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!

*Adam & Eve have now been adopted.

Here’s a cute couple for you. This is brother and sister team… Adam & Eve.

They are both currently living on the street in Soi 4 of my Moo Baan (housing village) and desperately need a warm and loving home. It would be great to keep them together but [...]

Andy (photographed with Jojo here ) and Veronika had previously visited Happy Gambol Dog Training and Boarding Facility near Mae Rim, where the proprietors Patrick and Nok had suggested that when visiting the Care for Dogs shelter, they should take time to watch out for the dog that adopted them, a dog that was just naturally drawn to them.. and Jo Jo certainly was.

This pretty little mother and daughter came to us in a very distressed condition.
They arrived with two of SiSi’s 8 week old puppies having been thrown out of their home by an owner who, it appeared, just stopped caring.
As with a lot of cases, we very quickly re homed the youngsters but because of the [...]

** Update – Kali has now been adopted and found a new home. We wish her a very happy future**

Hi, my name is Kali. I was named after an Indian godess.

I am looking for a warm and loving home to live. Right now I am being fostered by a really nice, kind couple until I [...]

Today, Karin, Soraya & I met up with the volunteer team from Nakorn Payap International School (NIS) at Wat Ban Tho, the temple project they have recently initiated.
We were there to collect a couple of TvT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor cases) and to check in with Elissa Francemone, the teacher who is driving this project. It [...]

Yes it’s official, Care for Dogs will be holding another adoption fair in Chiang Mai, in an effort to try to find homes for all those bouncing bundles of fun that are now just about ready to leave the protection of the shelter and find their lives in the big wide world!

Stay tuned to this channel! Do not adjust your set, the advert for the event will appear here very shortly.

Care for Dogs was contacted recently by a dog loving family who found a little puppy abandoned at a temple they had visited.
We find it very difficult to explain to people around the world about the reality of dogs being dumped but even more difficult is the enormous task of finding homes for so many [...]

The 20 youngsters are still huddled much of the time, that’s when they are not eating, playing & poo’ing – Oh don’t start me on that subject!

As you can see they are growing fast and we hope in a couple of weeks time to start warming up Chiang Mai hearts, by holding an Adoption Fair, with a focus on getting as many of these fluffy bundles a new home and a new start to their lives.
Would you like 1? If you take 1… you could get 2 or 3 as a bargain offer.

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.

Rocket.
Never have I known a dog with so apt a name, the life of any puppy party. A pocket sized parcel of mischief!
When we first arrived at Care For Dogs 5 weeks ago, Rocket and her siblings were a mere 5 weeks old, yet already you could spot the live wire in the bunch.
Every [...]
