The sensible big guy
Adopt Heido
Boy • 2 years old • Aquarius • Black • 18kg • Mixed Breed
My story
Heido has a thrilling experience. In fall of 2022, he was rescued in the suburb of Taitung mountain area. He was dragged, bleeding, and his butt was full of bite marks. Locals reported that he was attacked by wild boars. Fortunately, he was friendly to humans and accepted the treatment. He is now living in the foster home, learning practices in home environments and keeps progressing!
Personality
Heido likes to be around humans and can get close to people quickly.However, it takes a while for him to warm up to other dogs. When meeting other dogs for the first time, he easily gets into alert mode.

Quite peaceful in general, but he will lose his control when seeing food or ready to go out.

Role
