    Playmate wanted for puppy (12 weeks) and owner!

    Hi

    I have recently got a rescue puppy, he is 12 weeks. I don't know anyone with dogs but I am keen to socialise him. He is a charming chap, very playful and energetic. I live on the Peak but would be willing to travel. Anyone interested? I am a 25 yr old Brit, friendly, recently moved to HK. Thanks!

    Did you join the SPCA pet walk?

    No I haven't heard of this....I am joining some puppy socialisation classes with SPCA. I will check out this walk on their website - thanks for the heads up!

    Even though registration date has past... Give them a call. Hope you can make it!

    Had your puppy had its third set of shots (if I recall this is usually done around five months). While socialization is important for pups, many dogs in HK are not properly vaccinated and there are lots of communicable pet diseases, so please keep this in mind and perhaps speak with your vet to get more precise info about risks.

    Good on you, there are too many idiot dog owners in HK who do not understand that dogs need socialisation.

    Pretty soon you will come across other dog owners when out on walks, so I am sure playmates won't be hard to find.

    My pup has had his third set of shots - so he is making his debut into the outside world next week! He is up to date on the shots side - we saw the vet last week. I have spoken to HKDR and I am going to walk some of their rescue dogs and socialize him with their pups! I want to give him every chance.

    I'll join if i can too! Unfortunately I haven't had much opportunity to bring my dog out to socialise ever since she's come from australia.
