Little Orphan Annie is looking for a good home. She is friendly and gentle. She loves to play, shake hands, and nuzzle for cuddles. Very petite and cottony, perfect for one of her favorite activities: curling up on clothes left on the floor and watching movies with friends. Other favorites include: meeting new people and dogs, playing in the park, and helping wash dishes (with her tounge of course) fixed, vaccinated, 8kg, and ready to move in with you! Waiting to be the lucky dog you take home!

Annie is from XiaoLiuCho island off the south-east coast of Taiwan. The owner of a campground asked his staff to put her in a plastic bag and throw her over a cliff. :s Gladly, some good folks were there to save her from a certain death.

Out the owner.
We don’t know who the owner of the dog was. It was a stray living on the island. …
I think he meant the owner of the campsite.

I know exactly which one it is. Bastard (him, not you).
Hi
This is Kate, I am the one that found and is fostering Annie.
There seems to be some debate about her origins. So maybe I can give some more information about her history.
I was told by the night staff at the cabin resort that people vacationed there (had a BBQ, whatever) and left her there when they went home (back to KHH?). She had her babies a week after. (So it seems to me that this was premeditated. Leave your dog on an island, and you’re sure it won’t come back).
Her babies lived for about 2 or 3 weeks. And thats when we came.
When we first saw her, she was very thin (the tinnest I have ever seen, and I’ve been here for some years -long enough to see some pretty sick dogs). She had no milk in her teats. And she was very obviously a house dog: house trained, shakes hands, nuzzles for attention, curls up on the most comfortable spot on the blankets, and was deathly afraid of the street dogs outside of the resort area. She did not know how to hunt or forrage for food-especially because it was winter and not many visitors. And the girls working there were told not to feed her (they would sneak her food when they knew the boss wouldn’t find out).
From my very remedial Chinese, I think I understood that the girls working there tried to get Annie to leave the site instead of be killed. But she was too afraid to get passed the dogs in people’s yards that are guarding their property. So she couln’t leave. This put the girls in a very bad sutuation, they of course felt that they needed to do what their boss was telling them to do, but didn’t want to do it and knew it was wrong. I think that is a very hard situation for a Chinese employee.
So we took her hoping we could find her a good home (we have 2 dogs already and not able to keep a third).
Once we got her back, and she had been eating for 3 days, her milk came in again. Which really makes me think that we were right in the assumption that she was not getting enough nutrients to keep her babies alive.
It has been almost 2 weeks now, and she is getting much plumper (gained almost 2kg- now at 7.5kg), fluffier, and healthier. She has gotten her shots, and is waiting to get fixed. Her teats are almost completely gone, and she is acting like a puppy–running, prancing, playing, etc.
She goes out to the park about 4-5 times a day and is always playing with whatever dogs are out and about. She even spent 2 hours at my old school playing with the kids (a very good accomplishment for any dog, especially one that has been through all of this).
She is very chill at home: hangs out on a dog bed, clothes left on the floor, or designated dog couches. She curls up to you and cuddles whenever you get on the floor, and certianly has the fine art of begging down (I know, I know bad habbit).
Well, that’s about all I can think to tell anyone about her. If anyone wants any more info. please feel free to let me know.

oh, we did check for a microchip. that would be great to bring her back to the people who abandoned her. ‘here’s your dog you accidently left on an island when she just about to have babies. i’m sure you are so relieved to have her back’
Annie found a home! Annie found a home!
Great work, Kate and Luke!

That’s good to hear! They should post up here how they did it.
We should maybe have a thread all about ways of finding homes for companion animals, and find out which methids are the most succesful.
Anyway, good news on the rehoming. :bravo:
That’s a good idea. An acquaintance of mine recently rescued a pregnant golden retriever that promptly gave birth to 10 pups. She’s managed to rehome ALL of them in very short order and is fairly sure the mother will also be rehomed very soon. That’s a lot of re-homing!
Re-homing stories would be useful.
