Later in the evening, once Callum had taken Li Ming home, she was given time to relax in the garden and get to know the surroundings and smells. Then she was introduced to her beautiful fur brother, Husky Kodi. Callum and his sister took them both for a walk which went well. Li Ming is used to being around other dogs and had a special friend at the shelter, Golden retriever Scout. Li Ming always sought Scout out to play with and he loved her in return so for her to now have a surrogate fur brother means that she will be able to settle in that bit better and not be alone. Li Ming's first day in England, although tiring and probably overwhelming has been a good one.

Li Ming is in England and with her new daddy Callum! He has waited a long time to meet her and we are delighted that they are finally together. Callum is an active campaigner against the Dog & Cat Meat Trade and Yulin Dog Meat Festival and supports activists like us in China as we fight this horror every day. Li Ming had found a passionate daddy who will fight for the fur children in her native country until the trade is ended. Thank you Callum for adopting Li Ming and for your activism! Li Ming landed at Heathrow Airport in London, England a few minutes ago. Her new daddy will meet her as soon as the formalities and paperwork have been processed. We can't wait to see them meet for the first time. We will update you as soon as we can.
Li Ming had her last breakfast in China this morning. on the day of the Summer Solstice. Her rescue could have been so much different. Waiting for the family who abandoned her, refusing to move from the demolition site her old house used to be on, she could easily have been picked up by dog dealers who could have sold her in to the dog meat trade if we hadn't rescued her. But now she has started her long journey to a new home overseas. Li Ming had her last breakfast in China this morning. on the day of the Summer Solstice. Her rescue could have been so much different.

But now she has started her long journey to a new home overseas. Today, Li Ming went to the vet in Beijing for her health check. She loved riding in the car to the surgery, it was all a big adventure for her. Her handler, Wang and one of her colleagues from the transport company took her so that she felt at ease. The vet gave Li Ming a thorough examination. Somehow from leaving Chengdu and arriving in Beijing, Li Ming has an injured front paw. The vet has given her some medicine and the wound is being kept clean with Li Ming on rest instruction. Li Ming also had her booster Canine Distemper and Canine Parvo vaccinations. After her check up she waited in the waiting room until the vet brought out the vaccination proof to show her adopter, Callum. Today is a big day for Li Ming. In just a few hours she is due to fly from Beijing to Frankfurt in Germany. We are all hoping that when the vet sees her, he will say her paw is ok to fly. She does not limp or seem in pain with it so let us all keep our fingers crossed! Li Ming arrived safely in Beijing. She has had time to settle and has had some dinner and water. She has also been taken out for a walk into the area around the pet hotel. Soon it will be bedtime. In just a few days she will fly to her forever home in her adoptive country, England! Li Ming is a lucky girl. Li Ming spent her last night with Du in a hotel in Chengdu. They spent some quality alone time together and had playtime too. Li Ming had a strong bond with Du because she was the only human she trusted after her rescue. In the morning, Li Ming had breakfast with Du for the last time before she was taken for a walk in the hotel grounds. Then it was time for Li Ming to meet one of our transport company colleagues at Chengdu airport. Li Ming will be leaving Guangyuan tomorrow. She will go to Chengdu airport where one of our pet transport colleagues will meet her, ready to take her back to their pet hotel in Beijing. This is the last time she will have a bath in China. One of our volunteers gave her a nice pampering, which she loved. Li Ming has been enjoying her last walks in Guangyuan with her friends. One of her close friends is Scout, the Golden Retriever who was rescued with Ascites. Li Ming has been there throughout Scout's recovery and always led with him and kept him company after his treatments. Li Ming will be missed by all of us but we are so happy that the time is nearly here for her to go to her new home and daddy, Callum, in the UK! |
