10 Promises to My Dog

1. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

2. Place your trust in me. It's crucial to my well-being.

3. Be aware that however you treat me I'll never forget it.

4. Before you scold me for being lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when it's speaking to me.

6. Remember before you hit me, I have teeth that could hurt you, but that I choose not to bite you.

7. Take care of me when I get old.

8. You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I have only you.

9. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember I love you . . .



Who can give me a sweet Home





This puppy might look as if it is wearing traditional white Taiwanese “funeral stockings”, so he and his siblings were abandoned to avoid bad luck. They were finally found by one of our members.







A volunteer group from Taiwan...

We are a group of Taiwanese volunteers and two foreign residents. We are doing our best to save as many of Taiwan's street dogs as possible.
Taiwan's streets are full of them, so what we can do is only little, however we are trying to save as many as we can. Our small group of volunteers uses their private assets and free time to take of the dogs and pay for the vet treatment and neutering.
We do NOT receive any financial support of any institutions here in Taiwan. At daytime, we are working in offices, but in our free time we are trying to help them. Every dog needs a home, so we trying to find Taiwanese or overseas people to adopt the dogs in our care.
As we only have very limited space for our dogs, we can only take care of a new one if one gets adopted.
We are focused on finding a new home for our dogs.
If you want to help : You can support us by donations to help us paying the expenses for our dog rescues.


"Taiwan Dog" has international friends

The "Taiwan Dog", also called Formosan or "Formosan Mountain Dog", which is the result of lots of stray dogs interbreeding, is on the edge of becoming viewed as its own pure breed. Here at stray-dogs.org, you will find Taiwan Dogs, but also all kinds of mixed breeds and pure breeds, because they all are roaming Taiwan's streets.

We have moved the website to our new webhoster and it is fully functional again. A happy new year to all visitors and supporters of stray-dogs.org.

12/2008:
As our webhoster has announced to close business in Q1/2009 we cannot rule out interruptions of our online service. We will try to continue seamlessly at another hoster. If you cannot reach this website once in a while you can still get all updates about our work in the Animal Section of the blog of our member Ruediger: http://taiwanformosablog.blogspot.com/ also accessible simply as Globalforeigner.com. Kindly bookmark this page.

08/2008: This new website is introducing dogs to you, which had been roaming the streets and had been rescued by us. We brought them to a vet and cured them and so they are looking for a loving home in Taiwan or overseas. As there are probably ten thousands of stray dogs in Taiwan, we kindly ask you to consider adopting one. Take a look and find yourself a grateful companion which will be loyal and loving to its new owner, when it finally found a home.
