We had a happily busy weekend for adoptions, with quite a few dogs finding their forever homes. The delightful brother and sister pair of Hansel and Gretel (now Peanut) were two of them, each going their separate ways to lovely families.
Small adult Bonnie was adopted at Whiskers N Paws, while new puppy Pesto, who came to us only recently along with two assumed siblings, was taken home after the Sunday Puppy Party.
There are lots of other happy adoption photos which you can see below, but I want to talk about the small dogs that are still waiting for homes and are currently staying on Lamma due to lack of space at the Homing Centre. Two of these are assumed sisters Maisy and Lemon, and I strongly suspect that one of them may be the mother of Hansel and Gretel. They're the same small size, and shape, and with the same very happy and friendly nature. They're also young, although unfortunately Lemon tested positive for heartworm when she arrived (one of the large intake including the many French bulldogs).
Willy is another from the same intake, and he's a gorgeous terrier type, probably a Jack Russell cross, small and very friendly. He's shown on his way back from Acorn after being desexed.
There was a very special adoption at Tai Po, and while of course all adoptions are special, this one has a story attached. Some time back we were contacted by a vet who said that a man had brought in a healthy young dog to be put to sleep for no good reason, and finding out that Ruffle had been adopted from HKDR the vet contacted us. Of course we took Ruffle back, grateful to the vet for having let us know. By chance the ex-girlfriend of the man who so cruelly wanted to end Ruffle's life spotted her on our HKDR website, and immediately offered to take her back. The reunion was a very happy one, as you can imagine, and Ruffle is now safely back home.
I'm going to be taking a couple of weeks off from today when I fly to India for a holiday, but I'll still be online and in contact as usual. Please expect delays though, as hopefully I'll be relaxing by a beach somewhere!
Please keep checking our Facebook page for news of new arrivals, but also remember that we already have plenty of lovely dogs of all sizes waiting for homes. You can browse through the full gallery at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/dogs/ if you want to see them all.
