I know I’ve mentioned Wolfie numerous times, as I’m definitely a proud mama! But I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of how I met her.
For those of you who don’t know me personally, I come to Thailand on a tourist visa so have to renew it every month. As my heart is also [...]

I stopped by one of the temples, where we’d started spaying dogs, on my way to one of the Karen Hilltribes for the weekend, to spend time with friends and their families.
I checked on the dogs that had been spayed two weeks prior and removed the stitches. After rubbing and patting the dogs all too [...]

Whilst some volunteers focus their tireless efforts on the activities involved in operating the Care for Dogs shelter, others pull their hair out about funding and promotion, whilst some run around taking dogs to vets, catching dogs to be treated, there are others that help in an equally important and crucial way.
One such volunteer is [...]

You may recall the sad story about Yeung, the poor dog that had lived with fight wounds for a year and although welcomed at the Government school, his smell was not.
Back in early August we blow darted Yeung and eventually managed to get him treatment for the injuries. Old flesh was being actively eaten by [...]

Just to recap, due to the local authorities in Hua Hin Thailand pressuring Head Rock Dogs to close their dog rescue shelter facilities down, they are desperately struggling to find homes for 60 dogs. In the last couple of months, they have reduced these numbers from over 100.
Head Rock Dogs are doing all they can [...]

Care for Dogs were contacted a while back by the volunteers at Hua Hin Dog Rescue, now operating under the banner of Head Rock Dogs with a plea to help them find homes for, or in some way assist them with the daunting task of finding homes for over 100 dogs at their shelter in [...]

The little fluffy dog stood in the middle of the highway that leads from Mae Joe to Chiang Mai. While driving past, I noted her with one eye, and suddenly had a strange feeling - something was wrong. You see a lot dogs along the highways, in bustling streets, even sleeping on the road, and [...]

Puppies from a place we visited last week, which to most people would be called a rubbish dump but to the folks who live there, it’s their home, had so many dogs and so many puppies.

We came away with 16, we think from 3 litters and there were still 7 more left from another [...]

This story is a little upsetting as the title suggests. But there is a happier outlook for them and we can assure you, they are now in a better place than they were.
In September 2007, the concerned children of an old lady that had recently passed away, contacted Care for Dogs. They explained about their [...]

Also along on today’s trip was one of the 14 dogs rescued from living their lives in boxes.

Phuket, a paradise on earth, the pearl of the Andaman Sea, a tropical paradise,
Not for those dogs who live here on the streets and beaches of Phuket, in a new local government sanctioned operation, dogs that are deemed to be stray are being darted and tranquilized by untrained garbage disposal employees and then dumped in [...]

Yeung lives at the Government School, right next to the 700 year stadium on the canal road in Chiang Mai.
A year ago we are told, he got into a scrap with another dog and ended up losing a claw from his front left foot and since then has become smelly, unable to be touched let [...]

Care for Dogs receives some amazing calls from people in & around Chiang Mai and today we received just one of those.
Wat Suan Dok is a famous temple which is quite a busy place because of the number of monks coming & going to studies and people attending various courses there too.
We have previously been [...]

Today I visited a temple that I call into from time to time, to look at the dog population, offer medication and sometimes drop off a bag of food to the monk living there. On this occasion Lek, another volunteer with Care for Dogs came along too.
I started going to this temple because of a [...]

This blog entry is a story about a very special dog, rescued by Care for Dogs 11 February 2007.
In early 2007, an American tourist had visited the “Elephant Conservation Center” in Lampang, where they put on shows of elephants doing tricks and attract many tourists to look at the performing pachyderms when she happened upon [...]
