Today Is Black Cat Appreciation Day A Day That Aim..
17th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day 🖤 – a day that aims to not only honour their beautiful, sleek coats but also give them recognition as they are often overlooked in shelters.
We’d like to celebrate today by sharing Thuja’s #furrytailending story.
Thuja (now Nala) was dumped in a local's garden when she was just four weeks old. She needed lots of tending to when she arrived at the shelter as she was underweight and battling cat flu.
Although Thuja was a very shy girl, she was very m...

17th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Can you imagine being part of a family one day? And then completely abandoned the next? Neither can we. 😔
Poor Cagnay just couldn’t understand what she had done wrong, why she was suddenly unworthy of being loved. 💔 Her face might have looked a little different to how it used to, but she was still the same sweet girl, with the same desire to be cared for.
Found abandoned on a rubber plantation - with many other dogs in the area, Cagnay was extremely frightened and at risk of being hur...

16th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
A diamond in the rough, 🌟Dog of the Week🌟 Bonnie was found roaming around an abandoned construction camp by our rescue officers in October 2019. https://links.soidog.org/adopt-bonnie
What this bonnie lass was doing there all alone we don’t know, but judging by how pleased she was when help arrived, she must have had people feeding or caring for her there at some stage.
Our officers were searching the area for dogs in need of sterilisation at the time they found Bonnie. When she arrived...

16th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Despite the dog meat trade being illegal in the Philippines, hundreds of dogs are still snatched from the streets every single day, and brutally slaughtered for their meat.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your voice is powerful in the fight against this barbaric trade.
The more social and political pressure we can put on dog meat traders, the more dogs will be spared. That’s why we need the support of the highest levels of leadership, and why your name on the letter will really m...

16th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
For many visitors to Thailand, meeting past and present street animals, and hearing their stories can have a lasting impact on their lives. Which was exactly the case for Joscha when he visited Soi Dog seven years ago. In his own words, “that one day left a lasting impression and never let me go.”
Fast-forward to August 2022, and Joscha has just set off on a once in a lifetime adventure with his partner, Xenia on an incredible adventure cycling from Berlin to Thailand all in aid of Soi Dog ...

15th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Agildo was only three months old when he was rescued from the streets and brought to our shelter back in 2016. He was covered in fleas, his fur was patchy and he had reportedly been abandoned. What a tough start to life. But things got better when he met Soi Dog volunteer Emily... Here’s Agildo's #furrytailending story as told by her:
“I decided to volunteer at Soi Dog back in 2018. Spending a month at Soi Dog was the most rewarding thing I've ever done, and something I will remember foreve...

14th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
My name is Tana Chard, and I have never had a loving family to take care of me... 💔 I have always lived on the streets, fending for myself. Every day it was a struggle to find shelter and food... Once I couldn’t find any shelter and started to panic a little. I was rushing around and boom 💥, I was hit by a car.
Thankfully, a kind lady found me and brought me to Soi Dog. My leg was badly injured, and the vets had to amputate it to end my suffering. It was such a traumatic experience... ...

A before and after we’ve all been waiting for… it’s Jumino!
We are so happy to share that Jumino is no longer in the hospital, and it’s all because of the kindness of people like you. 🧡
When she was first found on the side of the road, we didn’t know if she would ever make it to this point. She had extensive injuries from being hit by a car, and was barely hanging on. Thankfully, she has the spirit of a true fighter, and is still smiling and bouncing through life today - despite ...

Tennis Balls Arent Just For Dogs, You Know. Cats C..
13th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Tennis balls aren’t just for dogs, you know. Cats can play too. The only difference is a dog will bring the ball back to you, while a cat will probably push it further away 😼
In this week’s episode of #CatWatch, Ferreira tries her paws at some tabby tennis/feline football.
Ferreira came to Soi Dog at the end of last year with an enormous wound on her side, likely the result of either a dog bite or deliberate human cruelty.
The wound took a large chunk out of her side, and at first we ...

It’s a real team effort, with vets, rescue officers and community outreach staff all on hand to help the hundreds of dogs housed there receive vital vaccinations against six major diseases, including rabies, distemper and parvovirus.
The drive itself may take just a day, but our commitment to the pound is year-rou...

Every Year, Millions Of Unwanted Puppies Are Born ..
13th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Every year, millions of unwanted puppies are born into a life of suffering on the streets of Thailand.
For many, their lives will be short. Taken as a victim of disease, hunger, road traffic accidents or human cruelty before they are even a few months old.
Things aren’t much better for the ones that do survive. A grim existence awaits them amongst sickness, hunger and danger.
But their suffering can be prevented. The most humane and effective way of managing the stray animal population is...

12th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
A scratch behind his ears, a ruffle of his fur and 🌟Dog of the Week🌟 Tommy will be yours! https://links.soidog.org/dog-of-the-week-tommy
Sadly, Tommy didn’t have much fur to ruffle when he first arrived at the shelter. A severe case of alopecia had claimed most of it, and he was left with tough leathery skin and open sores.
With the right treatment, much of Tommy’s fur has grown back now, though it’s still missing in patches, giving him a unique look much like a fox shedding its...

12th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Hi, I’m Wanjeab, probably the most unique kitty you will see today! They say I'm quirky because my head bobs around when I walk, I don’t notice it, but the humans say it makes me special. I am quite special to be honest... You can read more about me here: https://links.soidog.org/sponsor-wanjeab-this-year 🙏🧡
Sadly, I have a neurological condition and a contagious feline disease, and I probably won’t find a forever home anytime soon. Like me, there are many other rescue cats who need...

Heartbroken and lost when he arrived, now Fred can’t stop wearing that cheeky grin of his and dreaming of finding a place to call home.🏠 https://www.soidog.org/adopt/fred-2802
Before Fred came to Soi Dog earlier this year, he had a family, but they moved overseas and left him behind. We could see nothing but sadness and fear in his eyes when he arrived at our shelter.
Despite the trauma of his experience, Fred has decided to put the past behind him and is ready to move on to the next chap...

Madahva Is A True Survivor. Not Many Dogs Who Get ..
11th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Madahva is a true survivor🐾😱... Not many dogs who get distemper will live to tell their tale. This terrible disease caused her a number of severe symptoms: she had a fever and a runny nose, and her eyes – now so bright and happy – were oozing with pus 😥. Madahva was also lethargic and barely able to stand due to dysplasia of both of her hips. She’d try and stand, then fall to the ground in agony.

At Twelve Years Old, Loxie Has Likely Spent Most O..
11th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
At twelve years old, Loxie has likely spent most of her life on the streets. Being a stray dog is probably all she has ever known. 💔
When her eyes started to hurt, she must have been in so much pain. To make things even worse, Loxie had also been suffering from alopecia, which had caused a lot of hair loss and resulted in a fungal skin infection. 😔
Loxie must have been so frightened to have been struggling on the streets alone – not knowing if help would come. In the end, it took just ...

10th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
⚠️ Graphic images ⚠️ Jadoo was frightened, in pain and alone when a kind person came along and saved his life. If it wasn’t for them, he wouldn’t be here today. 💔
Found with a deep maggot wound on his cheek, we’re not sure what happened to Jadoo. Judging by the severity of his wound, he had been suffering for a while. With the wound being at least 5cm in size, poor Jadoo must have been in so much pain. 😥
Jadoo has a long recovery ahead of him as he'll need a wound reconstru...

9th Aug 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
What a total transformation 🌟Dog of the Week🌟 Tommy has made, not only of body but of mind and spirit too. https://links.soidog.org/adopt-tommy
We could hardly believe the condition Tommy was in when he arrived at the shelter back in June 2019, and we could only imagine how long he’d been left to suffer in such condition.
By the time our rescue officers happened upon him, his body was almost hairless from a skin disease, he was weak with anaemia and he was terrified of human contact....
