One of the first things you’ll notice about Thailand are the dogs; often hungry, sick, frightened, and lonely, eagerly digging through trash. There are thousands of them, roaming through the streets or dumped at temples - in need of food, medical assistance, shelter, care, and play. But they get none of that. Instead, they get shooed away. At best ignored, at worse killed, poisoned or sometimes eaten. As we petted their bony bodies and fell in love with their hugs, we felt we had to help. Everyday we go out and look for dogs that are in need of care. And, everyday, we find them.

Based in Chiang Mai, we organize spaying (sterilizations) and medical care and vaccinate and feed them. We learned, through working with vets, how to give injections for mange, how to recognize early symptoms of diseases, and how to give first aid for poisoned dogs. Our last step being to find nurturing homes for them. We love taking care of these beautiful creatures and – though experiencing sad situations - we also get so much joy in return.
