Lulu is young that has not yet reaches one year old. However, she was abandoned by two owners already. The first owner bought Lulu so she can be a companion to his father, but the father got ill and was hospitalized. As there was no one available to take care of Lulu, the owner surrendered her to the pet store, and asked the store owner to put her for adoption.Lulu was later adopted by a young couple, and she was kept in the boyfriend’s house. Unfortunately, the couple broke up in just a few months. The boyfriend did not want to keep Lulu anymore, and ask the girl to take care of her. However, the girlfriend’s family was never informed of the existence of Lulu, and the family was never a dog lover. As there was no way for Lulu to be kept in the girlfriend house, she found a fee-based foster home to board Lulu. Three months passed by, the girlfriend told the foster home that she can no longer pay for the boarding fee. She would like to dump Lulu on the street or surrender her to a public shelter where the dogs are put to sleep after 7 days if no one adopts them.
Because Ben was placed in the same foster home as Lulu, we heard of Lulu’s heart felt story. A young kid like Lulu was neglected twice by her owners. We are very angry at the owners’ actions – just giving away pets in a heart beat. However, we also know if we turn our backs, the one that’s going to suffer was Lulu. Lulu cannot decide her own destiny nor can’t she help herself. Therefore, we have decided to support Lulu until she found a home that would never abandon her.
Lulu is young and active. Her temperament has not yet stabilized and she is not completely housebroken yet. However, we cannot blame her as she has changed several homes and she received very little attention previously. An active (would jump on people) and not yet house broken dog like Lulu, we are afraid of letting her be adopted out to family in Taiwan. Most Taiwanese do not have enough patience as well as love towards pets. Sad to say, lots of pet owners in Taiwan are easily bored and would treat pets as toys, not lives. That’s why we see pets were abandoned in the shelters or roaming on the streets all the time (with collars still on…). We really don’t have any confidence that the next family in Taiwan would treat Lulu with true hearts and give her a forever home. Therefore, we hope Lulu can find a home in U.S. Not only is the living space here much suitable, but people’s acceptance (tolerance/hearts) towards larger dogs like Lulu is much more. We believe Lulu would have a much brighter, better and happier life in U.S.
