Story
Samantha, spayed female, 2 years & 4 months old, 32-lbs If you would like to give SAMANTHA a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Samantha is a sweet young pup, friendly and mellow. She enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along well with cats too. She’s very stable and calm by nature, well behaved inside the house, not a barker. She’s potty trained to go outside, also crate trained to sleep overnight. Her favorite pastime is hang out with doggie pals in the park, her daily walks and riding in the car. With some basic training, Samantha will become a superb companion pet for any type of family. Samantha and her siblings were born to a stray mother dog. The rescuer decided to take care of the youngsters, after the mother dog was brutally poisoned to death. When Samantha was rescued, she was very fearful toward people. But after socializing for a few months with her foster family, she started to open up; could be a little shy when first meet, but warming up quickly. Now she is playful and healthy, and patiently waiting for her forever home!

Story
Allen, neutered male, 1.5-y-o, 36-lbs If you would like to give ALLEN a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application With a pair of big eyes, on a seemingly oversized head — compared to his small and bony body, little Allen wandered alone around the orchard. He tried to keep out of sight from people, even when the volunteers were doling out food for him. Apparently, he was deeply haunted by multiple attacks in his short three months’ life. After Allen was rescued, his physical revealed that he was severely anemic. Under the loving tender care of his foster family, Allen slowly gained his trust toward people around him and started to play with other dogs in the household. Still, he’s not too comfortable being held by people, but great improvement has shown as time goes by. Allen is now a lively, playful and happy pup when around familiar environment. He is super mellow and well behaved by nature, only a little shy around strangers, especially toward men. He gets along well with other dogs and cats. He’ll be a great addition to family with dog!

Scooby, neutered male, 2.5 yo, 42-lbs If you would like to give SCOOBY a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Meet Scooby! Scooby is a handsome young pup, well-mannered, cuddly and friendly. Scooby is very close to people, and he heeds commands well. He’s very food motivated, so is easy to befriend and thrive in new environment. He is sociable around people of all ages, also good with other dogs and super friendly with cats too. He’s not a chewer or barker, nor would he get into fight with other dogs over food or toy. Please watch Scooby’s videos to learn more about this goofy sweet boy! About Scooby’s rescue: Scooby’s mother and his five puppies wandered to a fishery in central Taiwan suburb. The fishery owner tried many nasty means to drive them away. They were finally wounded up in the shelter. Scooby being playful and pleasant by nature, he was adopted soon. Unfortunately, his owner got into trouble with the police and had to send him back to the shelter. A second owner kept Scooby for a short time but due to his inexperience with dogs, Scooby was given up shortly after. The rescuer decided to place Scooby under the overseas adoption program to give this sweet dog a second chance.

Story
Dolly, spayed female, 3y-5-m-old, 44-lbs If you would like to give DOLLY a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Dolly has an easy-going temperament, very playful and lively. She loves people and is sociable around other dogs and stays calm when meeting cats. She is potty trained and crate trained to sleep overnight; not a chewer or barker. Dolly is most suitable for an outdoor loving family, and/or as an addition to family with dog. Dolly’s rescue story: Driving home during a stormy night, the rescuer spotted a dark moving object in-between the traffic lanes. When she stopped her car to check it out, she found Dolly moving toward her slowly, wagging her tail. She didn’t seem injured but apparently had difficulty moving. Dolly followed the rescuer to her car and off to the hospital they went. The doctor’s diagnostic was that Dolly simply suffered from starvation. Under the care of her foster family, Dolly regained her hearth and received proper training. But being a dog with black color coat has hardly any chance to be adopted by local people. Hopefully Dolly can start her new life aboard.

Amber, spayed female, 3y-9m-old, 35-lbs If you would like to give AMBER a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application About Amber: Amber is a beautiful, adorable and affectionate young girl. She is aimed to please, she loves to be praised such as “beautiful princess” “good girl” and very food motivated, so is easy to train. She would follow foster mom around and keep her humans company as long as she’s felt needed; “an absolute sweet girl!” as quote by her foster mom. She is potty and crate trained; well behaved when inside the house, has no chewing or barking issues. She is close to human, not shy with strangers including kids, dogs and cats. She could be a bit wary around unfamiliar places, but able to adapt quickly with the help of yummy treats. Amber is loving by nature, she’ll be a great companion pet for any type of family, or family looking for sibling of the existing dog. Amber’s rescue story: Amber and her siblings were born to a stray mother. They lived under the highway overpass and kept alive by volunteer’s irregular feeding. At five months old, Amber and another sibling were adopted. But only after a short six months, Amber was returned due to her owner’s financial hardship. Because Amber’s previous home was in an isolated environment, she was a little skittish when exposed to bustling city life. But under the care of her foster family and regular walking on leash, her sensitivity to noise has shown great improvement.

Dora, spayed female, 1year-10months-old, 32-lbs If you would like to give DORA a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application 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.
