Puppet and Mushroom safely arrived UK just now.




Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know that thanks to everyone's help especially Mayumi, Lusan, Rita, Joey, Mare and Big Rita and Samuel Puppet and Mushroom have arrived safely in the UK.
Mayumi has spoken to Elizabeth and all is well, i also recieved a message from Elizabeth to say everything is great. She'll send photos when she gets home.
Thank you everyone for making this possible, yes it was a lot of work, yes it was expensive, but i believe it has been worth it. We've not only helped Puppet and Mushroom find a fantastic forever home, but we've also freed up space.
A fantastic start to the year of the Rabbit. I hope you are all well and enjoy hearing this news as much as i did.
You can check out the great photos on our facebook fan page of puppet and mushroom getting ready to go and at the airport thanks to Mayumi.

Elvis 's Cut

Elvis has a cut on one of his ankles. Luckily, we caught it early so it isn't too bad.


We have to clean his cut daily so it heals quickly and doesn't get worse.
Elvis is very good about letting us clean his cut. We let him know what a good boy he is after we finish changing his bandage and he seems quite proud of himself! :)



Elvis may be over 10 years old, but he's still an energetic dog. He is also still waiting for a loving home, just like the other furries here.

Please feel free to visit Elvis or even take him home!

Sophie Gets a Bath

We took Sophie to visit the vet and found out she needs to take weekly medicated baths. So, AT volunteers didn't waste any time and got Sophie ready to take her first bath.

Sophie was afraid of people, so we had to calm her down first


You can see that Sophie was very scared. This was the first time she ever had a bath!




A few minutes into her bath, Sophie calmed down.


The vet said that as long as Sophie takes one weekly bath, she should be all better in just two months. Let's pray for this sweetie to have a quick recovery!


We would like to thank everyone for helping Sophie. Not only is she unafraid of taking baths, she is no longer afraid of people! Please contact AT at 02-2833-8820 or adoptions@animalstaiwan.org if you are interested in giving Sophie a loving home.

George - Doberman Pinscher







My name is George and I'm a Doberman Pinscher. I'm big but I'm very friendly and well behaved. I'm only about a year old. I don't know if I got lost or was dumped. The people who found me have put up posters but no one has claimed me, so now I'm looking for a forever home. I was very thin when i was found but now I've put on some weight.
I'm currently in Beitou, Taipei, and invite you to come see me.

If you are interested in adopting me, please contact Animals Taiwan at 02-28338820 or email inquires@animalstaiwan.org

URGENT VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED

URGENT

VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED

DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR!

2 OR 3 NIGHTS OKAY!

Dear All

For about 10 years I've been feeding two packs of strays (and two cats) in the XinYi Area.

Each pack has about five dogs. BUT NOW I NEED HELP, A VOLUNTEER(S) TO HELP FILL IN MY PLACE DURING THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

I will be away nine days from (Sat) Jan 29th to Feb 7th.

Already I have an old Canadian educated HwaQiao volunteer BUT HE's 75 YEARS OLD and can't cope with everything. But he'll faithfully show up. Any volunteer woulb be doing the nitty gritty work (like chopping up the dog food or cutting the bones) he can't do.

Ideally, I would like two or three volunteers so that each one would just have to work two or three nights.

If you volunteer I hope that you can come out at least one eveing with me this week to learn the routine and the details.

THIS IS NO ORDINARY GROUP OF DOGS. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY SPOILED AND PROTECTED AND ARE AFRAID OF MOST PEOPLE.

LOCATION

There are two chief sites of work.... One on SungZhi Road near the Kuma Supermarket and the other at 4-4-South Village (Next to XinYi Elemenatry School). TIME: USUALLY FROM 8 PM TO 10:30 (but this will likely change according to when the shops are open during Chinese New Year.

CALL ME: Need more info? Like to volunteer? Or see the work this week? Then call me CURTIS SMITH at

Tel 0987670007 or (w) 2725-5200 x 2655

Thanks for your interest, Curtis Smith
