These are the last four gorgeous kittens looking for new homes. All girls, about 8 weeks old, Very playful and sociable. You can take a matching pair, or one of each! Vaccinated de wormed and litter trained. Call me on 0871 891623 or email me here …

They are both very gentle natured, and despite the terrible circumstances we found them in, I believe that they once had very kind and caring owners because they love being with people, all people, and they take new situations in their stride. They were a real hit with local children at our Open Day in June. They walk well on the leash, and obey basic commands in English & Thai. They are keen to please and learn fast.
If you or anyone you know would like to consider adopting these 2 gentle creatures, please contact Ally on 0847 52 52 55 to arrange a visit to the shelter or send us an email

Rescue of a dog is not always because the dog is injured, often it is in danger.

Zoe, a short legged black dog was rescued to the shelter for her own safety as well as the young pups she was about to give birth to.

A couple of weeks ago, Care for Dogs went to a hotel car park in Chiang Mai to help the staff there to find homes for several puppies that were likely to join the homeless dog population in Chiang Mai. Little did we know we would also find a pregnant dog, due to give birth at any time.

This morning, Zoe gave birth to 3 healthy pups and as you can see in the photo, she is a very proud Mother.

My name is Malee. I am a very pretty 1 to 2 year old female, with dark soulful eyes and milky coffee coloured fur. I may be little but I have lots of personality and love playing with my friends here at the shelter though I’d love someone to take me home with them. I’m [...]

**Update – Fester made it to the other side of the fence !! He has been adopted **
This poor guy was found tethered to the front gate of the shelter this week.

Yep, unceremoniously dumped, purposely brought to the shelter by the family that wanted rid of him and sadly in a right mess.

No they were not the ones responsible for the punk hair cut, that’s a Care for Dogs short back & sides
