Rescue Story

As a stray puppy, Kent was captured to a killing pound in Taiwan. He had trichocryptosis at the time with no fur left on his skin. After being rescued and underwent treatment, Kent made a full recovery with no relapses. His immune system needs to be monitored by maintaining a proper diet and regular exercise to prevent from recurring episodes. His eyes have different colours: one black and one blue that does not affect his eye vision. Kent’s personality can be described like cotton candy – just so sweet. He loves to be around people. He is looking for a forever loving home where most of the time someone is home.

If you are interested in adopting Kent please fill out an application. We will ask for pictures of your current pets (if any) and your house inside and outside upon receipt of your application.

Please consider Kent, for your new addition. There is a $450 adoption fee (bank deposit and e-transfer only) which goes to help cover only a portion of each dog's medical and transport expenses. A home check will also be required because we do want to be sure that each dog goes to an environment suited to them. Please note that we don't have shelter facility in Canada, so please consider carefully again before this adoption.
