    Rex was rescued on the night of Sep 7 2020. The rescuer went to the temple nearby, and that’s when she saw Rex outside. She took Rex to the animal hospital nearby to do the vetting, before releasing him back to where she found him. Because Rex was so quiet, obedient and pretty, the rescuer decided to rehome him instead of releasing him back to the temple.

    Rex is gentle and obedient. He would wait for his food without any prior training. He is a little shy in the beginning and would stay in the corner to observe in a novel environment. Just give him some time and space, he will come to you in no time! Rex does love playing with dogs, but sometimes when the play gets too rough, the adopter will need to separate the pups to allow them to cool down.

    Cat Friendly: Lives with a cat. Sometimes she likes to tease the kitty but has no aggression

    Barking: Alert

    Chewing: Loves chewing fabric and shoes esp. with her doggie friends. Loves playing tugging. Getting better with age.

    Fear of Men: Typical Formosan Shyness in the beginning. Given time, space and food she warms quickly

    [post_text_body]

    Loves playing fetch with people. Found with her siblings Mocha and Pepper on the seaside probably with the intention of drowning them. When they were found, the pups were happily chasing each other and eating sand. They were not skittish at all. Currently she’s living with 2 adult dogs, one 1 year old and another 6 year old. When she plays too vigorously or misbehaves, the 6 year old would come and discipline her. Pear always obeys. At the same time, she plays very well with the 1 year old. She also lives with 3 kitties. She loves playing and teasing the cats if the cats let her, but would not pursue if the cats walk away. Pear is an affectionate kisser and would greet everything everyone with kisses by jumping on them. For this reason, supervision is very important when meeting small children. Although she’s not skittish, Pear does need some time to warm to strangers and a new environment. Pear will do well in a family that is active and can keep up with her puppy energy!

    *Chewing: Currently only chews leashes, and crate gates.

    *Prey-Drive: Ears get a little perky, however when walking with furry friends, she just likes to bark with them, but often does not know what it’s all about. 

    Sully’s story starts in Taiwan, where she lived on the streets. It seems like she used to belong to a family, but life wasn’t easy for her. She might have been kept in a crate for a long time, trying to escape by chewing the bars. Eventually, she ended up abandoned, or escaped her harsh life.
    When rescuers found her, Sully was in bad shape. She was skinny, with an injured eye and broken teeth. But despite her rough past, she’s a sweet and loving dog.

    With care and treatment, Sully’s physical wounds healed, but she lost sight in one eye and some of her teeth. However, her kind personality remained unchanged.

    Now, Sully is adjusting to a comfy bed and gentle handling. She’s looking for a home filled with love and patience, where she can be herself. In the beginning though she might need a some help because of her sight.  At times, Sully is ok on her own but she prefers to be close to her hoomans or fellow doggy companion.

    Sully gets along well with other dogs, children. Sully prefers a gentle touch near her head. She’s shown herself to be incredibly clever, picking up commands such as recall quickly; she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn and play.

    She’s also good at letting you know when she needs to go potty. With her wornderful spirit and curious nature, she’s ready for the next chapter in her life—a forever home where she can be happy and loved.

    Lily was abandoned along with two other siblings at the Fisherman’s Wharf. When she was found, what was beside her were the bodies of her siblings. In fear of Lily being run over by cars like her other siblings, the rescuer scooped her up and fostered her. Lily is very friendly towards people and dogs, but is sensitive with loud noises. When hearing loud cars or loud noises on the street, she might stop and refuse to walk. When she freezes, it is important to not pull her, but to calm her down and encourage her to walk on. Lily loves to play with dogs and can be a little shy at first when meeting people. With some encouragement and treats, she opens up quickly. She potties outside mostly, but sometimes poops at home.

    Ranger was found dumped by the river park. The tourists saw Ranger by himself, trying to play with everyone. When it was at the end of the day, Ranger tried to leave with some of the tourists but was disappointed that no one was going to take him home. A passing by student saw this, and decided to take him home. Unfortunately, the student’s parents do not allow dogs at home, and he would only hide him. He knows it is a matter of time before his parents find out, so he made a post on social media asking for help, and that’s when the rescuer took over and placed him in fosters. Ranger is a happy go lucky and affectionate boy! He was so in Taiwan and still is here in Canada! In his Vancouver foster, he sleeps through the night with the little girl, and is doing very well with the resident dog and kitty! Although Ranger is generally friendly with cats, he sometimes forget the feline friends are not puppies! We will recommend supervision in the beginning when they interact.

    Cat Friendly: Won’t chase or attack

    Rupert was taken to a vet hospital to be neutered at 2 months old. The vet thought that was too young, and while waiting for him to grow older a kind woman inquired about him, and upon learning that he had been found as a stray at a local market, and that the venders at the market were mean toward him, she decided to take him in and foster him. He has since been living in a household with other dogs and a man and woman, and gets along great with them all.

    Rupert seems to have been born with no fears, he is not afraid to play with bigger dogs and he is very quick to want to play, even taking the initiative to play with strangers, which is uncommon for strays with his background.

    Being a Formosan Mountain dog cross, he will grow to a medium size dog around 15-20kg and of a border collie size. Due to the intelligent, sensitive, and active nature of the breed, Rupert 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.
