Welcome to Animals Ilan Resource! Please read on below the photo!...
New: * New rescue: Diego rescued a young puppy from the street this evening; someone dropped her into a busy intersection and she would have been crushed had he not run out into the traffic to help her. The puppy, "Little H," is in need of a foster home or a real home. Please see her photos! Dec. 12, 2011 * Verlore has found a home and will be traveling to them on Monday, Dec. 19th! Verlore has been Cami's foster dog for almost a year; now little Lore has finally found her perfect family. We love you Verlore! Dec. 12, 2011 * January is the next government-shelter-sponsored dog microchipping/vaccination fair at 文化中心 (WenHua ZhongXin) in Yilan City from 10 am to 3 pm. The 2012 schedule isn't out yet; wait for details as to the date: it should be the second Saturday in January. Great deals on microchip registration are to be had! Read all the details on the Deals page in the Responsibility (pet care) section!! Dec. 2011 Old News: * Foster puppy!: Shadow the little black puppy was rescued and by a kind Yilan family. They decided to foster Shadow and they've been taking great care of her. Now she's ready to find her forever home! Check out Shadow's cute photo and read a little more about her! * Happy New Year! It's the Year of the Rabbit! February 2011 * Adoption!: Chase is happily esconced in his new home in Washington State, and he's loving life with his new family! December 2010 * Moonbeam was rescued on Moon Festival 2010. Moonbeam was found wandering out by Taiya Bridge in desperate need of a vet, so Abbie brought her home. Check out her amazing before and after photos! She'll be available for adoption when her wounds heal. * Verlore was rescued. She's been through a tough time and is in need of a good home! Jody and Cami found her by ChingShui beach; Cami's fostering her now. She's the sweetest ever! Please see her photos and read all about her in the "Adoptable" section. * In Taiwan, there's a superstition that says that owning two dogs is bad luck... We beg to differ! Two dogs are better than one! Read a new essay from Taiwan about the joys of two dogs under Reason and Rhymes! And read another essay on the same subject from Nevada! Please feel free to contribute your own "2 dogs are better than one" story (send it to me via mailform)! * Seven has been adopted! Thanks to Judy of Walkin the Bark Rescue in California for saving him when he needed help and for finding him a great foster home... and thanks to Robin for being such a wonderful foster mom for Seven! See 7's page in the adopted section for his story and handsome photos! * Read: "A Dog's Last Will" in the "Reason and Rhymes" section. * Regarding the name change: A.I.R. used to stand for "Animals Ilan Rescue," but with the goal of concentrating more more of A.I.R.'s energy and resources on helping to solve the stray animal problem here in Yilan County, (so that one day "rescuing" will no longer even be necessary!!), Abbie changed A.I.R.'s name to Animals Ilan Resource. The R. in A.I.R. still stands for Rescue (find tips on what to do if you've found a stray here!), and also stands for Responsibility (pet care advice), Reality (CNR: catch, neuter, return), Revolution (how we can change the way people think about and treat animals!), Rehoming (adopting stray animals), Rights (Taiwan's animal protection laws), Reason and Rhymes (essays and poetry), Remarkable (inspiring tales), and Results (how you can help)! Past: * Seven and Dash (now Clyde!) and Tux (now Lucky!) flew to the US at the end of April 2010! Thanks so much to Maggie of ARTT (Animal Rescue Team Taiwan) for helping us find a courier for these lucky little pups! Seven wound up in a foster home in California, and Tux and Dash were adopted together into a lovely home, and are now known as Lucky and Clyde! * Great event!! On Saturday, April 10, from 10am to 3pm, Humane Luodong held an exciting event alongside the Yilan County Animal Shelter's monthly event. Humane Luodong had games and a dog walk, and the government shelter provided great deals on rabies vaccinations and microchipping. Both groups brought out some of their own sweet adoptable animals. See the events section for more information on both groups, and for links to photos of the event. * CNR: Early in June, Jody took it upon himself to help CNR a sweet stray dog in his neighborhood. Sandia the dog would have been in a lot of trouble had J. not stepped in and helped her out. A.I.R. paid for her to be spayed, and then vaccinated and microchipped when her stitches came out. Thanks to J. for going the extra mile for a stray dog. Thanks to all who've donated money to our CNR program. If know of a stray that would be a good candidate for CNR, please let me know via mailform. * New photos:! Fun photos from last month's Fresh AIR in the Park event (Sunday, March 7, 2010, in the Luodong Sports Park) can now be viewed under the Fresh AIR page in the Revolution: Education section. * Adoptions!: Spot (now Larry!) and Dot (now Ava!) flew to the US on March 2 to join their forever families! And here in Ilan County, tiger striped brothers Zuozu and Huya (aka Stripe) were adopted together just in time for the Year of the Tiger; and Roxy and Evangeline have both been adopted to super loving homes here as well. See their pages for their photos and stories! * Rescue: Victor (named for the trap that was clamped down on his paw) was rescued by Cami on the night of January 17th; the trap is off and he's doing great and he's now happily esconced in a great home! * Show!: Shanny B. recently created a lovely video show telling the story of her rescue dog Eva who turned out to be with pup!! See the show: "Evange-Love"! * Event: Humane Luodong and the Yilan County Shelter jointly held an amazing AntiAbandonment, ProMicrochippping Event: January 9, 2010. Humane Luodong organized a raffle and a kids' art contest, and brought in a trainer for a dog show and 3 free dog training sessions; the Shelter brought animals available for adoption and offered an amazing break on microchip registration. It was a huge success! Read more details on the event and on Humane Luodong under Events. Noteworthy: * If you've found a stray and you don't know what to do, please find a discussion of all possible options under the Rescue section. * If you love animals and miss the companionship of a pet, but can't commit to keeping a long-term pet at this time, please check out our On-Call Foster Program. * View lovely adoptable animals who are in need of good homes in the Rehoming section! See some of our happily adopted animals there too! * If you want to help with A.I.R.'s mission, see the Results section. A.I.R. needs lots of manpower help on a wide range of specific projects, and monetary donations (whether you'd like them to go towards CNR or education or just towards foster animal care) are incredibly helpful too. * Read an informative article from 2000 if you'd like to know more about Taiwan's stray animal situation. * Read fun and thought-provoking poetry and essays under Reason and Rhymes. * People all across Taiwan are doing amazing work to help this island's animals. Find links to other groups in Taiwan in the Get Involved section. About A.I.R.: A.I.R. is located in Yilan County, Taiwan. We promote responsible pet ownership through education that:
