Description of Our Community: Changhua County is located in the western part of Taiwan Island. To its north is Taichung City, to its east is Nantou County and to its south is Yulin County. In the west, Changhua County faces the Taiwan Strait. Changhua has been famous for its fertile soil and therefore it is called "the Granary of Taiwan." Besides, the scenic views of mountains and historical architectures in Changhua are wonderful and attractive. Changhua is also well-known for its local foods. People around Taiwan love to visit Changhua for a taste of the delicious local snacks. All of these attractions make Changhua County a must-see place.

Project Description: Changhua stray dogs’ shelter is situated in Yuanlin town, just at the boundary between Changhua and Nantou. Its location is quite remote with cemetery and landfill right in front of shelter’s entrance. All stray animals in Changhua County will be sent to the shelter. And lost animals will stay there and wait for the owner to reclaim. Caring people can come here and adopt lovely “hairy children”. Stray animals that do not be adopted for 12 days will be euthanized. Many hairy children live as if treading on thin ice. We hope that people can be aware of their existence through our reports, and make it possible for them to find suitable families. Changhua strays’ dog shelter will hold adoption activities in the third Sunday every month and welcome enquiry and support from interested people and friends. Apart from adoption activities, shelter will organize the “One Volunteer Day” event for caring people to look after stray dogs and to owe a great deal to the caring to these hairy children from the mass?
