Volunteer Feedback

I came to Chiang Mai in December 2009 and it was my first time in Thailand. I was amazed to see so many street dogs. And because I love dogs very much and had never seen this many street dogs before in my life, I was really overwhelmed and I didn’t really know how to [...]

Whenever I read about His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand’s compassion towards stray dogs it always warms my heart. I felt compelled today to share this with you and especially his personal and wonderful comments regarding a stray street dog’s special qualities.

Many of you may already know that His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of [...]

Feedback from supporters

A while back, Paul Thusius volunteered at the shelter.
Today, he is raising awareness of Care for Dogs through his website Asia Charities and intends to donate money to Care for Dogs based upon sales made from that site.

Thanks Paul, your support is greatly appreciated.

Vet Trips

These 2 dogs have a little in common. They both have massive head injuries on their right side and both are in a serious condition.

But that’s as far as the similarity goes.
The white coloured girl called Moi, was reported to us as having been hit by a car that morning. From the state of [...]

TvT

We see so may dogs suffering with this condition and feel we need to discuss it more and let people know how important it is to treat.
For nearly 3 years now, Care for Dogs has routinely treated approximately 10 dogs on a weekly basis for Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TvT).
Dogs don’t catch this at the shelter. [...]

Shelter

Feeding, medicating, cleaning and maintaining are all second nature to any true dog lover and with over 150 dogs at the shelter right now, our team have those skills tested fully.
In addition, we need to be able to catch and handle some not so easy ones and on top of all that, we need to [...]

These folks have [...]

Adoption Follow Ups

I want to find someone who can do the adoption follow up visits once a week, since they are so crucial, as you might understand now.

So please, anybody who is interested in helping the shelter team, whose team members are very, very busy with lots of equally important work regarding the well being of the dogs, please don’t hesitate to contact them and offer your help for 3-4 hours (one evening) per week. In doing the adoption follow up visits, you would fulfill a very important part in the care for dogs’ team work for the dogs!
