June Tsaotun Shelter Visit:

Trent and Tania ready to go!

Penelope's Dew Claw

One of the New Editions and his/her lump on the side :(

The new edition...yet to be named...Isn't he/she adorable??

This lil guy is a cutie!! Trent gave him the name Casper :) This is him playng with me :D

Every last Sunday of the month, Taichung PAWS go to a small shelter of about 20-30 dogs in Tsaotun (Nantou county)...

We hadn't been able to go for two months as we have been busy, but we got to go today!

There were seven of us today and the sun was BLAZING!! Trent, Quincy and Stan were AWESOME with cutting the SUPER HIGH grass and Trent mentioned using a weed eater next time as opposed to the sickle and shears we usually use and I hope we can find one as a sickle and shears is too HARD!!

Tania and I frontlined the dogs and Hino helped the Tsaotun Ai Xin Mama clean the floor and later Tania and I joined in.

Jacqueline took some of the dogs on a well needed walk! If these dogs can be fostered, they NEED to learn to walk on a leash!

Trent took Da Hei and I think Da Hei took a liking to him :D

As for the dogs...a few have been adopted and one has recently passed away. So far, Lucy was being fostered and now has been adopted by Trent and Tania. Toby is at Chris's shelter until he is off to Canada (fingers crossed!!)

Coco will now be staying with a trainer who will be fostering her and training her to NOT be scared and hopefully rehabilitate her which I think will go fine as she is a sweetheart!

Ruby and Whisper (the beagles) who are at a beagle rescue shelter in Seattle and will find homes soon I'm sure!! :)

Hazel(Coffee) has just been adopted and despite her cancer, I think Layla has been, too!

The Ai Xin Mama said Rory has been adopted and Yuki was, too (the puppies from a few months back)...

And I think Marcus took one as well!! All in all that's about 10 dogs gone from the shelter and there seemed to a lot less than before!

There are two new additions to the shelter who both were literally (unfortunately, this is common) dumped there. One is a beagle and he/she is a playful sweetheart! The other is a white dog who is so sweet, but has two giant lumps...one on the side of it's body and I forget where the other is :( He/she is soooooo thin and is in a cage...We'll have to check up on it next month.


Also, Penelope's Dew claw isn't much better...


Other than that, Colin and Colleen were wonderful as always and once we brought out the Peanutbutter and banana dog cookies (from Costco), they were following us everywhere :P Star was really shy which she never used to be and would run away..she came up to me a couple times, but not as much as she used to...:(
