General

Why Adopt? +

In Taiwan. There are so many dogs – abandoned, homeless, given up by their owners or family members of their former guardians. Even being bullied by humans– that need, and deserve, our help. Before you want to adopt those abused, hopeless, emaciated and no confidence stray dogs, will needs a lot of work, Patient and times until they open themselves up.
Adopt a stray dog is never an easy way to find a furry friend, but even it’s a very challenging the spiritual wealth and results is priceless. They’re smart, fast learner and royal, they all deserve a second chance and a happy forever home.

Are there any adoption requirements? +

We look for families that are looking at a pet as a commitment and a FAMILY MEMBER, understand the costs associated with owning a pet, and accept responsibility for the care of your pet FOREVER.
Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Reflection prior to adoption to know what kind of pet will be well-suited for your home. How much time will you be willing to allocate to exercise, training, and so on? Rescue dogs need patience, love and be respected any space they need. They’re wonderful and just need the right family.

Are dogs for adoption healthy? +

Every rescued dog needs to undergo a thorough medical checkup, treatments, and a sterilization operation. We insist on taking care of them ourselves, so that we can closely observe their personality and behavior, as well as health issues allowing us to select the most suitable home for adoption. Before adopting, (including special needs dogs) we will definitely be honest about the condition of all dogs.
