Driven by customer demand, not only are the dogs begging for it, people are paying money to Care for Dogs Foundation for the services of getting their dogs exercised, out of the house & into a daily routine of walks with happy smiling faces all round as a result! We now have a team of [...]

Another plea for help around a missed dog. Do you know anything about Snowball?

Sometimes the new street dog face around, might be a desperately missed dog like Snowball, so please take a second look at the “lost dog” ads you come across.

Here the add from Snowball’s owner:

*** UPDATE: Meanwhile they all found their new sun! Now in new homes ***

Mars, Venus, and me met each other in the universe and we decided to come to Thailand because we got the information from above that a nice family would be waiting for us.

Few days ago Daeng was lost and Bonnie desperately asked us for help. So please if you have any idea what happened to Daeng please get in touch with her. And this she wrote: Daeng was lost in Chiang Mai, centre city area, on June 30th. He is very skinny and ill with parasites and [...]

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 [...]

Dogs of the Week… << Cherub The name says it all – just look at that face! Cherub is one of 3 dalmations we have at the shelter and her 2 sisters are just as adorable! They get on well with each other and would fit wonderfully into any family with  or without children or [...]

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 [...]

New Year in Chiang Mai is a busy time and we could not miss the opportunity of meeting the thousands of shoppers at the city’s busiest shopping mall – Central Airport Plaza.

Many thanks go to the management of the complex for allowing us to hold our 3rd Adoption Fair at the centre and this time instead of being within the busy confines of walkways full of happy shoppers, we were granted permission to set up our stall on the balcony area at one of the main entrances.

But the day was made that much more a success by the happy adoptions of 7 puppies. Ally failed to capture the 7th pup Pauly & his new family but as can be seen from the images above, it was happy smiley faces all round!

Please help these people try to find their missing cat. They must be very worried now, it’s been several days since they last saw the cat near their home in Ban Nai Fan, a small village located near the Canal Road, Mae Hia. He is a male, grey and white cat named Tom and he [...]

We see so may dogs suffering with this condition and feel we need to discuss it more and let people know how important it is to treat. For nearly 3 years now, Care for Dogs has routinely treated approximately 10 dogs on a weekly basis for Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TvT). Dogs don’t catch this at [...]

If you were there, then you will know how many people came, participated, contributed & enjoyed the entertainment, the company, the delights of the artwork, the food & drink and of course the spectacle of dogs in an art gallery.

Ana sang her heart out & Kens film which he spent many hours capturing at the shelter looked good on the wall. You can view it here … but please make sure you have sound, otherwise it won’t do Ken’s fabulous work justice.

The presentation made by Karin was memorable, wrenching heart strings when explaining the large “Rescue” canvas and outlining some of the work we are involved with.

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

Can you help?
We urgently need both Thai and Western volunteers to work on our new Sunday Walking Street Market stall/booth to help raise funds for Care for Dogs.

You would be required to sell Care for Dogs t-shirts and other merchandise, collect donations and spread public awareness of Care for Dogs with other volunteers. Full shift hours are Sundays approx. 3.30pm until 11pm. Half shifts 3.30pm till 7.30pm & 7.30pm till 11pm. These hours are still to be confirmed and may change.
