Updates On 2nd Dec 2015 2nd Dec 2015, by Soi Dog Foundation
Froto was only a few weeks old when she was found in heart-breaking condition. Suffering with severe conjunctivitis in both eyes, one of her eyeballs had also ruptured, causing her untold pain. Both eyes had constant discharge and her tiny body was covered in fleas.
This little girl was all alone in the world. There was no mother in sight, no human to care for her, nowhere to call home apart from the temple where she’d been dumped. It was a miracle she was still alive.
These are the sufferin...

SADLY, I CANNOT BE ADOPTED RIGHT NOW. WILL YOU PLEASE SPONSOR MY ONGOING CARE?
My sister and I were callously dumped when we were just seven weeks old. I am Mariko.
Too small to survive such a cruel world on our own, my sister and I were brought to the Soi Dog shelter by the kind person who found us.
My sister was the braver of the two of us and she was soon adopted. Sadly, I am very shy and nervous of people, which means I need a lot more work before I can be adopted.
I feel safe here at t...

Soi Dog Foundation 2nd Dec 2015, by Soi Dog Foundation
As reported recently, our ongoing work against the illegal dog meat trade often brings to light evidence of the illegal smuggling of wildlife.
Recently, our undercover investigators, while on the look-out for dog meat trade activity, were able to pass information to the Royal Thai Police and the regional Mekong River Unit of the Royal Thai Navy.
This information resulted in the confiscation of a huge number of animals that were destined to be illegally smuggled across the Mekong River to Laos...

My name is Mia and I am a 4 year old girl who was saved from Asia’s barbaric dog meat trade. Will you please email cristy@soidog.org to ADOPT me?
Snatched in the dead of night, crushed into a cage with many other dogs, and driven away on a truck to cross the border. I could not understand why I was in this cage and why these people were doing this to me. Being so small, it was terrifying with so many other dogs barking and crying out in pain.
I am a sweet girl and very calm. I sit patiently...

THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME
I am just one of thousands of dogs saved from the cruel dog meat trade. We are only alive because of people like you.
My name is Jet and I live in Scotland now. This is my story.
I was snatched from the street and thrown into a tiny cage containing other petrified dogs. It was far too small to hold us all and many of us sustained broken bones and other injuries.
It was just one cage of hundreds, all containing dogs like me and piled high on a horrible truck destined...

What would have happened to poor little Kingfisher without people like you does not bear thinking about. She was in unimaginable pain when she was found, just weeks old, wandering the streets.
She was suffering from an infection of worms that had led to a prolapse of her rectum, causing her terrible agony. Little Kingfisher had nobody to help her – she was just another street dog of Thailand. Covered in ticks, particularly inside her ears and across her tiny belly, this little girl would nev...

I CANNOT BE ADOPTED RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP ME BY BECOMING MY SPONSOR.
My name is Popular. There was a time when l Iived on a forested hillside above a Phuket beach, until the day I stepped into an illegal pig-snare in the bush. I will never forget the agony and the terror I felt as I fought to free my leg.
The more I struggled, the more painful it got. Eventually I did manage to get free, but my leg was so seriously injured it had to be amputated when I arrived here at Soi Dog.

The lady who found me was horrified by my injury but had no idea what had happened to me. She is a kind lady who feeds all the street cats in her area – cats like me. I am a boy called Caraway and I am about 2 years of age. My whole life has been lived on the street.
When the lady found me, I had a terrible wound on my left front leg. It was severely swollen and very badly bruised. This leg was causing me a lot of pain and I was struggling to walk on it. I simply stood there and whimpered for...

Please EMAIL all questions or enquiries to teresa@soidog.org
I am a boy of about 13 weeks of age and they call me Five Star. I was abandoned in the street when I was found by a young child who took me to his home.
Sadly, his parents told him he could not keep me but luckily for me, a volunteer from Soi Dog lived next door and she made sure I was taken to the shelter instead of being dumped in the street once more.

I was living peacefully on the streets of Phuket when some locals wanted to get rid of me. My name is Aro.
A kind man brought me to Soi Dog after he saw me being chased and overheard people say there were plans to poison me.
Sadly, my early years and experiences on the streets have made me a bit suspicious and I do not trust people. I can now live in safety here at the shelter but for this I need YOU.

Tam was found having been cruelly beaten. He arrived at our shelter with wounds on his head and legs after a savage attack by someone clearly intent on killing him.
It is only thanks to people like you that we were able to take Tam in, nurse his wounds, and help him regain his trust in humans once more.
After two years at our shelter, Tam was adopted by the lovely Marjo in Finland and here he is settling into his new life! Thank you Marjo for giving this gorgeous boy a loving home.

Who knows how long I would have suffered were it not for people like you?
I am a 7 year old boy and life on the streets was not kind to me. My name is Nosipho and I was found by an Animal Rescue Officer from Soi Dog. The first thing he noticed was how much I struggled to walk. My left hind leg appeared to be causing me terrible pain.
I was scared when that man picked me up. Life on the streets makes you wary of humans, but since being at the shelter, I am learning to trust them. The vets here...

I AM COLLIE – WILL YOU PLEASE SPONSOR ME WHILE I LIVE AT THE SOI DOG SHELTER?
I arrived here because I’d been dumped by my owners and couldn’t survive on my own. I suffer from epilepsy, which causes me to have things called seizures.
Because I am a collie cross, I may have suffered some neurological damage due to an inappropriate worming injection when I was little.
I am a very sweet-natured boy but I do need ongoing medical care.

After weeks of intensive treatment funded by the members of our Care for Cats Club, X-Man went on to make an incredible recovery. This is what we want for every street cat we...
