MessageJerry is old and we do have trouble putting weight on her, though for an old dog, it is better not to strain the heart with excess weight.

Brother is on the thin side. We don't want him to get a fat belly, as one leg is dislocated and the other recovering from a fracture and infection. He has been on antibiotics for a month, which gives him diarrhea, which makes it difficlut to put on weight.

One problem we have recently eradicated is volunteers trying to fill the thinner dogs up with treats. This almost always gives them diarrhea, which means the day's meal was wasted. It also means they have to be fasted for a day and take diarrhea medicine for two days, with a gradual increase in food intake over the coming days. So, by trying to fatten the dogs up, several of our volunteers have in fact been making them thinner. It is far better to ask one of the staff here if you think a dog is thin.

If you check the following website, you can get an idea of ideal weights for dogs:

MessageHi, helper.

First fo all, many thanks for coming to help out at our holding centre; this is very much appreciated by us and the dogs.

Now, to address your comments about the thin dogs I would need to know which dogs you are talking about. Several of our dogs are on the thin side for varying reasons:

Charly, the German shepherd, looks on the thin side because he has been shaved recently, but if you look at ideal weights for German shepherds, at 34.5 kg, Charly's weight is ideal.

Sam and Mister are 'wiry' - that is, they are lean and muscular, probably as a result of being quite nervous dogs. Sam was fostered for several months and, try as he might, Sam's fosterer was unable to get Sam to put on any weight, In fact, he has put on some weight since returning to the holding centre.

Ariel, the dog in the wheelchair, like Sugar, looks very boney around the bottom of her ribs. This is because she has muscle atrophy as a result of her accident. We try to put weight on her, but it all goes to her tummy, which makes it difficult for her to move around.

Elvis and Jake, the two lmedium-sized thre-legged dogs, are pretty close to ideal weight, though people say they are thin. We prefer to keep them on the light side, as they only have one leg to bear the bulk of their weight (not so much a problem for dogs with a back leg missing).

MessageI hv helped at yr place in Shilin a few times & I wanna tell you that I think the dogs are not getting fed enough. Some are more thinner now than they were when I first meet them.

Also, they do not all look healthy. Their fur is not nice n shiny. Maybe just feeding meat to them isn't good enough. Some fight but yr dogs aren't kept very seperate. Maybe they fight cos their hungry?

When I was a student I work b4 in shelter in Canada which was v. well run. The dogs get fed am & pm.

More efforts need to be made to find yr dogs homes. They are with you for too long and do not get good manners living there.

Please read my message and take my advices.

Messagethere are way too many dogs in taiwan who have been abused and it's very hard for anyone to help out because there are just too many. the ppl who did this and to other animals out there should be treated the same way they treated the animals just to feel how it's like. these animals are so helpless.. the thought of it makes me cry. i feel so sorry for them and only wish to help.

laz looks great thanks to you. i'm sure he's very very thankful to you for saving him. thank you for saving him.

my friend and i will write a letter to a global organisation to get help or at least something, and get more ppl to know about issues as big as these.

in the meantime, please keep helping these poor animals. if each one of us helped at least one, it would make a huge difference.

MessageHello!
I'm glad to know this site but also surpriced that it
is not hold by Taiwanese ourselves, we should concern more with the problems like these(v_v)"

I also wonder that your chinese web page are not working well, too. You may aplly a blog in chinese for free, and it well help for people to get know with this orgnization,and they will spread your ideals and efforts by trackback your articles on the blog.

My grandpa has four pools used to raise shrimps in ILan, the area is about 2500 meter squares
,and wasted for few yours, I'd like to make it useful again and prefer to make it like an animal & nature park, attractd people visiting here and take the pet they like home. If you need a place to keep
stray animals, I may persuade my family to lent-or rent the land with less paid as possible as I can.
Even if you don't have the plan, please provide me the way to contact other groups which working in Ilan, thank you very much.

MessageGreat work Sean~!!
I'm really glad finally there is someone willing to stand up to face the issues of the stray dogs/cats phenomenon in Taiwan. I am a Taiwanese myself and it often breaks my heart to see all the poor creatures running around the street sometimes with crippled legs and what not..~ smilie smilie smilie
I'm currently going to move back to Taipei and is planning to foster a dog in the future, trying to help as much as I can. (I am a recent graduate myself so foster or volunteer is what I can do best for now). I will contact your website again once I land in Taiwan. Really appreciate all your wonderful efforts~~!!
all the best!!!!! smilie smilie smilie

MessageWell well well !! Good news that all of you are busy ! Really glad the dream is being realised.
It was far more easier to reach out to an organisation to reach out to the animals, I am having a bit of a trouble contacting the local NGO ( there is only 1 for dogs here !!!! ).

Vilasini and I are doing fine and hv almost settled down.

So lets hope things are rocking in the coming days .. and write in at my email ID or call me on +971 50 483 2081.

I simply loved this smiley so I am going to put it here ..... smilie
