This means a lot of work for the rescue centre staff. It gets very muddy here, so the staff have to work overtime to make sure everything and everyone stays clean. Also, it means that the doggies don’t get walked/exercised as much. If you have time during the week or on the weekend when the weather is dry, please drop by for an hour or so to walk a few doggies. This really helps keep them healthy and calm, and also increases their chance of adoption since they aren’t so excitable and know how to walk well on the leash.
Rescues救援
Fluffy, who is only 2kg, was found wandering the streets. She was found and taken in by a very kind gentleman. She looked very sick and old. The vet said that it is difficult to tell how old she is but around 10 at least. She has an old eye injury and has lost most of her teeth. She has had treatment for the eye and she is healthy in every other respect. She is very friendly and loving. She has already gone on a tryout so we have our fingers crossed.

Three little kittens were found abandoned in a paper box. They were not properly weaned yet and were very weak, but were otherwise healthy. They were fostered and now are healthy and happy. Two of the three have already been adopted and the third is waiting patiently at our rescue centre to be adopted.
Zuck was an older male ginger cat who was spotted dragging around a gin trap on his paw. He was quickly caught and taken to the vet for treatment. It was noticed that he had a previous eye injury and that his leg was badly infected. On further assessment, he was also found to have kidney problems. Although the vet did everything possible for this poor fellow, Zuck passed away and moved on to a better life. (photo: Zuck)
Bei Bei was found in a very weak condition and had an eye infection. She is very friendly and responded quickly to treatment. She has already been adopted into a lovely family. ( photo: Beibei )
A cute little male Maltese was found by a nice lady wandering the streets. He didn’t have a chip or a collar. We are currently helping the foster mom try to find his owner or at least get him adopted. ( photo: the male Maltese )
Chibi was found abandoned by his own mother because of a lack of milk. A nice lady took him in and is fostering him. The foster mother has worked very hard to keep him healthy and well. It has been a long road, but now Chibi is ready to be adopted into a loving family. ( photo: Chibi)
Nini was a stray cat who was fed by a kind lady. However, Nini recently got bitten by a dog and needed treatment. Unfortunately, she lost one of her ears because of the attack but she is otherwise quite healthy. Nini is currently being fostered and we are helping to look for a loving home for her.

A stray dog was rescued because he was severely emaciated. After examination, he was found to be too thin. He was neutered and needs regular food and supplements to bring him back to health. He is currently being fostered. (photos : Blacky )
Xiao Mei Mei was found wandering a busy road by a nice lady. She didn’t have a chip or collar. We tried to find her owner but had no success. Xiao Mei Mei was put up for adoption and found a home very quickly. She is now in a loving home getting the attention and love she deserves.
CNR捕捉-結紮-放回原處計畫:
There is a feeding lady not too far from our rescue centre who has been feeding about 8 dogs. We have recently helped her capture and spay the four females and will go back to capture and neuter the males once the weather settles a bit. ( photos: CNR dogs.)
We have been trying very hard to complete the CNR project in Shen Keng. However, the remaining dogs are very wise to us now and have alluded us time and time again. But we won’t give up. It is our mission to make sure all the dogs in this area are spayed or neutered.
我們一直很努力希望盡快完成深坑的CNR計畫。
Adoptions 認養
As mentioned above, two of the three kittens have been adopted. Bei Bei, Xiao Mei Mei, and Fluffy also were adopted to loving homes.
More great news is that Sporty arrived safely in Canada. She has been adopted by our night watchman, Aaron, who moved back to Canada this year. ( photo: Sporty and new daddy )

Unfortunately Foxy has returned to the rescue centre. Although her new mommy and daddy worked very hard with her, after 45 days they still couldn’t get close to her. We are going to work with Foxy and hopefully she’ll be ready for adoption in the near future.
In November, Danica may need to come back to the centre from her foster home. She is wonderfully healthy now thanks to her foster mom and we hope to find her a home soon.
Rosy (the mixed Rottweiler) was unfortunately caught by the dog catcher this week. But she was quickly rescued and taken to the rescue centre. She has already gone into a foster home.
Rosanne (Rosy’s Rottweiler mom) has also gone into foster care, as we were very worried she would also get picked up by the dog catcher. She’s very well behaved.
Da Bau, the two-month-old puppy rescued last month, has come to the centre for treatment and to find a new forever home. He is very loving and can’t get enough kisses. He has big floppy ears and is the cutest thing. We are hoping he’ll find a loving home soon. ( photos: Dabau )
As always with all our rescues, we never put a dog or cat to sleep unless the animal is suffering greatly with little chance of recovery. We will always strive to make sure every animal is given the best treatment and best opportunity to live a happy and loving life.
We are able to continue these rescues and adoptions thanks to your generosity.
If you would like to be kept up-to-date with stories and photos on our progress, you can now check out our blog http://animalstaiwan.
Please continue to check out our webpage and pass it on to friends or family members. There are always some wonderful dogs up for adoption, so if you have friends or family interested in adopting, please show them our website. www.animalstaiwan.
Remember, adopting saves lives! Please educate those around you to get their animal desexed and micro-chipped to help decrease the stray population.
