Diaries

Today, Whitey bit Pudding on the bottom... Pudding is generally pretty noisy, but snapping at others isn’t good. We'll have to get Whitey’s favorite volunteer to have a talk with him.

Juno just found a spider in the outside kennel and kept chasing it. Juno is very curious. She's so cute!

2010 Pet carnival

2010/01/08-2010/01/在台北的信義新光三越香榭廣場

舉辦一年一度的 Pet carnival

1. The next time you visit, check out Shoey. He really likes Hobbit. They even give each other kisses!




2. Whenever someone enters Buddy's room, he likes to stand on the table and wave his paws at them. Sometimes when I bend down to pick up the dog bowls, he taps me on the head with his paw. (Hey, that messes up my hair!)


3. Addie was bitten on the face again. It’s so sad! (If you pet the right side of her face, she groans in pain.)


4. While Pat was drinking some water, Lulu ran over to see what goodies he was eating. Lulu got too close to Pat’s bowl and he bit her, giving Lulu a wound on the head. We gave Lulu a little haircut to make it easier to apply medicine to the wound. Now Lulu has a bald patch on her head. No laughing please!




5. Norton went for a run today. There was a little dog that tried to play with him, but Norton was startled and barked at him instead. He tried to be tough with the little dog, but he was trembling. Poor Norton is afraid of new dogs.

Coco went to Taipei American School today.

Coco went to Taipei American School today.

Faye took him there to meet his sponsor.
She said that Coco put on a great show,
and that the students were crazy about him.
He made a big impression on them.

Here is a picture of Faye and Coco after they returned from their trip.
P.S. Coco kept trying to kiss Faye!

Stevie's new hat.

Stevie is the only completely blind dog staying with us.
Today just was not his day.
This morning Lucie found that Stevie had caught one of his legs in some cloth.
When I went to check it out, Stevie was trying to free himself,
but just becoming more tangled.
Not only that, he was snapping at any dogs that came near him.
We calmed him down and then tried to untangle the cloth.
Finally, Lucie found a pair of scissors and just cut it.
Afterwards, Stevie was trembling.
Lucie said that Stevie was crying
So, I watched him,
and saw that tears really were running down his face.
It was heartbreaking...

Later, Stevie came to explore the office
He was very curious about the garbage can and stuck his head inside for a whiff.
When he pulled his head out, the lid was stuck around his neck. Then, he walked around with his new hat!

English Sheep dog looking for a new home

This English sheep dog was found in Shen Keng. She is 1 and half years old (approx.), in good condition and has just been spayed. She is very friendly and can sit on command. She has odd eyes (one is blue not sure what the other is). Please contact us if you know who her owner is. ( or to adopt her.)

Paris Reunited With Her Owner!

Not long ago, Joey found Paris, a beautiful golden retriever. Now she’s back with her owner!

Joey was taking Paris for a check-up and asked the vet Paris’ age.
Just by chance, Joey checked to see if Paris had a microchip (She had been checked before but no chip was found...)

What do you know? She had a chip!
This beauty’s real name is White Snow,
and they call her Little Snow!

Her owner runs a home stay around Wulai and came right over to our holding center after finding out about Little Snow.
It turns out that she had been missing for months.
Surveillance tapes showed
that someone had whisked her away on a motorcycle.

Her owners were thrilled to finally bring their beloved dog home.
They kept asking her, “What were you thinking? You’re too trusting!”
The owner kept insisting on paying a "boarding fee" for Little Snowand invited us to be his guests at his home stay!

We’re so happy for them.

So, it pays to microchip your pets!

Joey said that raising the three dogs was “a sweet burden.”

Typhoon Morakot Fund Raising

New toilet for cats.

A new volunteer has joined us at the center,
she’s a U.S. trained veterinarian that specializes in cats.
While here on vacation,
she’s offered many suggestions on how to improve the cat room.
We’ve had a lot of questions for her, too!

She came up with a plan to fix the "smelly toilet" that we've had such a problem with.
She spent her own time and money to help us
and we can't thank her enough.

Now, the cat room has two large litter boxes.
I saw Simba, our three-legged cat, using them.
He was so happy, he almost stirred up a sandstorm!

Sucie and Susan's update

Here are some photos of Sucie. She is living with foster mom now.

Sucie's foster mom says that she couldn't believe that Sucie and Susan were born on the same day. Sucie is much bigger than Susan.

Susan now is staying at rescue center. She's got all her shots and is ready for adoption. She is still very playful. She likes to invite other dogs to play with her. NiuNiu likes Susan a lot. Today, Joey was giving Susan a nail cut for the first time.

Maggie's up date~

This is the up date from Maggie's mom !!!

She's doing really well, learning to sit, come and lie down. She doesn't always come, and mostly only comes to me rather than other people, but I'm sure she will start to trust more people over time. She has started playing now when we take her up on the roof, and loves the river outside our house. It's been great to watch her get more confident and happy.

Thank you so much Sarah !

XiaoLu's and his family

小魯實在是讓人超眼紅的啦~
牠的新家在花蓮
獨棟的建築
有很大的前後院
It really makes others feel so envious of such a wonderful home like XiaoLu’s.
He is living in Hualian, and even has a nice garden.

主人是來自英國
但在台灣也算是新住民了
主人之前在他原本的國家有二隻米格魯
也都是壽終正寢
XiaoLu’s papa had 2 beagle. They passed away because of old age. ( not sick.)

他們這一次決定要在台灣養狗是因為決定在花蓮買房子
主人第一次與小魯見面時就非常喜歡牠
儘管小魯有那麼一小點點的不完美跛著腳
當他們看著小魯時那種眼睛會發亮的感覺
我們相信這一次小魯是真的找到歸宿了　！
They made a decision to have dogs, because they love dogs and they know they have the right environment for them. Even though they found XiaoLu's imperfection, we still saw the sparkle in their eyes and we believe that XiaoLu found his real love this time.

Steinly

Steinly is a dog from Peitou. He has Dirofilariasis (heart worm). He also has a big, swollen belly and one eye looks like it has a Cataract. He was found lying on the side of the road, too weak to stand up. After medical treatment, he is doing much better and is recovering at the center. He will need medication for at least another two months.

XiaoHei 小黑

右前腳帶人打到骨折，醫生幫他裝了一個釘子在裡面。
紅框框裡的腳明顯比左邊腫很多...

Being bitten by a human may have been the cause of the serious fracture to his right front leg. The vet put a metal rod inside his leg, which will help with recovery, and six months later the metal can be removed. He is now staying at rescue center for special care.

Milky

黑白花 11/5 20:30於內湖行愛路通報捕捉， reported on 11/5

可能小時候套在脖子上的布繩，然後也許她後來走失了還是被棄養，
沒有人幫他解下來，所以慢慢陷進肉裡，通報的人士說有見血。
She was injured by the fabric collar on her neck, which may have been put on her when she was very young. The collar slowly started cutting into her flesh as she was growing.

抱歉她還很有戒心，無法拍到傷口的地方。
She is staying at the center for special care.

Wendy

Wendy

Wendy was reported as being injured by a trap, which cut off her paw at the wrist. She was in so much pain that she hid from people, making it difficult for anybody to find her.
After her surgery, she is staying at the rescue center for special care.

Hook

11/4 23:30於烏來西螺岸路通報捕捉，左前腳被捕獸夾夾斷。

Koala

Koala

A one and a half month old puppy was crying in the alley in Tienmu. The puppy had an eye infection, skin disease and a lot of ticks. One eye had to be removed because the infection was too serious. He is now at the center undergoing treatment and will need surgery as soon as he is strong enough.

Koala had a lot of lice on him. Lusan was removing them and massaged Koala.

After the massage, Koala fell asleep.
