My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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!

More about this rescue

We are a small group of pet rescuers in CA and WA/OR from Taiwan.
We rescue dogs and cats that needs help around us.
Save a life don't need a reason, it's just a beautiful things that everyone should do.
Seeing those once starved,
maltreated and homeless dogs transforming into confident, lively fur babies is what propels us. Finding a loving, forever home for the rescued dogs has been our ultimate goal.
---
For over 10 years, our foundation has been providing rescue dogs for international adoption to families in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver. After the application and approval process, we fly the dogs with volunteers to the desired destination for the completion of your adoption.

Formosa Mountain Dog (FMD) is a type of Taiwanese mixed breed. Most of it is Labrador or shepherd and Taiwan dog mixd breed. The rescues are usually abandoned, abused, and/or without a home. We take them in, provide them with a complete health check up, and spay and neuter as needed. Their information is then posted on our websites and social media, ready to be adopted.

You will see that most of our dogs are still in Taiwan. Only a few are local. The process of adoption takes careful consideration of the application and understanding of the environment to which we will send the adoptees. Currently, we do not have enough foster homes for an intermediary home, so we have to make sure there is a home for the rescues before we send them overseas.

As the dogs await their forever homes, we will continuously update their growth through photos and videos. This helps to provide the adopting families with more understanding of the temperament of the dogs to be ready for their adoption. Finally, after 14 hours of air travel, with the aid of our volunteers, the adopting family (you) will just need to arrive at the airport to meet your new family member!
