Happy Global Cat Day from Lane and the 400+ other Thai cats at the Soi Dog shelter 😸

When Eamon was rescued, he could barely stand 💔. He was found by a local resident cowering under a car, silently pleading for help. When help arrived, Eamon was understandably wary and terrified, but his eyes held a glimmer of hope.

Name Ponyo. Age 8 Years. Time On Shelter 1,266 Day.. 13th Oct 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
🖤 Name: Ponyo
🖤 Age: 8 years+
🖤 Time on shelter: 1,266 days
🖤 Looking for: Cosy nights in with bad TV and good cuddles.
This month, we're shining a spotlight on black dogs like Ponyo who continue to be the last to be adopted out of the shelter.
Sadly, Ponyo knew what it was like to feel unwanted even before he arrived at the shelter all those years ago. He was nearly impounded by local residents who simply didn't want him around 😞.
Fortunately, this wide-eyed and wonderful b...

⚠Upsetting images⚠ Meet Khawtang, a young dog who was the victim of vicious abandonment and neglect.
Callously dumped by the people he loved and left to fend for himself, Khawtang was in dire condition when our Rescue Officers found him 😥💔 .
His body bore the scars of countless bite wounds – a testament of the brutality he endured on the streets. He had a huge, gaping wound on his left eye, oozing with maggots, and several bite wounds on his legs and torso. He must have been in a...

Two Legs, One Indomitable Spirit 💪 5th Oct 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
Two legs, one indomitable spirit 💪
In our 20-year history, few stories have captured the hearts of our supporters or the resilience of the canine spirit quite like Amira’s.
Born without front legs and left to languish on the streets for nine long years before being shot in the head, it’s hard to imagine the sheer amount of suffering Amira experienced.
But somehow, despite it all, her tail never stopped wagging and her determination never wavered.
After a remarkable recovery, Amira ...

Happy World Animal Day 🐶🌎️🐱
The theme for this year’s day is “Great or small, love them all”
The size of an animal doesn’t determine their need or their worth. You can be the biggest, toughest street dog and still need care when you’re injured. And you can be the tiniest of homeless kittens and still deserve to be seen.
When you support Soi Dog Foundation, you are showing love to companion animals of all sizes, from the smallest kittens like Bualoiy to the biggest dogs l...

Things are looking up for Downy 🙌
It broke our hearts – and yours – to see Downy when he first arrived 😞💔 He was just skin and bones, having been chained up in an abandoned house and left to starve.
Weak and malnourished, his body had started to fail him. He had a heart murmur, a bladder infection and a tick infestation, to name just a few conditions.
But you helped counter the cruelty Downy experienced. Your support provided him with safety, treatment, nourishment and love. As ...

One Last Look Back At 2022 Soidog20years. By The C.. 30th Sep 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
One last look back at 2022 #SoiDog20Years 🧡
By the close of the year, the number of animals adopted to new homes had fallen compared to previous years to 528 on account of rising travel costs, the global economic crisis and the removal of Canada as a destination for our adopted dogs.
The number of animals under the care of Soi Dog, meanwhile, had risen to almost 1,800 – the highest in our 20-year history.
…And with that, our timeline comes to an end! Thank you for joining us as we loo...
