Dorky Slow-beat
Adopt Datou
Boy • 5 years old • Pisces • Brindle • 9kg • French Bulldog
My story
Datou is a French Bulldog with a signature expression, and his tongue, always hanging out, is his most adorable trait. He was found wandering the streets and brought to the Neihu Animal Shelter; at the time, he had no microchip, so no one knows what this dorky little guy had been through. PACK assessors noticed Datou several times during their visits to the shelter, assuming that such a popular-looking dog would be adopted quickly. Unfortunately, by February 2026, he still hadn't been taken home, so PACK officially brought him back to the PACK Academy. Despite his time as a stray, Datou maintains a laid-back personality—quiet and calm, winning everyone over with his unique, slightly "slow-beat" rhythm. With his bright, tongue-out smile, he is waiting for a forever family that can embrace all his dorkiness and little quirks.
Personality
Datou possesses a charming "dorky" personality with a delightfully slow but funny reaction time. His past experiences as a stray have made him particularly appreciative and easygoing. He is a highly social dog, behaving in an exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic manner toward both strangers and other dogs. He possesses high energy and excellent adaptability. He is emotionally stable, showing no tendencies toward barking or aggression—a natural "joy spreader."
