Hands on Volunteers

I will never forget the first time I visited Care for Dogs: I was overwhelmed not only by the amount of dogs but also by all the different and sad cases the foundation had to deal with. Apart from illnesses and diseases street dogs can catch and develop, it is very upsetting to see what humans are capable of doing. |

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. |

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 |

Often I can help, but also often I need help and I’m grateful that I can count on the help of Care for Dogs. |

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life since a child as we were never without at least one furry friend.Thailand has been no different in that I’ve had the great pleasure of having dogs here from the first moment I arrived. What brought me to CfD was losing my lovely Rottweiler, |

What I love about dogs is their sincerity; their genuine attitude towards life. They are what they are at their purest, with their good qualities and their flaws. You can really build an amazing companionship with a dog. When giving even just a little to these wonderful beings, you will receive back what you give ten times over!. |

When I got the possibility to volunteer at Care for Dogs and contribute to the well being of the animals, giving a little bit back to them what they gave me in my life, I was over the moon and jumped at the opportunity. |
