This is TuDou.

He was rescued after being found hobbling along the side of a very dangerous road in a very poorly state. He was covered in ticks and extremely thin - literally skin and bones. He had a microchip, but when taken to his owner, it was obvious that neither was glad to see the other. The owner said that TuDou had run away a week ago. TuDou, however, could hardly walk and, at the time, was not even able to step up or down a kerb.

TuDou has been treated for the ticks as well as the blood disease he got from them. He is now putting on weight and is much more agile; in fact, he insisted on coming on our daily 45-minute walks with the other dogs, and, although slower - particularly on hills - he manages to keep up, happily wagging his tail as he goes.

TuDou is extremely well-behaved. He never barks (I don’t think he can), never chews anything, never snaps, is cheap to feed and easy as pie to walk. He loves company but is happy by himself, as he mostly sleeps. He is housebroken and neutered, and believed to be only three years old, but he does seem like an old man.
All he needs is a nice easy walk once or twice a day (though three bathroom breaks, please) and someone to rub and scratch him, as his elongated frame and short limbs mean he can’t do that himself.
He comes when called, is fine with cats, and is the kind of dog you’ll hardly know is there. If you live above ground floor, you may have to carry him up and down some of the stairs, as they really are tricky for him - though he gets better and better at that every day.
TuDou is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and I do ask for a donation to cover those expenses.
If you would like to give TuDou a lifelong, loving home, or even temporary foster care until that home comes, please contact me today via PM, by e-mail at sean@taiwanspca.org, or call me on 0920 620 109.
Thank you!
