THANK YOU for finding us and interest in our rescued dog. Because Lana is an international rescue through Taiwan. If you’re interested in adopting also can pick her up at international airport, please fill out an application on our website. Please email us if you have any question. Thank you very much. Apply at https://www.lifeofhopefoundation.org/adoption-application/ International airport for picking up dogs: 【SFO、SEA、LAX/ONT、JFK、IAH、ORD、YVR、YYZ、AMS】 ----------------------- Lana was found wandering around a garbage dump site looking for food. Her rescuers saw her eating out of a plastic bag, thinking maybe Lana found some food inside. However, upon closer inspection, they saw that Lana was actually eating the plastic bag as food!!! Lana was very skinny and was starving at the time, and broke the rescuers’ hearts. They were able to take her that day. One the next day, the rescuers went back to look for her and to rescue her, they could not find her. The people who lived close by said that Lana was taken away by animal control. The rescuers went to the shelter and found Lana deathly afraid and could not stop shaking out of fear. Unfortunately, due to the policy that all animals taken into the shelters have to stay for 12 days, they had to wait for the period to be over to get her out. They knew it must be a very difficult 12-day for Lana as shelters are scary places! Because of the period of being in an overcrowded shelter, Lana needed time to warm up to strangers. Nonetheless, she still trusts people once she adjusts to the new environment, and would give all her love! She loves to go to dog parks and to play with other dogs. She will do well in a family with other dogs, which will help her adjust faster. One great thing is Lana is very food motivated! We believe with patience and understanding, she will be a perfect family member. She is house trained and uses pee pads inside. She also knows how to do her business outside. Would you be interested in making her part of your family? She is waiting for a forever home! Please contact us anytime if you want to know more about her personality and habits. If you’re interested in adopting Lana, please fill out an adoption application!

THANK YOU for finding us and interest in our rescued dog. Because we are an international rescue through Taiwan. The dogs are likely still in Taiwan and you will have to meet your dog(s) and pick your dog(s) up from the airport. International airport for picking up dogs: 【SFO、SEA、LAX/ONT、JFK、IAH、ORD、YVR、YYZ、AMS】 ------------------------------------ Flynn’s rescue story: Flynn was found on our feeding spot on a mountain all alone without any siblings or companion. After feeding him one or two times , it came out waiting for us to play with us once he heard the sound of our car engine . Every time we left, he chased after our car for a little distance. Thinking that he might be hurt among the traffic and also being reluctant to leave him alone in the dark mountain, we decided to take him in. After a thorough health check at a veterinary hospital, we later found him a foster family to get him ready for adoption. Flynn is now all set to find his forever home and gets all the love and care he deserves. Meet Flynn: Flynn is close to people, friendly to cats and dogs. Flynn might be an occasional enthusiastic chewer as his canine permanent teeth just started coming in, so make sure he has plenty of soft and flexible toys to chew on. He barks a little bit while walking whenever he sees something strange or not familiar with. Barking stops after he figures out what those things are. He enjoys goint to pet-friendly restaurants with his humans. He likes approaching other guests by himself and befriending them. Flynn might be a little skittish and nervous if kids or people approach him with big body movements. Otherwise, he’s a sweetie pie with boundless energy. Because Flynn used to be a stray dog when he was little, he might devour when he gets his meals. As you may know, stray dogs fight for food . However, he’s getting more disciplined now . Little Flynn is now looking for a loving home and for a chance to shower you with much love and joy! Please watch Flynn’s videos to learn more about him. If you are interested in this sweet goofball, feel free to contact us for more information or simply fill out the adoption form on our website.

Story
Fenty is currently staying with a foster home in Los Angeles, CA. and looking for her forever home. If you’re interested in adopting Fenty, please fill out an adoption application on our website, we would love to hear from you! Fenty’s Rescue Story: Fenty was found wandering at a betel nut stand in central Taiwan. People nearby said she had been at the betel nut stand for nearly a month and refused to leave. It was likely that she had been waiting for the owner to take her home. The place where Fenty wandered was not safe and there were many vehicles on the road. Neighbors feared that Fenty would one day be hit by a car, so they posted her condition on the local Facebook group to search for help. The rescuer learned the news from the Facebook group and decided to take the little girl to the animal hospital to scan the chip, hoping to help her find the owner back. Because Fenty was originally wearing a collar around her neck, the rescuer thought she must have her owner. Then, the rescuer took her to the animal hospital with full confidence to scan the chip, but the result was no chip. Therefore, the rescuer placed her in the hospital first and let her got the spayed surgery. During the placement and recuperation period, no one came to hospital to adopt Fenty. Even though all of the hospital staffs praised her as a wonderful dog. After that, the rescuer was reluctant to let her go back to the betel nut stand and continue to live a homeless life. She decided to let Fenty go to the foster home to find someone who will always love her. About Fenty’s Personality Fenty is a super friendly and confident puppy. She comes up to people first. Even if it is a man, she can approach it naturally. But if someone suddenly reaches out and touches her directly, she will back away a little. But if people can squat down before interacting with her, she will roll over and show her belly to be touched. If you have some dog treats in hand, she will lie down and roll over to be touched more quickly. Whether it is an adult or a child, as long as there are some treats in hand, she will happily and quickly roll over to show her belly to be patted. When outside, she likes to interact with other dogs. Whether it is a large or a small sized dog, Fenty can get along well with them. As for interacting with cats, she has not been in contact with cats yet. Opportunities for her to interact with the cats will be scheduled later. When Fenty plays with other dogs, she sometimes gets too excited. She may behave rudely and violently. Her overexcitement leads to acting a bit rudely. Once you stop her, she will stop and calm down. When she is in the crate, she is territorial. She will growl and bark whenever other dogs approach, but there is no territorial behavior that causes barking once out of the cage. Fenty is both indoor and outdoor potty trained, both on artificial turf indoor and turf outdoor. She doesn’t like to be crated. But as long as it is lunch break or bedtime, she will still obediently enter the cage according to her foster mother’s instructions. Her favorite things to do every day are eating treats, walks and showing off her belly. There are two things that Fenty is afraid of. She is terrified of long sticks. As long as she sees her foster mom mopping the floor, she will get nervous and retreat to the side. The second thing to be afraid of is the loud noise outside. If the sound is too loud, she also hides aside. The behavior of chewing objects has occurred. Fenty did bad things with her dog companions, but this bad behavior has not been seen for a long time. She eats two meals a day. She is not allergic to any food and never picky about food. She eats homemade chicken jerky and other dog treats every day. She has no food guarding behavior. She only growls if another dog approaches while eating a bite-resistant dog treat. For humans, Fenty also has no food guarding behavior. When she was eating, someone passed by or took her food directly. She is not angry at all. She sometimes barks when there are unfamiliar sounds outside. She will stop barking as soon as foster home mom stops her. It’s also great that she doesn’t have separation anxiety. Also, she can fully cooperate with bathing, blowing, clipping nails and cleaning ears.

THANK YOU for finding us and interest in our rescued dog. Because we are an international rescue through Taiwan. The dogs are likely still in Taiwan and you will have to meet your dog(s) and pick your dog(s) up from the airport. International airport for picking up dogs: 【SFO、SEA、LAX/ONT、JFK、IAH、ORD、YVR、YYZ、AMS】 Apply here https://lifeofhopefoundation.org/adoption-application/ ------------------------------------ Didi was found wandering a tea farm in the mountain region of the famed Sun Moon Lake. He was about 1 year old then. He followed the strays that lived around a tea factory and tried to survive an unfamiliar surrounding (He was most likely brought there from another area to be dumped). The tea factory workers have been feeding these stray dogs. However, there were many illegal traps set up by local farmers and hunters. In 2020, Didi unfortunately fell victim to one of these traps. When he was found, his front left leg had already been badly infected. One of the people that had been feeding these dogs took Didi for treatment and the vet amputated his left front leg. After he recovered, he was brought back to the tea factory area. Sadly, Didi disappeared for over 1 week in late 2022. He was found to have his right front paw caught in a tray. Again the wound was so badly infected, the vet had no choice but to amputate Didi’s right front leg. The rescuer, who had been one of the kind people that fed Didi and the group of strays, was very worried when she learned about poor Didi’s second injury, and decided to take Didi with her. She has 2 other dogs at home and he got along really well with them. Because Didi is such a friendly and gentle soul, the rescuer wanted to help find Didi a forever home. Didi loves to jump into the push cart, and to be out and about. He loves sunbathing and be with nature. Didi loves people and is very gentle. He would not get mad or frustrated when encountered things he did not feel comfortable or likes. Sometimes he would avoid strangers (but not all strangers). If strangers who like dogs, he would allow them to pet him or approach him most of the time. He is very submissive. He is very friendly with children, and would sniff infants but would not do more than that. He gets along with children in his foster home. Didi likes to hangout with dogs his size. He would avoid dogs who are too dominant or too excitable. He tends to wag his tail when he meets a friendly dog after sniffing each other. He has yet to have an opportunity to interact with smaller size dogs. When Didi was homeless, he was attacked by cats multiple times and tends to be afraid of cats. He would observe from afar and not approach when meeting cats. Because he never really had a full belly being homeless, he always seems to be hungry. He eats super fast during meal time. However, since he is very submissive, he does not show food or resource guarding behaviors. If his food was taken by other dogs, he would go look for another bowl of food. Of course, we don’t let these things happen and would help them respect each other’s space, especially during feeding time. We made sure all dogs have their own food. Didi lost his two front legs but still enjoys his life. He never acted like the lost of limbs affected him or his enthusiasm for life. He has prosthetics to help him walk (the rescuer made those for him), however, he cannot wear them for too long as he would get uncomfortable or hurt his body. Without the walking aid, he adapted to walk with his two back legs. It is not a difficult thing to care for him, especially he is easy-going, friendly, and submissive. If you are interested in Didi, please do connect with us. We will be more than happy to share any details. Didi deserves a second chance in life! Would you be his forever family?
