Dr. Pan’s start in our new vet facilities

By Karin • Jul 2nd, 2010 • Category: Lead Stories

In the early days of Care for Dogs the little one-room house of our dog caretaker Khun Chaay was an “All in one” solution – living room, food preparation area, treatment room, and a small table in a dark area next to the boiling cooking pots was the “office”.
At that time we were not sure if we would be able to raise the funds for this investment, and we were discussing in our core team if we should take this risk. But we had the trust (or untamed optimism?) that with the help of friends and supporters we could make this milestone possible.

We are very happy that Dr. Pan has started last June working with us on a 3 days per week part time basis from Mondays to Wednesdays. Even before her official start she kindly offered to volunteer for us, brought in her vet friends, and they sterilized and operated the first dogs in our new operation room.

Before….

By Gill • Apr 2nd, 2009 • Category: Already found a home

**Update Already found a home – No surprises there !**
This story just shows what the right action and a little bit of time can achieve.

This is Alfie, a gorgeous little guy who was found dumped on the side of the road.

Maybe it was because he had hardly a hair left on him, we will never know. But he was picked up and bought to the shelter where he was diagnosed with mange and was promptly given a special bath and put onto daily medication.

Transmissible Venereal Tumor

By Ally • Mar 5th, 2009 • Category: TvT

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.
