    Nix was abandoned by the rice fields along with his two siblings. They were posted on social media, and the rescuer took two, while another was rescued by another group. Nix is a calm dog and on the submissive side when socializing with other dogs. He’s shyer and more avoidant when he meets dogs that are larger than his size. He likes playing with dogs that are polite and gentle, and would avoid the ones that are overly pushy and extroverted. Nix is also quite food driven. He likes playing with toys. Similar to his dog preference, he prefers calm and gentle children rather than the loud, overt, overly eager children. He is on the shy side with strangers and take time too warm. He currently lives with 2 men, 2 women, 2 children, 8 dogs and 10 cats.

Unexpectedly, she went in heat in a few days, and the rescuers rushed her for an emergency spay. The rescuers were thankful that they got Olivia in time before she gets pregnant.

    When first arrived in a new environment, she’s usually shyer towards strangers, but is very gentle. She’s very quiet when being with children. For this calm temperament, the rescuer didn’t want Olivia go back to the street anymore. She currently lives with a couple, dogs and cats.

    [post_text_body]

    Rescuer rescued Lotus from animal trap in Taiwan. Lily had an irresponsible owner.  She was lucky that she was found early, and did not sustain permanent injuries. She could still walk normally.  She does not guard her food against people even when the food was taken directly away from her bowl. She does not guard her food against dogs and she could share her food with other dogs from the same bowl. Lotus gets spooked by firecrackers and thunder easily. Large and sudden motion could spook her as well. Lotus does not show aggressive behavior against cats. If cats hiss at her, she would bark back but would not charge toward the cat.
