Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Pauline!
Breed: Formosan Mountain Dog
Mixed: Yes
Gender: Female, Spayed
Age: 2 years
Weight: 28lbs
Size: Medium
Dogs: Good with big and small dogs
Cats: Good with cats
Kids: Good with kids

Energy Level: Medium
Pauline and her sister were found wandering around a breakfast shop where the owner would secretly feed her leftover bread or bacon. But some of the neighbors didn’t like the strays living around there and called the animal control to capture them. The breakfast shop owner didn’t want the dogs to go into the shelter, so she quickly reached out to the rescuer who came and took them home to take care of them and getting ready to find their new homes!
Pauline has been living with a foster family for a while, but she is still shy with strangers and requires a family with love and patience to help her open up. She used to be terrified of other dogs (we assume she was bullied by other stray dogs before), but now she can easily make new dog friends and play with them. If the other dog is unfriendly, she will run away and give herself the space she needs from them. She is nervous around strangers, but she will let strangers pet her if they approach her slowly and gently. But sudden big movements can still easily startle her and make her want to run away. However, once she warms up to you, she is the most affectionate, cuddly, playful to people she trusts. She loves to be hugged very much! It might take some time to earn her trust, but once earned, it will be so worth it. She will approach and sniff strangers if they pretend to not see her. She is house-trained and she knows to potty outdoor and she also knows to use training pad at home as well. She is well-behaved at home that she is quiet and doesn’t chew on furniture. She is very comfortable to stay at home alone and play with her toys quietly. She walks well on a leash that she doesn’t pull the leash, however, she is a curious little girl of the outdoors and very curious about cats and birds as well.
