What an enormous task it is to shower 20 pups.
It’s not just the ‘you will do, come here, get wet, there you go’ routine that people might think.
These pups are about 6 weeks old. They have left their mother far too early. They have not been kept clean by the mothers constant care and right [...]

Hi! We are Gary, Gene and George, sweet, gentle, and active little puppies with plenty of puppy spirit. We were born on the streets of Chiang Mai.
Dog catchers had tried to catch my mom, and neighbours had asked the team of Care For Dogs if we could stay at their shelter.
We are 8 weeks old, [...]

Pearl is at our shelter now, playing with other puppies who had a similar fate, being dumped, forgotten, neglected.

If you are interested in giving Pearl or one of the other puppies a loving family home, please get in touch with us.

**Update one day later**
Our dog caregiver, Khun Saay, found another puppy in front of the shelter. “Diamond” looks like the sister of Pearl and both are reunited now. We checked the area and couldn’t find another one, hopefully no other puppy was dumped in the area, it would have a hard time of surviving without food.

My husband, Nok, came back from paying the rent today and changed my planned afternoon of work. The  landlord told him there were 2 stray dogs in soi 4 of our Muu Baan (lane 4 of our housing village), 1 of which was pregnant but has disappeared possibly to give birth somewhere. Mmm… I could [...]

When you live in Thailand, you become aware that life away from the city and the various tourist focused areas, can be quite basic and to people coming from a western civilisation, these places can draw comments like slum, poverty, backward and indeed 3rd world.
“Temple” & “Remote” are 2 words that constantly send a shiver [...]

UPDATE
Caroline found a home yesterday (1 October)
Caroline is a 7 - 10 year old pure bred German Shepherd that was rescued recently to the shelter, after being dumped outside the home of a friend of Care for Dogs.
(Isn’t it amazing that when people know you love dogs, they will take advantage of that?)
She has [...]

It seems an easy thing to do… just throw little lives away but some people do it.
A dog loving friend of Care for Dogs this week, says “6 very small fluffy bundles in a sack were just dumped at my gate.”
The lady has now placed the 6 kittens in a protective cage at her home, [...]

The little fluffy dog stood in the middle of the highway that leads from Mae Joe to Chiang Mai. While driving past, I noted her with one eye, and suddenly had a strange feeling - something was wrong. You see a lot dogs along the highways, in bustling streets, even sleeping on the road, and [...]

This is Tim upon arriving at our shelter. Tim is not a Bull Terrier with a bit a deformed nose. He’s a lovely normal Thai dog, who had a perfectly normal nose, until he developed a TvT tumor (Transmissible Venereal Tumor) about 2 years ago.
His original Thai name is “Tingk” which means “Dumped”. He lives [...]
