Healing Sweetheart
Adopt Xiao Fa
Girl • 1 year old • Sagittarius • Fawn with black mask • 16kg • Mixed Breed
My story
Xiao Fa is a sweet female mixed-breed dog with a touching journey. She was rescued near a factory in Bade, Taoyuan, bearing a limp from a past injury on her left hind leg. Fortunately, her savior took her to a pet hotel for proper care before she passed assessment to join PACK Academy. Despite her previous hardship, Xiao Fa remains exceptionally trusting and affectionate toward humans. She is lively, friendly, and adapts quickly to home life. She walks stably on leash, is potty trained, and gets along well with other dogs. This resilient and sweet girl is eagerly waiting for a loving family with clear rules to welcome her forever!
Personality
Xiao Fa embodies the "ESFJ Provider" personality type, making her a vibrant and talented "Passionate Sweetheart." Highly observant and sharp, she naturally gets along with everyone and loves showering people with affection. Being very food-motivated, she learns quickly and is eager to please during training. Xiao Fa has a strong emotional reliance on humans and a clever side—if given unlimited leeway, she may try to assert control. However, in a structured household with clear boundaries, she reveals her truly stable, sweet, and obedient nature as a loyal follower.
