Pets Are Family, So He Built Them a Temple

Taiwan's first temple for pets · Dadaocheng, Taipei

Our founder has always treated pets as family. When the family's old dog suddenly fell seriously ill, he made a vow: to build a temple that would look after more pets, and give pet parents somewhere to find peace in their hardest moments.

Meet the founder

A Temple Made with Pets in Mind

Pets dislike smoke and noise, and parents worry about things going wrong on an outing. We've thought these worries through for you.

No incense or joss paper indoors

Each day the temple lights a stick of incense on everyone's behalf. When you and your pet arrive, simply put your palms together and make your wish.

No firecrackers, gongs or drums

A quiet temple where even nervous pets can settle in. Keep them on a leash and in a belly band, and come in together.

Blessings alongside medical care

Baosheng Dadi was a physician in his lifetime. If your pet is unwell, please see a vet first.

Our Deities

On the first floor is our main deity, Baosheng Dadi, with the Black Tiger Lord beneath the altar. The second floor is home to Guanyin, Samantabhadra and Manjushri; the third, to the Medicine Buddha and Ksitigarbha. Whatever your pet is going through, there's a deity to talk to.

主子一定要到場嗎？家人來，也能替寶貝祈福

有家長留言問：「人到可以嗎？還是主子需要在場？」答案是：可以，主子不用到。很多主子一進外出籠，就開始全力抗議，我們都懂。家人來宮裡，向神明說說寶貝的名字和狀況，一樣能替他祈福。貓展那幾天，也有家長帶著寶貝的照片來找虎爺。台中的貓咪阿咪，也是家人遠距替他求的符。住得遠的，也可以線上點燈：在官網選好燈，宮裡替寶貝點上，從點上那天起亮一整年。如果寶貝願意出門，那就更好玩了：在寵佑宮，毛孩可以自己擲筊。用肉球。

9 歲的松鼠發寶，鼠媽只求他不要再痛

前幾天，寵佑宮來了一位 9 歲的長輩。他是一隻赤腹松鼠，叫發寶。就是在大安森林公園，常看到在樹上跑來跑去的那種。鼠媽特地帶著他，從桃園大溪來到大稻埕，家裡的四隻貓咪，也一起結了緣。發寶生病了。那天，鼠媽沒有求他健康，只求他不要再痛、離苦得樂。鼠媽說，松鼠能陪我們的時間，比貓狗還短。她最放不下的，是發寶在受苦。隔天，鼠媽傳來訊息：「感謝神明保佑，發寶離苦得樂了。」她說改天會再來答謝，也要用發寶的名義，贊助建廟。我們一直以為，來拜拜就是求健康、求長壽。那天才懂，有一種愛，是只求他不要再痛。謝謝鼠媽，願意跟我們分享這段路。發寶，謝謝你陪媽媽走了 9 年。在那邊，不會再痛了。不管寶貝是松鼠、兔子、鳥、還是蛇，有放不下的心事，都可以來寵佑宮，說給神明聽。

生病的喵現在能飛簷走壁：看醫生，也別忘了祈福

有位家長在留言裡寫：「現在都可以飛簷走壁了。」說的是家裡那隻喵。他生過一場病，現在身體好轉了。家長說，這是保生大帝的庇佑。但接著寫的那句話，我們很想讓更多人看到：「喵主子生病不要忽略醫療。但冥冥中的庇佑也不可少。」保生大帝生前，就是一位醫生。寵佑宮的保生大帝，左手抱貓、右手摸狗。謝謝你願意把喵的好消息說出來。

Building a Hundred-Year Temple in Yilan, Together
