Shih Tzu

Some people are so heartless. This is Macy, a 12 year old Shih Tzu that was left by owners… She has been abused by the owner’s father and after 12 yrs, thrown out. Nevertheless, she is still happy and trusting.

It’s so hard to find these aged animals a home. She is 12 and might have a good few years to live, but many people are looking for a companion to be with them longer than a few years. We can’t even take it on to foster as it’ll be hard to home and occupy a foster for another… Poor dog, through no fault of it’s own.

millions of kittens

We have tonnes and tonnes of kittens looking for homes. Are you looking for a kitten? This weekend, we have a litter of 3 that was found. All under the ages of 3 weeks – mother was killed in a traffic accident. The other litter is a litter of 5. All 15 days old. Lastly, a litter of 7 at 2 months old…

Then, someone calls to day she found 2 kittens aged 2 months in MongKok, but we really cannot take anymore in as we only have a window to home these babies.

If you’re looking to adopt, please contact us: info@lap.org.hk

Some kitten pix to tease a little:

Sugar Baby

Sugar was a rescue a while back with 2 cherry eyes and chunks missing from his leg. He was wary at first, but soon got the hang of life. He was quickly adopted by a young loving couple, but didn’t understand that they needed to jeopordise their relation with their own dog a little, as they were not willing to work on it, they gave sugar back in 5 days. Their resident dog didn’t like sugar. So sugar went back to the foster and now looking for a home.

Sugar – 5 year old male.

Pls give me a home —

Minka – lovely toy size Shih Tzu

Little Minka is already 7 months, but her little body still looks like she is 2 months old. She is tiny tiny and one of the smallest Shih Tzu’s I’ve come across. She is smaller than a Chihuahua! Minka is a lovely girl, affectionate and easy. Because of over breeding, she is so small that it’s hard to say if she is under weight or just like that… It’s sad how HK breeding can go to such extremes. To get ‘toy’ ‘tea-cup’ breeds, breeders don’t let mommy dog grow naturally by restricting food intake and placing it into a very small cage, too small for any movement or growth… Then, once they can have puppies 5-6 months old, they start over producing puppies and do the same for these female pups. What does this result in? Tiny breeds… What does it also result in? Suffering mommy dogs that only live a life of not enough food and no space to move to puppies that result the same.. Health problems occur to the ones that make it to a home… It then keeps going. Sad…
