Meet Miru! Miru is an adorable 1 year old black Formosan mountain dog. This little guy’s previous owner owned a orchard ranch up in the mountains. They tied Miru there to “guard” the property. Miru was chained there day and night, rain or shine with no shelter to go. Because the owner only goes up the mountain occasionally, Miru would only get food every once in a while and no clean water. His bucket of water is mostly collected muddy rain water.
When rescuers found out about him and went to find him, he was just sitting there watching them with his tail wagging. They gave him food and he scarfed down. He was severely emaciated, mostly skin and bones when first rescued. His average weight was suppose to be around 30lbs but he was only half of his weight.
Miru has since been living with his rescuer at her property with many other rescue dogs. He has fully gained back his weight and is a healthy and happy guy! Miru is good with people and dogs, however because of his past he has resource guarding with other dogs. He was cat tested and unfortunately needs a home with no cats. He’s great with kids and is currently learning potty training and leash training.
We are looking for a home who understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog as a member of the family. Miru is patiently waiting!
