Marlie is a Labrador cross Formosan Mountain Dog who stands 58cm tall 77cm long and weighs 28kg (61.74lb). Her favourite thing to do is going out for walks and saying hi to all them humans; Marlie is a heavier set girl who loves people more than her own kind.

Marlie was abandoned in a newly developed neighbourhood in Central Taiwan. Her people loving nature makes her walk around and greet everyone in the neighbourhood. Because of her size, people become paranoid, many called the animal control and poor Marlie ended up in the shelter.

[post_text_body]Ellie is a beautiful, 3 year old (estimate) 8.82lb mini pinscher who is elegant, lively, but unusually shy for the breed. She’s sensitive but not barky towards stimulations, children and cat friendly, and somewhat sociable with other dogs. She may be a little fearful when meeting a stranger for the first time, but she transforms into a lovely cuddly babe after you have given her time, love and patience!

Ellie was abandoned in a public park in Central Taiwan. She was extremely scared and panicky and was running around looking for her owner. When her effort was proven unfruitful, she hid in the bushes and helplessly trembled. After love and care from the rescuer, she could walk in a harness with a lot more confidence than when she was first rescued.

[post_text_body]Missa is a 5.5 months old introverted girl who is obedient, friendly, and quiet. Despite of her submissive nature, she interacts and socializes very well with other dogs. Although she can be somewhat jittery and shakey when meeting new people, she lets people pet her and opens up after a while. She is also gentle with children and other small animals.

Missa was found on a deserted mountain range in Northern Taiwan along with 3 other siblings. Not only were they covered in fleas, malnourished, but also manifested with corneal edema. According to the initial assessment, if Missa’s eyes don’t respond after 2 weeks of medication, the chances of recovery is slim. Fortunately, her eyes are improving just a few days after being on the eyedrops and she’s expected to have a full recovery!

[post_text_body]If this is the first time you have met Kala, she’d seem like that girl in the classroom who’s shy and reluctant to express her opinions. If you have hung out with her for a while, you see that she’s actually that naughty miss popular who loves rough play! She loves hanging around the foster mother like sticky Japanese mochi. Unlike some extroverted pooches, she is quiet, gentle around children, cats and other small animals.

Kala was found on a deserted mountain range in Northern Taiwan along with her sister. They were found covered in fleas, malnourished, and with skin conditions. After they were rushed to the hospital, Kala’s sister passed away due to pneumonia the next day, while Kala strongly hung on to her life.

[post_text_body]Rody is your textbook Formosan Mountain Dog with a cute donut tail. At 1 year and 5 months of age, he stands 78 cm tall, 72 cm long, and weighs 22 kg, he is energetic, athletic and people loving! Already completed his potty train and can also go outside for his business, Rody is ready to challenge the mountains and roll on the couch in the beautiful British Columbia!

Rody was found along with his mother and 9 other siblings, in a plain where little people attend. Skinny and malnourished mother had just given birth. The rescuers quickly took them into shelter and over time, adopted out the puppies and mommy. Just as the rescuer thought Rody got his happy ending, Rody was returned due to barking problems. Apparently, the new “forever home” was not filled with happiness, but the fate of being chained to the pillar for life at the side of the busy road. He barks and warns as people crosses and enters into his territory and was reported by the neighbours. The rescuer almost begged for Rody’s return.

Rody socializes well at the foster’s family. Energetic, happy, without a worry on his mind, just like a puppy is supposed to be. Not surprisingly, he barks minimally when being at home and generally is a well-behaved pooch. Would you be his real forever companion?[/post_text_body]

[post_text_body]Bibi is a girly, shy, but people loving black Formosan mountain dog cross. She’s affectionate yet obedient. What’s better is that her best side-kick besides her foster mother is a cat! Yup, Bibi can play with him night and day. Are you looking for a cute cat sitter? Bibi is the one! Bibi was adopted from the street by a family who has never had any experiences with dogs. What they meant by “adopting” was really “neglecting.” When she behaved naughtily to ask for attention, she received physical punishment. The foster mother was friends with the family that first adopted Bibi, and took over Bibi when she found out what was going on, and got her all the shots and deworming treatments she needed. Bibi is obedient but she needs to be given lots of chew toys when left alone at home. She obeys boundaries very well and will only stay in the gated area. She also adapts well in an new environment. She will fit best in a family with a lot of things going on! At the age of 1 year old, she will likely stay in the size she is in now. Become Bibi’s permanent side-kick by sending us an application![/post_text_body]

[post_text_body]Lana is a 4 month old Formosan Mountain Dog mix and just that typical hoppy kid you see at a family restaurant. She is outgoing and talkative and a puppy through and through! Lana was part of a litter of five found at a fisherman’s wharf in Northern Taiwan. Despite their mother’s best effort to find a territory there, they were constantly bullied by other larger male dogs in the area. Other dogs would just come and steal their food, and very often that the puppies could only eat dirt, grass, even dead fish to survive. Fortunately, they were rescued and their 3 other siblings already found their forever homes! It is now Lana’s turn! Lana is at that puppy stage of life where she will nibble on everything she can find, which makes her a great carpenter around the home. Possibly from the past bad experience, she is fearful of large adult men and may bark non-stop when seeing one. Because of this, Lana will fit best in a household that can give her loads of stimulations and attention. Lana needs a patient, experienced dog owner to help her with her nibbling issue and barking. Will you be the one giving Lana a forever home?[/post_text_body]
