Daisy's a sweetie! Why are dogs in Taiwan adopted to Canada? Seems like quite a schlep for the pooches. Is there a shortage of stray dogs in Vancouver?

no, we have loads of homeless dogs, too. And people do ask me why I'm getting one from Taiwan when there are so many who need homes here. I guess my answer to that is for the most part dogs here in shelters and foster homes are treated humanely. Kennels certainly aren't the best place for dogs, but at least they're not mistreated.

Over in Taiwan, they don't treat animals all that well. Larissa's story is just one. Most dogs that end up in shelters there only get a week's lease and if nobody adopts them, they're euthanized in the most horrible way: electrocution, drowning, or just plain starvation. I don't know, all their dogs' stories just break my heart so I got involved with volunteering with them, helping them at the airport when they fly in. It's great to see the adoptive families waiting so excitedly and meeting them for the first time.
