Fri 17th Oct: Peak to Fong and other upcoming events in the pipeline

 We have a lot of exciting collaborations for the coming months in the pipeline, all of which serve two purposes.  The first is to bring in much-needed funds so we can save more dogs, and the second is to help to share awareness about HKDR and what we do.  Of course we'll be sharing information as the time approaches, but for now all eyes are on Peak to Fong, taking place on Sunday 23rd November.  Although that might seem a long way off, we have already sold out of some T-shirt sizes, so please don't wait to buy yours. I'm sure you already know that Peak to Fong (P2F) is the most-fun dog event of the year, and we always look forward to meeting our ex-HKDR dogs and their families. 

As you may have noticed if you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, we have been asking for foster homes for new dogs coming to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, or rather even before they arrive.  This is because we had an outbreak of a serious strain of kennel cough at the Centre, and while it's resolving and the affected dogs are recovering, we need to make sure that the premises is totally clear of any potential infection before introducing new residents.   It's created a lot of work for Cindy, our Foster Coordinator, who honestly deserves a medal for the work she does, but we feel it's for the best interests of the dogs and puppies. We have a new intake waiting to be offered foster homes, and while about half of them have already found foster families, we still need more before we can say yes to the dogs arriving.  If you can help, please complete the form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/, or email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you're already registered with her.

I don't want to forget the dogs at our Tai Po Homing Centre waiting for homes, as they tend to get overlooked as it is.  We recently took in two lovely older puppies from AFCD,  now called Lizzie and Lottie, and they're both only medium sized.

Other than Lizzie and Lottie there are so many lovely dogs, some of whom have been with us since they were puppies, and they really deserve a chance of becoming part of a real family.  Please come and meet them at 6 Shek Lin Road, Tai Po, but remember to complete the adoption questionnaire in advance so we can suggest the best match for you and your lifestyle.  The form is at www.hongkongdogsrecue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/,
