Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Twiggy! Lovingly named after a super model because of her long legs!
We call her our little reindeer as she is so gentle and ready for a new life. Twiggy has traveled across the globe to find her new, forever family! Twiggy is a gorgeous, very petite, shiny jet black shepherd-mix; approximately eight months young. This tiny, 15 pound puppy was abandoned outside a factory in Taiwan and left for dead. She patiently waited for her family to come back for her, but sadly no one ever came.
Twiggy is thriving in her foster home. She loves other dogs, people and children of all sizes. She is so entertaining to watch. She exudes sheer happiness in discovering the joys of dog toys. Her favorite pastime is rolling around on the carpet. This is a small luxury that she has never had before. She is adjusting very well to city life and loves making new friends. She will let her foster mom know when she needs to go potty by going to the door. Twiggy is always making her foster family smile. They cannot stop raving about how special and wonderful sweet Twiggy is to have in their home. Are you ready for some Twiggy love?
If you are looking for the true rescue experience and a dog that will show you endless gratitude for being a part of your family, then come meet Twiggy Give the gift of life this holiday season. Your gift will grow and blossom for many years to come. These special angels have traveled many miles to find their forever family, and with your help, we are determined to give them all the second chance they so deserve!
One thing that every rescue dog has in common is a gratefulness for being given a second chance. Thankfully, in the US, there is a very large network of animal rescuers who can make that second chance happen. Sadly, this is not the case in many other countries around the world; countries where dogs are not valued or cherished; and are instead discarded in the streets like trash; left to die alone and scared; in many cases, after suffering horrific torture. Taiwan dogs have a special gentleness and gratitude about them. It is a privilege for our rescue to save them. In Los Angeles, many people will tell you that they have had the joy of adopting a dog from Taiwan. It is like a special club membership and a great conversation starter.
