The whole team of Care for Dogs sends a heart felt merry X-mas and a happy new year to all our volunteers, supporters and all the other animal lovers out there who help our animal friends and fellow creatures in need not only this time of the year.

We promise to be there trying to help those doggies and cats in need here in and around Chiang Mai and if you think about good wishes and expectation for next year – have a little thought about Care for Dogs and May be you like to join us in 2012?

If so, just come to us, We’ll be there!

Did you ever notice our very special service ad “Dog Walking Agency” in CfD website’s sidebar and if so, did you click at the link to get more info about it, well may be not, though could be interesting. The service is active and as a prove – here the first story from one of the dog walkers – Sean – giving you an impression how it is (and how it could be for you or your doggies)

We’re always glad to welcome animal lovers at our shelter and have a chance to show our way of trying to help our fellow creatures. Especially happy we’re when our visitors show not only some moral support but become active in their own way, and as a feedback we see their help us by donations [...]

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.

Each morning caretakers from various temples arrive. You can see the happiness and appreciation in their eyes as they unload dogs that they know will be getting the medical care they need.

Care for Dogs has had an influx of puppies! There is something for every dog lover to choose from.
These pups would love to bring warm hearts and cold noses to you over the holidays, throughout the coming New Year and for many years to come.

Learning while giving, that is what volunteering is all about. It is no different at Care for Dogs (CFD) and the same rules apply for both skilled and unskilled (if there is such a thing) volunteers. Everyone has something to contribute. Everyone has something to learn. Two visiting volunteers are currently proving the point quite [...]

A new option is available for people wanting to volunteer at Care for Dogs (CFD). The foundation has joined forces with Cultural Canvas Thailand, an organization dedicated to providing volunteer support, while generating awareness of social issues facing the Chiang Mai community. So, what does this new program mean for Care for Dogs and for [...]

Dogs! Every one of them can amaze us if given half a chance. Those who never discover this magic know not what they are missing in life. Those who turn away from an animal in need are missing a diamond in the rough. Beauty is living proof of this. When I returned to volunteer at [...]

Care for Dogs cofounder Amandine Lecesne has just arrived in Chiang Mai for a three month stay. Amandine has been working in Sacramento, California since her last ‘annual migration’ to CFD. She arrived at the shelter early Wednesday morning without having so much as a rest after her long flight to Thailand. Instead she went [...]

A while back Care for Dogs consolidated their random training of volunteers into a once a week event. Each Thursday morning at 10 potential volunteers may visit the shelter for an in-depth look at ways they can help on-site. This is a great training tool. It provides a chance for people to meet the dogs [...]

Care for Dogs is buzzing with good projects – literally! Power saws have been humming away as our great team of guys at the shelter have been building many wonderful new habitat enrichments (that is nerdy zoologist speak for “cool housing and awesome stuff to play on”) for the dogs. The older bamboo platforms did [...]

There are cynics out there who believe that one day of volunteering cannot make a difference. Obviously they have never attended a Care for Dogs Adoption Fair. It was 10:30 when I arrived. A whirlwind of activity greeted me. In half an hour the Adoption Fair at Chiang Mai’s Airport Central Shopping Plaza would begin. [...]
