Tiny the Rottweiler was abandoned on the streets of Taiwan, emaciated and barely skin and bones. His suffering didn’t end there though. He eventually wound up at a kill-shelter, where he would have been euthanized if it wasn’t for British expat Sean McCormack, who took him.
Tiny’s suffering finally came to an end as he was brought to The Sanctuary Taiwan, a local animal rescue group founded by McCormack. Here, Tiny received the medical attention he needed for his mange, a skin condition leaving him hairless with lesions and cuts throughout his body. He also got the TLC he so desperately needed to cure his “no hope’” mentality.
This story goes to show that any animal can recover from near death, with a little love, care, and medical attention within the right hands.
Although Tiny the Rottweiler has found his forever home, the organization that helped him desperately needs your help. The Sanctuary’s current landlady is looking to sell the property and the estimated 200 animals living on the land are facing an uncertain future. With less than two weeks to find a suitable location for the rescued animals, McCormack and his organization are asking for kind donors to help with the relocation. You can send contributions directly to The Sanctuary here or send some love to the man who saved Tiny and rescued 200 animals and more here.
“We’re looking to buy a beautiful 2.5-acre site to give our dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, squirrels, pigeons, hedgehog, budgerigar, and, very soon, deer a permanent happy home,” McCormack said.

Thank you very much for sharing Tiny\’s amazing story! He\’s a very happy, healthy, and BIG dog now, thanks to our vet and kind supporters.
The Sanctuary, which rescued Tiny and turned his life around, is being forced to move, so we\’re turning it into a huge positive and building an even bigger and better place for our 200 rescued animals. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Please could you help us share the crowd-sourcing campaign to MAKE THIS HAPPEN? It\’s very urgent, and 200 once-suffering dogs are counting on your support!

Thank you in advance. Big licks from Tiny\’s fellow rescue buddies!
Wow. What a transformation. And what a beautiful dog and man. Cant believe Tiny is the same dog he looks amazing what an amazing story of hope and compassion. I love rotties they get such a bad press they dont deserve at all. Its just unfortunate for them in the uk that they are popular with the wrong types of people :( They are gentle elegant dogs. So glad Tiny was saved and found this wonderful sanctuary. I have two rescue dogs both saved from pounds who wouldve been put to sleep if not rescue. My girl Bella is an english staffordshire bull terrier and my boy we believe is an english staffordshire terrier cross rottie as his shape his height and also his beautiful black rottie tail. I have to second Carmels comments. STOP BREEDING DOGS TO DIE. There are so many older animals in pounds and shelters like Tiny was who are the result of a world who puts money before compassion and not every dog finds their hero like Tiny did. Spaying and neuturing and helping older animals is a global movement that should be embraced the world over xx
How wonderful I’m so thankful he was rescued and loved!!!
