Kid Friendly*: 3/5 Dog Friendly*: 2/5 Cat Friendly*: 1/5 Barking: 2/5 Chewing: 1/5 Separation Anxiety: 1/5 Fear for Adult Men: 1/5 Active Level: 3/5 Independence Level: 3/5

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.

Rafael was found in the countryside roaming by the rice field in Tainan. His back was scarred but was not skittish at all. He was very affectionate towards people walking by. The rescuer attempted to find his owner, but the locals told her that Rafael has been roaming the field for around two weeks now. Since then, the rescuer visits Rafael at the rice field everyday until she found a foster for him. She has attempted to look for local homes for sweet Rafael but was not successful.

Rafael is a happy, affectionate, playful, active dog. He’s social and friendly to dogs and people. He might be a little nervous when going into a new environment and adapts quickly.

Mia and Robin were found together at a temple in Central Taiwan. The rescuers think she had an owner who let her roam unspayed. She had many litters but she had no puppies left when the rescuers found her. Mia is a sweet heart and loves people, stranger, children and even cats! Rescuers thought Mia was much older, but she’s actually super playful and happy!

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.

Mandy was put in a cardboard box and dumped in a park. The locals found her when out walking their dogs. Mandy was helpless and scared that she didn’t want to leave the box. The people who found her didn’t know what to do so they made a facebook post asking for help. Once Mandy is placed in a foster home, she becomes a happy playful girl!

The rescuer saw a post on Facebook on March 15 2021 about a tiny little pup alone in an abandoned vegetable farm. He had such sad eyes. The rescuer drove to the vegetable farm and found him. Lucas approached cautiously and took treats from the rescuer’s hand but would not let her touch him. After around 10 minutes, the rescuer finally managed to put the leash on him, and Lucas followed her home without any protests. When Lucas got home, he was so happy to see all the dogs. He’s especially loving towards the cats and wants to play with the kitties all the time. He is still a little cautious with people but since his move to Vancouver has shown more interest and will even go up to people to say hello. Lucas is such a sweet, loving boy. He likes to wake up his foster parents with a wet snoot to the face and sloppy kisses, and you can tell he’s happy when he starts wagging his tail in a windmill fashion, which has been known to continuously whack against the wall/floor and knock things over from time to time!  We know if given time, he will grow into a confident doggo! The first few days when he was rescued, he’s so malnourished that he pooped only dirt and grass. Such a sweet boy deserves a loving home!

Meta was found in Miaoli end February, and she was very affectionate and happy. Because she’s so good with people and strangers, the rescuers think she had a home before. Unfortunately, the rescuers couldn’t find any microchip when taking her to the vet to scan her. Meta is happy little pup that likes everything everyone and especially food! Although she is cat friendly, shyer or non dog-savvy cats may dislike her. Sometimes she barks at strangers out of excitements, but can be easily corrected. She wants to play all the time, so a family that is active and is into training would be a good fit for her.

[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!
