    Found in a park wondering around on Oct 4 2019. He was very chill and quiet, but he had a visibly enlarged neck. After shaving him they found the enlargement is not a growth, but rather unhealed wounds from dog attacks. The wounds were severely infected. He was also infected with heart worms and ehrlichia. With the rescuer’s effort, Murphy is now healthy! He has some bone spurs due to age but does not affect his mobility. He is overweight so he always walks slowly and no rush. He is definitely a water dog and loves swimming! His hair is long soft and silky! He will do well in a quiet and low energy family that wants a quiet companion.

    Allen and Arvin were puppies wondering on the street before the residents called the animal control. Seeing how care free the pups were, the rescuer saw great rehoming potential, then subsequently take them into foster care in Central Taiwan. 

    Both Allen and Arvin are affectionate, active, playful, and a little naughty in nature. Allen is the more submissive of the pair and is generally a follower. When going to a new environment, Allen can appear to be a little confused. With time, patience, and a little treat, he will come out of his shell quickly!

    Canello was abandoned by the puppy mill. Being caged all his life for breeding, we do not recommend crate training except in the beginning for potty training. Canello loves people and can play with dogs of all sizes. Being a puppy mill dog, he might take some time to get potty trained in the beginning.

    Felicia was a stray, and the rescuers in the area found that she was in heat. They prepared the food and traps to catch her, but Felicia came willingly gulping down the food. After scanning for chips, the rescuers found her previous owners, who didn’t care for her. The people came to the shelter and formally “abandoned her.” Seeing how  loving and affectionate Felicia is, the foster took her in, and prepare her for adoption. 

    Felicia might have been crated for a long periods of time so she could be resistant with crates. That being said, she was quiet and patient at the airport in the crate! The foster found that if she accidentally pulled out of the harness, she would run further if being chased. Her recall is good if there’s food present. She also responds to her name. Felicia was probably abused and hit at the previous family, so she might dart when a stranger moves too quickly or displaying unfamiliar behaviours towards her. 

    She can be bathed but she’s not a big fan of it. She might growl to communicate but is never aggressive. Like most Formosan Mountain Dogs, she is a sassy character. A treat based training method will aide her obedience but a communicative approach will be the key to successful bonding.

    Both Purdy and Maxim are Formosan Cross small breed terrier (mother). The small breed terrier was kept in a cage for all 10 years of her life. The only time that she was tether out, she was in heat, and got pregnant at 10 years old. The rescuer could only recover Maxim and Purdy and the owner of the mother dog has given other puppies away. 

    The sisters are both affectionate and full of energy! Maxim is a beautiful medium hair girl! At the age of 4 months, they are barely at 4 kg. Both are extremely food driven. Due to the size of their mother, we think they will be at most a small medium size dog, if not smaller.
