About Dora:
Dora has a mild and stable temperament. She is well behaved: no excess barking, stays calm and sleeps overnight in her crate; she is also an excellent walking companion! Dora is very playful, children and adults alike, as well as other dogs and cats. She is very food motivated, loves chew toys; and enjoys keeping her humans company. Once she even comforted another dog while being treated in the hospital! She is an absolute sweetie you would not want to miss!

About Dora’s rescue:
In south eastern Taiwan, near the coastal region, where the villagers are very much into worshiping the local goddess, but most of them are short in the knowledge about animal welfare, let alone caring for them. Unfortunately, Dora and her nine siblings were born in this area. As the volunteers were overwhelmed with the number of strays to be cared for, rescuer’s help was sought. When Dora was taken over by the rescuer, she was only two months old. She was severely malnourished. But she’s also one of the luckier ones to be raised by a foster family.
