    The rescuers went to the coal power plant to trap and neuter dogs and William was one of the dogs they trapped. He was easy and so friendly that the rescuers could just walk over to him, pick him up, put him in the car and drive off. After the rescuers got to know him, they decided to find William a home he deserves. The rescuers heard from the staff at the power plant that William came from the Fujian province in Mainland China via a boat. No one claimed him back when the boat returned to Fujian. Because the workers at the power plant are mostly men, so William is very used to male strangers and are not afraid of them. When he goes to a new environment, he might hold his pee and poop for 3-4 days until he settles. Overall he is calm, obedient.[/post_text_body]

    [post_text_body]Meet Junior! He’s the pupper that has the most insane smile that will bright up your gloomy day! He loves dogs, people, children, men, even strangers. Despite never lived with a cat, he seems to show little interest in the cats he’s met at the vet. Junior enjoys to be held like a baby in his hooman’s arms and just be cuddled all day long! Being an “attention whore”, he does howl to have people notice him. Sometimes he gets so excited that he mounts, but will stop if corrected. All in all, Junior is a happy go lucky boy that will need some manner and independence training.

    Junior was found on March 28th when the rescuer was visiting a friend’s restaurant and that’s when she saw Junior, with a cutest head tilt and half standing ears, staring into the glass door, as if he was wondering what people are all doing. When the rescuer walked out of the restaurant to look for Junior, he already crossed the road to another shop, and smiling to charm everyone passing by. The rescuer crouches down and called Junior, and he ran right into her arms. The rest is history. Being a Formosan Mountain Dog cross, Junior will do best in a home with an owner who is active and has some experience in handling dogs. We expect Junior to be around 35-45lb when fully grown. Although Junior has shown little interest in cats, the relationship with kitties greatly depends on the handler, the temperament of the cat(s), and the set up in the home.

    Despite that Junior is diagnosed with elbow dysplasia, he is one happy trooper and he does not need surgery or other medical care for his elbows, just a life without long hikes or extreme athletics. Junior has medical insurance with Trupanion that covers his elbow dysplasia (and everything else) so he is covered for future veterinary needs if his adopter maintains this insurance.

    Junior can still be active and would suit a family that wants to spend time with him in ways that are not extremely athletic. He can go for walks off leash for an hour or two, and because he has a confident, outgoing personality he will enjoy training classes and less intensely athletic dog sports such as obedience, nosework, Rally-O or tracking. He would love accompanying his human on errands to dog friendly stores or outdoor cafés. Junior is a charmer and makes friends wherever he goes – even at the vet he convinces all the staff to pet him.

    [post_text_body] Hugo was pulled from the shelter in Taichung. He currently lives with two women, two dogs and three cats. He loves sleeping with people! Other than pottying during the night, he can sleep through the night. When the humans sleeping next to him wakes up, he would wake up too and follow his person around. He loves being groomed and enjoys the warm air from the hairdryer. He can sleep through while being dried. He loves seating at the middle arm rest in the car when his human drives. Does alert bark sometimes at strangers but not always. So far, the foster has not figured out his trigger for his inconsistent alert barking. [/post_text_body]
