We love presenting feedback of volunteers, sometimes volunteering for a few days or weeks, scarifying their holidays – Well, if reading what Ulli has to tell the sacrifice seems not to be that big : During summer 2011 I worked for 8 days as a volunteer at Care for Dogs – an enriching experience that [...]

This Saturday was our first visit at Care for Dogs. There were four of us, Oil, Goh , Mink, and me.  We saw a dog sat in the back of the office. He has three normal legs but the fourth is only a tiny stalk of bone. Khun Jum said that he was an owned [...]

As we spoke I could see in Anna’s eyes her recognition of how far she had come. I felt the same way. I’ve seen her tick-pinckin’ skills first hand. She’s a pro. Anna became a valuable part of the team during her 5 week stint the shelter.

This autumn Kim and Im found their way to CfD and for a few weeks become active as volunteers at the shelter. Here what Kim has to tell about that time with us and the doggies: The first time we drove outside the moat to visit Care for Dogs, we arrived to an especially busy [...]

As we always like to give to you some of the experience our volunteers have while they are at Care for Dogs, here some feedback from Neil Murray: During other animal related volunteering work I was doing in Northern Thailand in February, 2010, I learnt of the work of the “Care For Dogs” rescue Centre [...]

This is what Irene has to tell us about her time at Car for Dogs: I really like Chiang Mai and try to visit the city on a regular basis. When there I always make a point of going along to the Care for Dogs Rescue Centre. Every visit I meet more dogs saved from [...]

My name is Michael Würth and I’m volunteering for Care for Dogs for quite a while, usually I try to help from the distance out of Germany doing some support around the web site. But now after more than two years since my last stay it was real time to refresh my hands on experience [...]

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 [...]

Animal welfare, rescue and volunteering seems to bring together a very nice mix of people. At Care for Dogs, we are always pleased to meet new volunteers and enjoy their company, no matter how long or short their stay with us will be. Some volunteers come to us and stay for weeks & months, some [...]

Roxy & Tom are on a mission right now, taking time out to travel Asia and getting stuck in with caring for animals. They chose to stay at a local resort called Nugent Waterside for a week and cycle to the shelter every day to give us some help. As you can see from their [...]

Julia is a dedicated carer of animals and with a desire to help dogs in Thailand, contacted Care for Dogs to see if she could come to Chiang Mai on a holiday, live near the shelter & come to the shelter every day and HELP ! Well you can imagine our response to an offer [...]

This morning a willing volunteer visited the shelter during a stay in Chiang Mai, giving up her time to help out with what ever needed doing. There is always something to be done at the shelter and she immediately got stuck in to a really valuable task. In one of our enclosures, E6, there are [...]

Though I volunteer with Care For Dogs several months at a time, I work at a veterinary clinic in the US the rest of the time. This story ties in lessons learned from both. I walk into the room with hesitation. They told me when I started this job that it never gets easier. There’s [...]

Last Sunday proved that our new booth is a great success with an EXCELLENT result in sales, donations and interest from the public. This will increase adoptions and we’ve already got some new volunteers. Not to mention the positive outcome these extra funds will have in helping the many dogs and cats in Chiang Mai and help fund our many new projects in the planning. We’re always looking for Thai or English speaking volunteers. If you are interested in joining our team at the Sunday Walking Street Market Booth then please contact me at teresa@carefordogs.org
