Hands on Volunteers

To be able to save as many dogs as possible from these situations and give them a better life full of the love, care and compassion that they deserve fills me with a strong feeling of contentment. To see puppies with little hope go from starvation & weakness to full of life and dogs that shivered in fear at any sudden movement suddenly so affectionate after we rescue them or distemper cases with little or no hope make a full recovery, makes all our hard work at Care for Dogs so worthwhile. |

I love doing this work and my greatest reward is to see those dogs happy and healthy, in part, because of my efforts to give them the things that they need. |

I have always been drawn to Thailand and after hearing about Care for Dogs from a past volunteer in Byron Bay, Australia, Chiang Mai seemed the obvious next stop. To simply be able to do service to these wonderful friends alongside pursuing my singing here in CM is a dream come true! My mantra when I see someone I can help has got to be: ‘Saving one dog won’t change the world but surely, the world will change for that one dog’, thankfully they are saving my life too – the joy they bring me is immense. |

As a volunteer, I am involved with translation, promotion of Care for Dogs through Thai medias and helping to raising funds. Some times, I get involved in rescuing dogs and cats that are in danger and helping the villagers to transport dogs to the vet for sterilization. |

Gentle in nature, forever in need of love, and living at the mercy of the people and surroundings around them have endeared me to the plight of the street dog. For once in my life I finally found a passion that felt reciprocal in its rewards, its pains and its fight. When I see a street dog alone, bleeding and emancipated in the middle of a bustling crowd not hated, not loved, not seen, but treated with indifference, this is what I can no longer turn away from. |

Animals love you unconditionally. They forgive us humans for starving them, beating them and ignoring them. They need help and they need a voice. It’s so hard to describe in words how moving and rewarding it is for me to work alongside the dogs and pups at care for dogs. |

CfD involves volunteers regarding their specific talent and interest to get the best benefit for all (especially the doggies) and be part of a fantastic team work. |

I visited the centre regularly cuddling, grooming and playing with the lovely creatures. They loved the attention and in some cases it was wonderful to see the transformation from frightened dogs into happy animals, always ready with a wag and a friendly nuzzle. I recommend anyone who loves animals to visit the centre, I know I definitely will next time I am in Chiang Mai. |

There are so many dogs in CFD and they all want to cuddle and play with you. It is almost as if they realize which horrific lifestyle they have been saved from and all they want to do is wag their tail and thank you for caring for them. |

I was sad to see that people in the north of the country don’t appear to treat their dogs and cats any better than their counterparts in the south. Poisoning happens here too, and I’ve had to make emergency runs to vets with animals that have been run over and some of these from temples, where despite being busy with people, many just ‘turn a blind eye’ to their suffering. As long as I can occasionally take distance from it all and do other things with my life, I’m glad to be able to offer some help. I certainly couldn’t live with myself if I did nothing |
