BEIJING – seeking foster or adopter for 4-5 month old puppy OSCAR. If you are in Beijing and can provide a safe foster or adoptive home for Oscar, please contact chris@littleadoptionshop.com

Oscar was rescued two weeks ago by a very compassionate expat couple, Sara and Nick, who found him looking very weak by the side of a river. He had trouble walking, had lost most of his eyesight and later had two seizures in hospital that day.

After several days of exams (no infectious diseases, no distemper) and treatment, Oscar made a stunning recovery and the vet’s best guess is that he suffered a concussion. He has recovered his eyesight, has no trouble walking and no recurrence of seizures. As far as we can tell, he’s as healthy as can be.

The Little Adoption Shop has paid for a portion of his treatment costs and will be providing him shelter if we can’t find a foster by Wednesday. (Currently still at Sara and Nick’s home)

If you are in Beijing and can provide a safe foster or adoptive home for Oscar, please contact chris@littleadoptionshop.com

Pangpang 胖胖 (ADOPTED)

视频 Videos:

Pangpang doesn’t like having his nails trimmed, but does very well in a cat restraint bag. Easy-peasy!

Here’s a short film that Pangpang starred in， “Who Did It?” 胖胖主演的短片：《谁干的？》

我的故事 My Story

被主人遗弃的。主人搬家的时候，把我遗弃在房子里，被房东发现的时候，胖胖脱肛和身上的伤口。胖胖有巨结肠的问题，但是只要坚持每天吃处方粮，就可以获得者很健康。

猫猫“胖胖”，是2020年十月来到小铺的毛孩子，他的原主人搬家时，把他放在猫包里、留在了退租的房子。医院的检查结果，证实胖胖患有脱肛、腹部外伤、下泌尿道系统感染、膀胱炎，并携带疱疹病毒，需要住院治疗。此时的宝贝已经非常虚弱，我们也并不知道距离他脱肛到底过了多久，他的原主人又是何时搬走，把他单独扔在屋内。
幸运的是，胖胖是个心大的孩子，被抛弃和病痛都没有影响他对生活的乐观，随着胖胖身体逐渐的好转，我们将他接回了小铺，调整身体的同时，也希望能帮他找到一个不嫌弃他的领养人（因为脱肛有复发几率）。
时间慢慢过去，憨憨傻傻的胖胖轻易的赢得了所有见过他的人的喜欢，就在我们都认为胖胖的身体已经逐步恢复健康时，2021年1月13日，胖胖再次脱肛，短短三个月，就又要经历一次开腹手术。1月18日，胖胖出院，他依旧那么天真可爱，仿佛什么都没发生过的样子。
2021年2月5日，胖胖因排便困难再次入院检查，本以为这次只是因为脱肛导致的便秘只需要简单开药，但最终的检查结果，却是“巨结肠”。拍出的片子显示，胖胖除了堵塞在肠道内的便便外，片子中可见的脊椎、后腿、髌骨全部畸形，而正因为脊椎的畸形，影响了胖胖肠道的正常运行，最终会导致两种情况：长期软便或便秘（长时间的软便和便秘都有可能造成猫咪脱肛，便秘也可能导致巨结肠）。于是不到一个月，胖胖又再次入院做了手术。

基本信息 Basic Info

公猫，两岁左右，健康，跟别猫狗很合群，性格独立。他很亲人，但是自己总是很忙，有很多事情要做。所以，他不是那种随时赖在你身上或桌面上猫咪，而是喜欢偶尔过来找你，蹭蹭你，然后继续去忙自己的事。

THE DOGS FLYING ON THIS TRIP

SUCCESS!!! Fantastic Four – Four Rescue Dogs Fly to London

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT Lulu, Hockey, Dengdeng and Youyou!

Lulu, Hockey, Dengdeng and Youyou are four rescue dogs currently in the care of the Little Adoption Shop in Beijing, China.

On Oct 22, they will be able to fly to brand-new lives in the UK, but we need to raise the costs of their flight. Due to Covid and the costs of cargo, this trip for these four pups is expensive, but we want to grab this opportunity to get them to their forever homes in the UK asap!

The Little Adoption Shop has rescued thousands of dogs in China and currently is sheltering more than 700 dogs in two shelters in Beijing. Please pitch in whatever you can and share with friends.

ADOPTED! From Foster to Forever Mom

XiaoZhuang (aka, Brother Zhuang) has been adopted by his foster mom (not pictured). We visited him in Huairou yesterday, and he still remembered us. When we rescued him, he had a seriously leg fracture, and was in a ditch for at least a day, unable to move.

Xiaobei – ADOPTED! – Kitten Who Hitched a Very Long Ride

We rescued this kitten last night. XiaoBei travelled in the undercarriage of a tourist’s car all the way from a resort in BaShang to Beijing (about 4 hours). They had fed her at their hotel, but didn’t realize that when they left, she’d snuck into a space above the chassis of the car. When they stopped a rest stop in Beijing, she crawled out and approached them. UNFORTUNATELY, they had no intention of taking her home with them – and were just going to leave her at the rest stop (4 hours away from her home). Thank God, my partner and I stopped in the rest area just at the moment and took her with us. Tomorrow, she is going to a foster home (thank you, Shirley!) and hopefully have a forever home soon!

ADOPTED! 已领养！Ricky has a Great Adoptive Home！

SEEKING INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO FIND ADOPTIVE HOMES

SEEKING US/CANADA-based rescues and individual rescuers to partner with us to get our dogs into homes.

For almost ten years, we have been a Beijing-based rescue, but we are seeking to reduce our shelter presence here over the next three years, so we need to find homes for the dogs in our three shelters. We are not giving up on rescue in China, but we will be changing our sheltering and adoption model significantly.

Potential partners:

humane societies
private rescues
individual rescuers (for instance, if you are an individual rescuer and are able to foster a couple dogs in your home or network of friends)
individual adopters — of course, if you wish to adopt a dog from us directly to the US or Canada, please contact us.

By “partner” I mean to help us find homes, does not mean funding partner. We are developing funding for transport independently, so we’re not asking for rescue partners to fund us, but more importantly to help us help us foster and find homes for our dogs. We are also looking for lots of funding support too, but that is a separate issue. If partner rescues are open to co-funding the cost of transport, or doing fundraisers locally, great! But not a requirement.

We can arrange transport of dogs in groups of two to eight dogs per trip, but if there are larger organizations who have the ability to help us move more dogs per trip, please contact me.

We are very serious about health and immunity, and make sure all are dogs are healthy, vaccinated and that all travel-related quarantine and health inspection requirements are met.

新年好！Happy New Year!

A short video New Year’s Greeting from some of our fans and friends and their beloved furkids.

Ellie is Blind, but Healthy and Confident – Seeking a Home in the US or Canada!

This is Ellie. She was purchased by foreign rescuers from dog meat traders in Yulin, then left with resource-poor local rescuers. She and four others were suffering from distemper, but the local group had no funding to treat them. Although we are in Beijing, a volunteer of ours asked me for help, so we arranged to have her and four other dogs sent to Puppytown hospital in Guangzhou and managed to save all five from distemper. (Ellie later lost her eyesight to glaucoma.) We later brought them to Beijing.

Even though we were already overcapacity, OUR STYLE AT THE LITTLE ADOPTION SHOP IS THIS: Once we decide to rescue a dog or other animal, we take full responsibility and never leave them behind.

Even if we have to reach out to third-party shelters in Beijing (friends and co-rescuers) to help us temporarily keep them safe, we never give up and always keep them in our fold until they are adopted or reach the natural end of their lives. This is one reason we have 750 dogs in our care now.

At the time, I chose not to get involved in the controversy regarding how foreigners were rescuing dogs in Yulin, and continue to do so, but I really don’t see how people can raise money for a rescue, then leave the animals behind and never inquire about their welfare ever again.

***

For Ellie, who is blind, but healthy otherwise, we are now seeking a home for her overseas.

If anyone is able to give her a forever home, please contact us!!!

Good News for Abandoned Blind Dog Jenny (ADOPTED)

This is Jenny. After being abandoned by her human family, she spent a year and a half living under a tree in a park, blind, and totally dependent on the kindness of strangers, would leave food and water for her. When we found out about her, even though we were overcapacity, we got her out of harm’s way. Now, thanks to your support and the help of angels Sally, Andrea, Monique and her new future mom Pam, her life has already changed. On Christmas Day, she’s flying to the US to start the next chapter of her life.

Helen 和吴大夫（ADOPTED）

Helen 和 “吴大夫” 在美国领养家庭团圆了。

Nana (I) – Struck by Car, Serious Spinal Injury

Nana was found either lost or abandoned and paralyzed on the ground. Then things took a turn for the worse — can’t describe for certain reasons that are sensitive, but she wound up in a place that would have been the end of her. By the time we got a call to help her, she had already been taken away. All hope was lost, and we couldn’t find a way to rescue her. Then a super-powered angel, who happens to be a good friend, got her out and we took her straight to hospital. X-ray doesn’t show obvious spinal column (vertebrae) injury, but still need to do MRI and other tests.

UPDATE: Results are not great. There are no obvious breaks in the spinal column itself, but the MRI shows that she had a very serious blow, with serious damage to spinal cord around around thoracic vertebrae, with less serious damage near the neck. She obviously suffered a very hard blow (by car, most likely), but is no possibility of surgery. Vet Dr. Rao is going to try stem cell therapy and possible acupuncture. But prognosis is not good. I’m waiting to get digital copies of the MRI scans to share with other specialists.

If you want to support our work, please see our GoFundMe page. Every little bit helps!

Nana (II) – We’ll Miss You

UPDATE: NANA passed away but spent her last weeks in the most loving family she’s ever had. [Updated photos below.] After having a mammary gland tumor removed a few months ago, Nana developed a new tumor just behind her front right leg. Dr. Chen of Heng Ai operated yesterday, saying that he was able to get margins on the removal while not damaging critical nerves and blood vessels (this was a lucky). Waiting for pathology report. Nana previously had a massive mammary gland tumor before we first rescued her. She is a super friendly dog, with a lot of spirit. If there were a family willing to take her in for her final years – her prognosis won’t be great, but we’re hoping for the best.
