Hi my name is Elvis and I have the opportunity to go to the Netherlands.
I’m originally from Taiwan and was from very young wondering around the streets and beaches of Taipei. However, one day I was walking around minding my own business when I got my leg caught in a terrible contraption called a Gin Trap. This caused me a great deal of pain and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily a fantastic volunteer of Animalstaiwan saw me with the thing stuck on my leg and caught me. I was immediately taken to the hospital where it was decided that it would be much better for me if the leg was amputated. They didn’t have much hope for me as I was very thin and weak from the loss of blood and trauma. But I surprised everyone and now I’m walking around on 3 legs, bright, healthy and loving life.
I know what you are thinking, “Ahhhh poor thing!”, but don’t. I’m perfectly happy. I’m a very healthy dog and most of the time I don’t even realize I’m missing a leg.
I’m a very friendly guy. I love to get attention from people and I never show aggression. I walk very well on the lead and I often take the protector role when there is a new dog introduced to our centre who might need a little encouragement.Due to my three legs, however, I can’t have too much strenuous exercise as my heart has to work a lot harder than a four-legged dog does. So nice easy walks around the flat lands of the Netherlands would suit me fine.
