Story
This stunning 6-year-old shepherd is active, smart, and walks beautifully on a leash. He'd love an active family to keep busy and loved. In the shelter, she does seem to be stressed — when people walk by his kennel, she barks at some dogs and ignores others. Super friendly out in foster.  ##2574240##

Story
BenBen is a true sweetheart and while he might be a little shy at first, give him just a moment! Once this sweet boy feels safe, his inner light shines and he blossoms into a loving companion who wants nothing more than to shower you with all his affection. Shelter Notes: Fractious on leash - fearful and not leash trained. Loves treats, takes them gently from hand. Enjoyed doggie playgroup, loves to run around. Would do best with another friendly/submissive dog friend. Kennel Presence: BenBen was hesitant as we approached his kennel. He took treats through the kennel doors but backed up when he saw the leash coming to him. BenBen tried to avoid the leash but was easy to leash with a bit of patience. Once the leash was on him though, he did start to panic as we tried to guide him out of the kennels. Leash pressure is very scary right now for BenBen and he tended to jump up in an erratic manner when he felt the leash pull on him. Touch: BenBen eventually sought out human affection from all humans that were not holding the scary leash. He even put his top half into a volunteer's lap to seek comfort. BenBen is a scared boy that is looking to make a connection with someone he can trust. He seems like he will be a very cuddly boy if given the chance. Dog to Dog: We tested BenBen with male red/white pit bull mix Harrold and female white husky mix Stripe. BenBen tested well with all dogs, but was pretty shut down/scared through most of the evaluation. He was a bit more confident when meeting dogs through the fence and would actually stand up for those interactions. For dogs behind fence he would sniff their noses and bodies and wag his tail nicely. When dogs were in the yard with him, he tended to pancake more, allowing them to pet him while he wagged his tail from down on the ground. He did startle a couple times as the dogs entered his personal space but was overall tolerant. BemBen would likely be fine with most dogs with a chance to decompress and slow introductions. He may even benefit from a friendly dog in the home to help show him the ropes and help him to not be so scared of the leash. Slow introductions are always recommended when bringing home a new shelter dog and should be done over the course of weeks (not days). Introducing new dogs in a shared home together over the course of several weeks can give the shelter dog a chance to decompress and feel safe, and the resident dog a chance to acclimate to the presence of a new roommate. ##2608173##

Story
**About Mini:** Thank you for your interest in adopting Mini. Please know that Mini is an international rescue through Taiwan. When your application is approved, you will need to pick her up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, YVR, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process for many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Mini's Rescue Story Personality: Mini is absolutely the most perfect FMD (Formosan Mountain Dog) we have ever encountered. No word describes her better than "perfect." Mini was once tied up with a heavy chain outside a house. The house was empty—no one lived there. The owner had simply tied Mini and another dog there, often leaving them without food or water. Since both dogs were chained and unable to forage, they could only bark for help. It was these barks that a member of our rescue organization heard while passing by. The rescuer tried to find the owner but quickly realized the house was abandoned. Neighbors said the owner only came by occasionally. Because the dogs were chained on private property right by the door, the rescuers couldn't take them immediately, so they committed to bringing them food every day. One day, the rescuer saw Mini wandering outside alone. Unsure why she had been abandoned, Mini was just moving aimlessly, sniffing for food, and even approaching people for attention. When she saw the rescuer from a distance, Mini recognized her. She quickly ran over and immediately lay on the ground, rolling onto her belly to show affection. Knowing Mini had been deliberately abandoned, the rescuer took her home immediately. What makes Mini so incredible is how incredibly smart and friendly she is. She immediately learned to use pee pads indoors and was accurate every time. Her calm, non-confrontational, and incredibly optimistic personality means she gets along wonderfully with people (including children), cats, and other dogs! Mini's rescuer summarizes her by saying: "Goofy, great natured, and very easy to care for." This perfect personality makes her an ideal match for both first-time and experienced families. Mini spent her early life chained up and hungry. Now, she is ready to find her forever home—a home that can give her the warmth and love she has always deserved. If you are interested in Mini, please contact us anytime!
