Oh sweet Maria! This little ray of sunshine is such a joy to have around. Although Maria has had a very rough life already living as a street dog, begging and stealing just to stay alive, this happy, trusting, playful 9 month old is grateful to have someone finally care for her. Her survival days are over and she is most thankful and deserving. Maria will do well with a family who will continue to teach her and keep her safe. A family who will not just throw her in the back yard but a family who will continue to give her new experiences and worship her for the loving, gentle, kind soul she is! Maria is a 9 month old, 30 lb Formosan Mtn Dog puppy who has seen more in her short life already than most senior dogs. She is spayed, micro chipped and up to date with her vaccinations. She is still a bit cautious with strangers but warms quickly. Maria is an awesome girl in the house and finds comfort in her open crate. She plays extremely well with her canine buddies of all shapes and size. She is a real pleaser! If you would like more information about her please send your reply with a contact number. Please consider adopting before purchasing a new puppy, Maria is still a puppy! Application/contract, home check, references and adoption fee do apply.

Temperament and behaviour

The Formosan is a high energy, loyal, affectionate, and intelligent breed that learns very quickly. In unfamiliar situations though, they tend to be wary of strangers and sounds, and at times, they can possibly become fear-aggressive. In new situations where the dog is fear-aggressive, it can take a few days before the dog will calm down.

If comfortable and well-trained, the Formosan will be friendly to people and other animals, though they tend to be a bit aloof or suspicious of strangers, once they have bonded with their owner. Once bonded, they are extremely loyal and affectionate to their owners.
