With the Chinese New Year holidays finally over it's time to get back to the normal routine again, which will hopefully mean more families ready to bring a new four-legged addition into their home. We have so many to choose from, all sizes and age, and I was (sadly) reminded when looking through the photos of the Tai Po dogs shared on our HKDR Facebook page, that many came to us when they were just babies. Their siblings will have been adopted, but there always seems to be one leftover for no reason other than bad luck or timing, and it's a reminder that life can be very unfair. We never lose hope that these lovely dogs will get their chance one day, but until then we promise to do our best for them.
This includes outing whenever possible, such as the traditional CNY Hike with volunteers, and everyone had a wonderful time in fantastic weather.
It must be puppy season again, although I think that's pretty much all year round really. We had two requests to accept young pups over the weekend, and while we can't agree to every such request, as we happen to have the space at the moment we agreed to take a litter of six as well as a lone puppy girl. They're too young to be adopted as singletons, but we need foster homes (in pairs), so if you can help please start by completing the foster form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/.
At HKDR we provide all foster parents with everything that's needed in terms of food, beds, bowls and fencing, so we just ask that a safe and comfortable space is provided until the puppies can be adopted.
I'm always happy to write about adoptions, and as usual these usually take place at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, 13-15 Wai Fung Street, where the puppies and smaller dogs stay. Fergus, Freddie, Buster and Ernest were some of the lucky ones, while Colin was chosen at our Tai Po Centre.
If you're ready to adopt, please complete the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/, thank you.
