Molly is an extremely sweet dog who loves nothing more than a good head rub. She is about 8 years young and is a medium to low energy dog. Although she loves being around her people accepting endless amounts of head scratches, Molly enjoys her “me” time and will often wander off when she’s had enough. She doesn’t display any separation anxiety and will generally find a comfy corner at home to hang out on her own. She doesn’t need the constant attention of her human and is happy chewing or playing with her toys. Molly would do well being an in an only dog household or having a dog-savvy pup sibling who understands her boundaries. Currently she is living with a senior mini poodle sister and she has been the BEST and most polite foster to date! Good introductions to other dogs are extremely important in Molly’s case as she can be very particular about her company. If the doggy intros are good, Molly ends up doing very well in group settings.
As with all rescues, Molly is no exception and has some quirks that come with her. This girl loves her walks and will do her happy dance to let you know how excited she is. She is generally pretty good on leash with minor pulling but she does get reactive when she sees another dog – even from a distance. She will bark and try to lunge in the direction of the dog but she can be corrected by pulling in the opposite direction. When walking on busy roads and riding in cars, she does have a tendency to bark at traffic but after some time, the barking does subside. In regards to humans, she is a pretty mellow dog. She will come to you when she wants affection, but if she is in her own space, either sleeping or chewing on her toy, you do need to watch how to approach her. She doesn’t like to be surprised or bothered in her personal space and she will let you know by her growl. It’s best to call out to her and let her come to you to accept cuddles and pets.
Once you really get to know Molly, you will see that she is truly an amazing dog. With some dedication and the right environment, she will thrive and learn to overcome her insecurities. She is just waiting for the right home that understands her current needs and is willing to work through them.
You will need to be careful when touching Molly’s behind and right hind leg as she has had previous surgery which induced early arthritis. She does experience pain in those areas from time to time and will let you know by limping and growling. Her arthritis is easily managed with oral medication.
Molly was rescued in Central Taiwan in the public shelter April 2019. When the rescuer visited Molly was chained to a post as a new surrender waiting to. be processed. She was malnourished with discoloured large breasts – it was clear that she had a few litters of puppies. Molly greeted the rescuer happily – that’s the moment the rescuer knew that Molly deserves a good home.

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. They currently live in a foster family with both a man and woman, and other dogs. Arvin is still very cautious about going on walks, but with time will gain confidence and love walks.
Being a Formosan Mountain dog cross, they will grow to a medium size dog around 20kg and of a border collie size. Due to the intelligent, sensitive, and active nature of the breed, Arvin will do best in a family that has a medium to high energy life style.

Rozza, Romma, Renna and Reppo were found dumped at the remote graveyard without their mother when they were around 1.5 months old. They clung close to each other hoping to get more warmth to survive. Luckily the rescuers spotted them earlier on and brought them in. Romma and Rozza were diagnosed with Parvo. Fortunately this was caught early and they recovered very soon!
Because the litter was handled by people earlier on in their life stage, they are not skittish. Rozza is the very friendly and extremely affectionate toward people. She is very food driven and will listen any of your commands when there’s food. All puppies play very well together and they will only hide if a very large dog approaches them.
Being a Formosan Mountain dog cross, they will grow to a medium size dog around 20kg and of a border collie size. Due to the intelligent, sensitive, and active nature of the breed, Rozza will do best in a family that has a medium to high energy life style.

When the rescuer was driving through the mountain in a hot day in April, she spotted a dog lying by a busy road on the side walk. The rescuer thought the dog was dead so she quickly parked the car, only to find the “dead” dog stood up, and came to her wagging tails. Nova followed the rescuer onto her car and just got rescued just like that! Nova is very loving, social, and adaptable. She always carries a smile that brightens the foster’s day!

Thor was found dumped on the mountain emaciated in Central Taiwan. He was lying under a tree when he was found. Thor is super gentle and loving! He can be quiet at home, but can also take the high energy walks and hikes. He’s very dog friendly and can play like a puppy anytime! He also walks very well on leash and is potty trained. He does not guard his food with dogs or people. After finishing his own food, he will move on to the next bowl.
