A tiny community living in isolation except for excursions into civilisation from their world apart, these people live in total squalor, living in the realms of mental illness and disorder.
A dilapidated 3 floored warehouse building with an equally squalid adjacent house is where a group of approximately 6 people live along with an uncounted number [...]

First of all a slight apology to readers about this weekly synopsis of my Monday vet run, my ‘Hands-on’ contribution to Care for Dogs, because it might be getting slightly boring, with the same names, same faces and same stories appearing each Monday.
Some of the other volunteers do write and are capably telling their stories [...]

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 [...]

The update this morning (24/9/08) from Sarah regarding Princess was dim. During her double surgery (c-section & sterilisation) 2 puppies were found still inside her but unfortunately already dead.

Here is Bua being returned today to her neighbourhood after sterilisation and 1 week after care at the Care for Dogs - rescue shelter.

Upon returning her I noticed Malee (below) is still suffering from a suspected ear infection or haematoma.

I had asked [...]

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 [...]

When I first met Sarah, I knew Care for Dogs was about to grow.
At that time, a year ago, I had become tired of running around here and there every day, waking up each morning to think “was the dog I helped the previous day for real, or just a nightmare that was becoming all [...]

Care for Dogs were recently asked to visit a new location for us, out in the forested area of Mae Rim, a newly renovated temple Wat Pa Dara Phirom.
One of the nuns there was concerned that the number of cats and dogs at the temple were growing and they had no way of dealing with [...]

This article published today raising hopes for an effective sterilisation of dogs in Hui Hin.
Interestingly, the focus appears to be upon the threat to humans of Hydrophobia. - Not a fear of water but the scientific name for Rabies.

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 [...]

Blood
Today Tim came along for a blood test and the results demonstrated a vast improvement from other tests done daily this last week.
TvT is a terrible disease but it can be cured if treated properly and if the dog remains healthy. Vincristine, the medication used to combat the tumor, hurts the liver and kidneys and [...]

To be effective, sterilisation of cats and dogs, needs to be methodically performed on an area where after successful completion, there will be a significant reduction in homeless animals.
During a ‘Road Trip’ with the team to various locations in Mae Rim, we stopped off in the Ched Yot area to look at a scene we [...]

Today I visited a temple that I call into from time to time, to look at the dog population, offer medication and sometimes drop off a bag of food to the monk living there. On this occasion Lek, another volunteer with Care for Dogs came along too.
I started going to this temple because of a [...]

This last week we received a couple of photo’s of some lucky dogs in Mae Rim, just north of the city of Chiang Mai.
I say lucky but maybe just fortunate.
It would seem that when some friends of Care for Dogs agreed to “house sit” a property whilst the owners went on their vacation, they were [...]

Nak is a delightful short legged, short haired dog with a lovable nature and a pleasant manner. She likes to run around & play with people & gets on well with other dogs.
She is about 18 months old and will not grow any bigger than she is now. She has been sterilised and would make [...]
