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.
