Help Stop This Vile Practce!
18th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Last month, Vietnam drafted a directive to ban the illegal trade and consumption of wildlife; a move we welcomed. However, we strongly urged the authorities to include companion animals in the directive as dog and cat meat stalls are all too common at the same wet markets that trade in exotic wildlife.
But the sad reality has now presented itself – sales of dog and cat meat have risen in Vietnam. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coro navirus-dog-cat-meat-vietnam-cambodia-indonesi...

17th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Our quirky kitty Wanjeab is looking for a new pal! Interested? Click here to find out more about this special girl: https://links.soidog.org/Sponsor-Wanjeab-today
Wanjeab did not have an easy start in life. At just a few months old, she was found wandering the streets of Phuket - homeless, scared and alone. She was brought to the safety of Soi Dog. Sadly, we soon discovered she has a train tumour as well as other serious conditions.
Animals like Wanjeab have nowhere else to go. And our goal...

Won't You Consider Giving Lumix A Home Today?
17th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Lumix, our 🌟Dog of the Week🌟 is coming to you all the way from Texas, USA!
Lumix is of course originally from Thailand and he came to Soi Dog Foundation's shelter, with an injured leg. His leg couldn't be saved so it had to be amputated. Despite living a hard life as a street dog never knowing when the next meal was coming from and then losing a leg on top of it, you'd think poor Lumix would be a sad dog but, he wasn't.
He was always smiling and loved people and continues to thri...

Homeless Cats Like Benten Need You Now More Than Ever.
17th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
When you hear the name Benten, you might think of the Cartoon Network show of a 10-year-old boy and his series of adventures in space. When we hear Benten, we think of a two-year-old kitty whose own series of adventures on the streets of Thailand led him to the Soi Dog shelter.
Benten was brought to us by a kind man who found him limping around on the streets. The cause of his injury remains a mystery, but our vets knew straight away that it was beyond repair. As soon as he recovered from a bou...

16th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Cosmic is not only beautiful but is one of those cats that survived severe pain and suffering only to come out stronger on the other side.
He was found by the side of the road bleeding heavily from his tail, most probably after he was hit by a car. He was rushed to Soi Dog Foundation’s cat hospital, and thanks to all your kind donations, he received all the emergency care he needed.
Cosmic’s wounds are now healed. All he has as a memory of the tragic accident is a short and kinky tail whi...

Young And Homeless Dog Shoto Came To Us From Thail..
14th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Young and homeless dog Shoto came to us from Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, where he’d been cruelly abused by horrible humans.
A city of more than 8 million people, Bangkok is home to thousands upon thousands of homeless animals who’ll need emergency care at any given time. These dogs and cats are vulnerable to getting sick or hit by cars, abused by cruel humans, or simply falling victim to accidents.
Shoto, like so many homeless animals in Thailand, had gotten injured. He was seen wand...

14th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
Due to the current pandemic, most families are stationed at home. So, we asked our Soi Dog adopters to share how their rescue dogs and cats are coping with the change of routine.
This is Achilles, previously known as Rakkoen at the shelter. When he was brought into Soi Dog, he had a horrific wound from a collar that had become caught between his neck and arm and dug deep into his skin. But his luck soon changed and he found his forever home in the USA just months later.
We were informed ...

Happy Songkran From All The Soi Dog Rescues.
13th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
This year’s Songkran festival, also known as the traditional New Year in Thailand, has been postponed.
Usually, this nationwide celebration, held from the 13th-15th April, involves water splashing and community gatherings. Especially here in Phuket, the scenes can get quite chaotic. Imagine streets lined with pickup trucks blasting dance music, carrying buckets of ice-cold water and splashing passersby with water guns. However, an island-wide, sub-district lockdown has left the streets empty...

13th Apr 2020, by Soi Dog Foundation
They grow up so fast, don’t they? When we first told you about Thungyah and Thungnar, they were just a month old and could fit in the palm of their carer’s hand. In the updated photos below, they’re approaching five months old and are bigger and stronger than ever. You could still say this brother and sister duo are a handful, but in playfulness now instead of size.
Thungyah and Thungnar were found abandoned in a rice field not far from our shelter. They had a brother too, Thungkao, but s...

The only alternative for Lumix to continue his life without pain or discomfor...
