It’s common knowledge that Taiwan has many abandoned, homeless and abused dogs, but did you know that many of them are given better lives – “forever homes” – in other countries? One organization helping Taiwan’s strays settle in homes abroad is Mary’s Doggies.
It was founded by Mary Choi. She was afraid of dogs when she was growing up and didn’t have a chance to learn to love and respect them. That changed when she met her husband and he brought a puppy named Chester into their lives. She grew to love Chester and later began rescuing abandoned dogs she found in the mountainous area where she lived. After rescuing the dogs, she and volunteers at the organization she set up, Mary's Doggies, rehabilitated, trained and re-homed them.
In 2012, she began sending dogs abroad to their adoptive families and over the years, she has sent nearly 2,000 to countries including the U.S., Canada, Holland and Germany.
Because of the COVID-19 travel restrictions, however, she has been unable to find enough flights or passengers to accompany the dogs, so many of them have not been able to go abroad to be with their families.
Take a look at the lucky few who were able to fly to their new homes recently. You can contact Mary’s Doggies at its website (www.marysdoggies.org) or Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/marysdoggies/) if you would like to help.
