Kid Friendly*: Fairly Shy – met groups of active kids in the park who ran over and wanted to pet him, Mac was a bit scary and tried to escape

Dog Friendly*: In the open space Mac doesn’t interact with other dogs; in the restricted area such as crate and single room, Mac doesn’t like to be approached, sometimes he would even growl to warn other dogs not to get close

Cat Friendly*: Will chase cats in a manner as if he is hunting

Mac used to be a sire dog for breeding and is generally very friendly to people. He enjoys gentle rubs on the ears and back and could be very affectionate. Though at dog salons he bites the chain to release his nervousness but never bites human. At vet’s, Mac hates to be held tight in place, but he will take blood test calmly without external force.

Being kept indoor for most of his life, Mac gets very excited when he goes out for walks. When he is having too much fun, he might not react to people’s calling and commands. Therefore, it is recommended not to let him off leash outside except for dog parks.

Overall, Mac is very territorial. He would try to pee and mark wherever he can to claim territories outside. He also barks when hearing vehicles driving by the house, and growls at other dogs when they get close to him. Mac is also a bit “clean freak” when it comes to potty. Although hasn’t been trained to pee or poop at certain spots in house, Mac never does so at where he considers home and always holds it until out of the house. He has very easy-going diet habits but might guard foods towards other dogs.

At the moment, Mac is looking for a patient and lovely new home to settle in Canada.

In October 2020, Robin was found in front of a temple along with Mia. The temple host told the rescuers that they were both homeless. Mia had given birth several times already and the puppies all disappeared shortly after birth. . Robin had seemed to be ill for a long time but no one ever tried to help. The rescuer took both dogs for neutering and spaying and veterinary care. During X-ray testing, we found that Robin had an old pelvis injury . The fracture long ago healed on its own and luckily does not appear to influence Robin’s mobility. Robin will just need to take some supplements for joint health. The initial plan was to neuter Robin and release him back to where he was found. But during his care the rescuer discovered Robin had a wonderful temperament. He was unexpectedly obedient and picked up some commands right away. Unlike other senior dogs, he was very active and friendly to people, even with strangers and children. It became obvious that Robin had been well trained by previous owners, such as knowing how to sit or lie down when people give him treats. Robin’s disability immediately after what we assume was a car accident is very likely the reason he was abandoned. Getting to know Robin’s personality has been such a wonderful surprise for our rescuers. We hope a new family can share this pleasure, appreciate what a sweetheart Robin is, and provide a loving place he can call home.

[post_text_body] Cocoa was dumped along with 3 siblings in a dried trench. In fear of them drowning, the rescuer scooped them up and placed them in the safe shelter, waiting to be rehired. Cocoa loves playing with dogs and is friendly with people. She does take some time to warm to strangers and is very food driven. She quickly trusts when treats are presented to her! She does get car sick!

Yuri was found on the road with dermatological conditions and wounds that were clearly from being abused. After taking Yuri to the vet to treat for her wounds and skin, she started to heal. Yuri is very affectionate and energetic. Yuri is passionate, good with kids, and not afraid of strangers. She loves to play and does not guard at all. When Yuri is excited, she might lightly nibble on your fingers to beg for more playing but does not bite.

Overall, Yuri will fit well in active families that can provide her with lots of exercises including hiking, zoomies and stimulating playtime. As a Formosan Mountain Dog cross, we expect her to grow to a medium size, medium to high energy dogs that will require good exercise and mental stimulation.

Freda is abandoned at a local company. She always ran out to welcome people during rush hours and some ladies were feeding her throughout the week. They were concerned that she might starve over the holiday, and might be hit by cars, poisoned or trapped. Because of this fear, they decided to find an adopter who can take care of her. In Taiwan, it is difficult to rehome a Formosan Mountain Dog.

Freda is very cautious when facing strangers or being placed in a new environment. She would shake or hold her tail between her legs for the first few days. Having other dogs around could help her relax. Freda can be cuddly as well. She shares the bed with her current foster since day one, and she always knows how to pick the spot that is the closest to the foster dad.

It takes some time for him to get used to a new environment. Once he is familiar, his personality comes out. He is extremely food driven and would steal food from other dogs’ bowls after his done with his meal. He’s not scared even if the other adult dogs growl at him. Tyton can evaluate if he will get “disciplined” by other dogs and pushes the boundaries. Tyton is part of a litter of 7: Tyton, Tank, Tiger, Lewis, Lu, Sesame, and Tyler. Their mother was not spayed. Despite having an owner, other dogs had access to the mother kept in the yard, and the pups were the result of it. As a Formosan Mountain Dog cross, they are expected to grow to a medium size medium to high energy dogs that will require good exercise and mental stimulation.

Andrei was traumatized from an early childhood car accident, so he is quite sensitive to traffic on walks. He can be a bit cautious with strangers too but given time will eventually warm up and hop around. Andrie is generally curious and playful. When he meets new pup or kitten friends, Andrei would always reach out, sniff around and invite them to play. Because of this, he often gets soccer punched by the kitties. After the punches, Andrei would respect the kitties’ boundaries and leave them alone.

Andrei is independent enough to stay at home alone. When his people leave the house, he barks to say bye for a bit then rests and entertains himself for the entire day. Andrei potties outdoors currently. Occasionally when he had to stay at home for too long he would have pooping accidents. He does not use pee pads. At times, he uses chewing to express his frustration when he needs to hold in his poop. We are hoping a loving and experienced family can help him get rid of the bad habits.
