Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Feb 1 Update: Dane has come so far! The resilence of dogs is amazing! He has become a trusting and happy boy and greets strangers happily. He seeks out attention and often comes over and puts the gentlest paw on your lap for a pet. He knows sit, paw, come, wait and is 99% housetrained.He walks nicely on leash, loves car rides and meeting dogs on walks. He plays very well with our other dogs as well. In the house he is content to lie in his bed ... or which ever bed is closest to his people. He sits by peacefully now while we cut his nails or put in his ear drops, and seems to enjoy any attention, including being dressed up by our daughter. Daners in still a little unsettled by loud noises or voices, but recovers immediately.
He would do well in a quiet household, without small children, that appreciates a gentle sweet soulful companion. He has met all types of animals, and showed no reactivity to any of them.
Dane is a 2 year old neutered male. He is a Taiwan Formosan mix and defintely striking. This poor guy was rescued off the streets of Taichung by the TUAPA shelter as a young pup. He was then brought to Canada by another group that was not committed to his rehabilitation. He was unfortunately bounced around when they had trouble with his fearful nature, and of course this only increased his anxiety.
We have now claimed Dane and he has been placed in an experienced foster home for rehabiltation. He truly wants to be with people and likes to be rubbed and stroked, he just doesn't trust quick movements or having his collar grabbed. His absolute favorite human, a teenage girl, can do anything with him and he feels very secure and happy with her. Now we are working to get him trusting humans in general, and he will stay in this dedicated home until that day comes!
