I want to find someone who can do the adoption follow up visits once a week, since they are so crucial, as you might understand now.

So please, anybody who is interested in helping the shelter team, whose team members are very, very busy with lots of equally important work regarding the well being of the dogs, please don’t hesitate to contact them and offer your help for 3-4 hours (one evening) per week. In doing the adoption follow up visits, you would fulfill a very important part in the care for dogs’ team work for the dogs!

We were recently made aware by one of our volunteers of a very difficult scenario evolving in Mae Rim.
In March 2007 Care for Dogs visited a small plot of land in Mae Rim where a guy had relocated 30 dogs from his previous home in Phuket. He was setting up a home for the dogs [...]

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.

Wednesdays are always busy at the shelter and today was no exception. We have a schedule to keep to, as this is when we have a vet on site to help us treat all our TvT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor) cases and also check out any other cases of ill health that we need assistance in [...]

Today it was raining puppies! I got a call early morning about 6 puppies (turned out to be 7) at CMU (Chiang Mai University). I ventured over in the rains, that didn’t stop all day, to check the situation and take some photos.
They were easy to find taking shelter under the Faculty of Economics building.

**Update – Fluffy found a home at the Birthday Party – Thanks to Elena !! **
Hi there y’all. My name is Fluffy.
Yeah, yeah I know it’s a bit girlie but apparently I was named this because that’s how I look…. all white & fluffy!

I’m a really friendly guy who’s looking for a new home to [...]

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.

These beautiful kittens are now 8 weeks old and are ready to be adopted into new homes.
There are just 2 left and both are boys.

And last week I was contacted by Kelly who had rescued a pretty little black and white female kitten. A neighbour had taken the rest of the litter and dumped them [...]

Karin, Soraya & I went on a road trip today, returning to Doi Saket and the awful caged dogs and the man who we are trying to encourage to change his ways and on the way we called into a government office, the local livestock department.
Recently, a Thai Government officer working in Bangkok, visited the [...]

The purpose of this article is to raise readers awareness of some of the work that Care for Dogs is involved in, apart from Sterilisation, Adoption and caring for sick or wounded dogs at the shelter in Hang Dong, Chiang Mai Thailand.
Dogs that suffer with this awful condition pass it on to one another very easily. Either via intercourse or contact with the blood, a dog can easily contract it and pass it on to all those that are in their vicinity.

I know I’ve mentioned Wolfie numerous times, as I’m definitely a proud mama! But I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of how I met her.
For those of you who don’t know me personally, I come to Thailand on a tourist visa so have to renew it every month. As my heart is also [...]

This story is a little upsetting as the title suggests. But there is a happier outlook for them and we can assure you, they are now in a better place than they were.
In September 2007, the concerned children of an old lady that had recently passed away, contacted Care for Dogs. They explained about their [...]

Sonja has been in & out of the shelter for over 2 years now.
Initially she came to the shelter from Wat Doi Kam for sterlisation and then returned there to be with her brother and other friends she had come to know.
Then over time, she came back to the shelter for various reasons, sore feet [...]
