The organization is called Ocean Dog Rescue. It's a small grass-roots organization that is comprised of individual rescuers. Hopefully the link works, these are the dogs that are up for adoption through them. http://www.petfinder.com/shelterSear...helterid=BC170

They've rescued and adopted out several former puppy-mill dogs. They've done well in their new homes with some understanding and patience.

I would imagine these dogs are unsocialized and guaranteed to not be housebroken, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to learn.

Of the 500 or so dogs, the rescuers will primarily only take dogs that are hopefully adoptable. I've found that a lot of the dogs from Taiwan are not well socialized. The rescuers do what they can, but with sometimes 100+ dogs in their care, they can't have one on one attention that they deserve. Most do not know how to walk on leashes because they simply haven't been walked regularly.

But again, it doesn't mean they can't learn, and of the 150+ dogs that have been adopted in the last 18 months, only 1 have been returned and that was because the man of the household was not attuned to his needs (firm hand as opposed to positive reinforcement).

I believe if you are generous enough to make a donation, there is a button on the site to contribute. In case the above link doesn't work, try this one

Thank you all for caring
