Several months ago, during a visit from a group of doggy lovers, I was asked if there was an item at the shelter that we couldn’t afford but would love to have and I immediately replied: ‘an electric razor!’ Electric razors are cost-prohibitive in Thailand and because of our limited funds, we could never afford [...]

BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, ADORABLE, MALE DOGS ARE WAITING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES Male dogs are very popular in Thailand – they are regarded as good guard dogs and the owner doesn’t have to be concerned about having unwanted puppies (although all the dogs for adoption at the shelter are sterilized, so if you opt for a [...]

Puppies, puppies, puppies! I love puppies! Puppy kisses, puppy licks, puppy barks, puppy love; it’s all so beautiful! Puppies seem to instantaneously make you care more, love more, forgive more, and nurture more. I understand why people regularly come to us specifically yearning to adopt a puppy; they bring out the best in us!
However, I’m sometimes concerned with what I hear after presenting 8-10 weeks old rescued puppies to families…

Volunteer activities at the shelter reached a new peek. This experience so many people from different countries working together to the benefit of dogs in need was just great.

Just how much work does take place at CfD on a daily basis? They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well it also takes a massive village to run a shelter. Our village of animal lovers just happens to have a fabulous community yard to sit in. Come see for yourself.

Several recent school groups have brought up an interesting question. What do all those dogs eat? All kidding aside however, when the dog food delivery truck arrives at the shelter, people get out of its way.
