Do You Remember Kamilla? Callously Hurt By Someone..
13th Jun 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
Do you remember Kamilla? Callously hurt by someone, she had given up all hope, until a kind-hearted individual found her and wanted to help.
She had a large open wound on her thorax which had likely been caused by a sharp object. We can’t imagine the horror she must have endured. 😥 Thankfully, our veterinary team found that it had not damaged her organs, although there was some muscle trauma.
After lots of loving care in our hospital, Kamilla has made an incredible recovery. Something th...

I Knew Fiv Cats Have Less Chance To Get Adopted, S..
12th Jun 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
“I knew FIV+ cats have less chance to get adopted, so I decided to help him to have a home forever.” – Thungyah’s adopter.
Thungyah was found abandoned in a rice field not far from the Soi Dog shelter in 2019.
He was just a few weeks old at the time and, without the round-the-clock care only a mother cat or foster carer can provide, he’d fallen victim to a number of health issues, including cat flu, dermatitis and a swollen, infected eye.
He also tested positive for the incurable...

10th Jun 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
Continued… The immediate aftermath of the 2004 tsunami was chaotic. The sheer scale of destruction, the loss of life both human and animal, the overwhelming size and traumatic nature of the clear-up and relief effort became apparent.
After spending the first three days after the tsunami helping with the human crisis, Soi Dog – with Gill in her wheelchair initially – began a huge operation across the region to feed and treat the many abandoned and displaced dogs, thousands of whom had als...

7th Jun 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
Our #SoiDog20Years timeline continues.
It’s 2004. Having returned to be with John at home for Christmas, Gill is coming to terms with the life-changing circumstances of losing both her lower legs. One cannot imagine what was going through her mind at that stage. But being the determined individual she was, she would get through it come what may. That was Gill. She wouldn’t let anything get in the way of the mission to save the dogs and cats of Asia.
What happened next was the stuff of ni...

6th Jun 2023, by Soi Dog Foundation
⚠️ Upsetting images ⚠️ Being a stray dog with no one to feed or care for her, HinNgam had taken shelter at a local beach on the island.
But when you have to fend for yourself, there is little protection and poor HinNgam was found with an open wound on her right hind leg. 😥 We don’t know how it happened, but it must have been severe as she had lost all of her digits on that paw. 😲
The suffering she was going through must have been unbearable, and yet there was still no one to h...

It’s amazing what a whole lot of love can do. 🥰 When Zubell and Zubaki were just a few days old their mother left and never came back again. 😥

We know it might be hard to believe as he doesn’t look a day over 10, but our sweet, sponsor boy, Daymon is 17 today! 🎈 We hope you’ll join us in wishing him the happiest of birthdays. 🎂

But we soon l...
