2nd Jul 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
I am Opia and I am a true fighter. My story is not like any other story you have ever heard, and I am so thankful to be here today to share it with you. You won't believe what I have survived, click here to read more about me: https://links.soidog.org/sponsor-opia-now 🙏🧡
I was born with a congenital malformation of my front legs which meant I could never walk or run around like other dogs. Luckily, I was born in a temple and I had a sweet monk taking care of me since I was born. Everythin...

Koulia Was Terrified When We First Met Him. Hed Pr..
2nd Jul 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Koulia was terrified when we first met him. He’d probably never felt kindness from a human before. 😢 Once he was rescued from the streets and examined, it was clear that he had been suffering for quite some time. He was diagnosed with proptosis, which is a protrusion of the eye ball. To make things even worse, it had become necrotic. Imagining the pain he was in, it’s no surprise that he was so frightened.
Once his health had stabalised, he was strong enough to have surgery to remove hi...

The Time Is Now...
1st Jul 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
With the weight of your support behind us, we are launching our renewed campaign against the dog and cat meat trade, and it’s our biggest offensive against the horror yet.
Thailand is one country where the trade has been successfully abolished, and we hope it inspires you to know that this was only made possible because of your compassion and support.
If we can end it here, we can end it in Vietnam, in South Korea, in Cambodia and in every last country on Earth. The time is now.
Please do...

A Big Boy With An Even Bigger Personality
1st Jul 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
🌟Dog of the Week🌟 Cicana will bend over backwards for your affection – quite literally, as you’ll see in this video! https://links.soidog.org/dog-of-the-week-cicana
Sweet to the core and so fun to be around, it’s hard to imagine how or why anyone would abandon Cicana, but abandon him they did. After three years in a home, he suddenly found himself alone on the streets, and it wasn’t long before he wound up in trouble – badly injured in a hit and run.
They say you should love l...

Soi Dog Foundation Is Extremely Disappointed At Th..
1st Jul 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Soi Dog Foundation is extremely disappointed at the announcement by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) that dogs from countries deemed to be high risk for rabies will no longer be permitted entry into the country from September 28, 2022 🇨🇦
This includes Thailand, where Soi Dog is based.
While we fully support and appreciate the importance of implementing stringent disease control measures, we believe that the CFIA's measures are unduly harsh. Such a blanket ban unjustly penalises...

30th Jun 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Timolen and Tocho need your help. 🧡🙏
At just a few weeks old, little Timolen and Tocho were found all alone. 💔 Not having their mother to protect them, both kittens had fallen sick. Thankfully, they were found and brought in.
Both kittens have conjunctivitis and are showing flu like symptoms. At such a young age, their little bodies have already been through so much. It will be tough for these kittens, but at least they are in safe hands and have each other.

He's Just So Happy Now 🐾
30th Jun 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
When we first met Sukfourteen, there was such a sadness in his eyes. He was rescued from an illegal shelter where 17 dogs were being neglected. Poor Sukfourteen had only known suffering. 💔 He was just skin and bones when he arrived, and was in a lot of discomfort from a bad flea infestation.
After months of recovery, just look at Sukfourteen now. Where there used to be sadness in his eyes, there is only happiness. You made this possible for Sukfourteen. You changed his life. 🥰

Marcita was only a few months old when she was attacked by a fellow street dog and left with four puncture wounds on her leg. Luckily, someone heard her crying out in agony and called us for help.
With treatment, Marcita's physical wounds soon healed, but the emotional scars are still visible. Her ordeal has left her shy and unsure whe...

29th Jun 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
From the clutches of smugglers in Thailand into the loving arms of families around the world, this is the journey of our meat trade survivors 🐶💪
Prior to 2014, hundreds of thousands of companion animals fell victim to the meat trade in Thailand. But with your support, Soi Dog took on the butchers and smugglers in a three-year fight that resulted in the trade being completely eradicated and the country's first animal welfare law introduced.
In the process of fighting the trade, thousands ...

When you say “jump”, Cicana says “how high?” https://links.soidog.org/adopt-cicana
Our lively, playful 🌟Dog of the Week🌟 Cicana is up for adoption. He already has experience of living in a home, but sadly he also has experience of losing a home.
Cicana’s owner put him out on the streets in September last year. A kind local alerted us to the situation, but just as we were on route to rescue him, he was hit by a car. Safe to say luck hasn’t always been on this big boy’s sid...

Meet The Survivors: Frosty ❄️

Meet the Survivors: Frosty ❄️
You might recognise Frosty. The heartwrenching image of him desperately trying to escape a metal cage has featured on the front page of our website for many years – a stark reminder of the horror of the dog meat trade and why it’s so important we end it everywhere.
Frosty had been forced into the cage by a dog smuggler in 2014. Snatched from the streets of Thailand, he was thrown onto a truck destined for a Vietnamese slaughterhouse.

Do You Recognize Phila? His Case Was A Very Cruel ..
28th Jun 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
Do you recognize Phila? His case was a very cruel one. Phila spent two years locked in a cage. That’s 730 days without even being able to stretch his legs properly. It’s amazing that he hadn’t lost hope yet. 😥
His pleas for help were finally heard when a kind animal lover walked past. Being concerned about his welfare, they couldn’t leave him there. Sadly, such bad neglect has left Phila with lifelong damage. It’s going to be a very long recovery for Phila, but we will be there for...

Do you remember Nimnim?
A victim of terrible cruelty, Nimnim came to us in late 2020 with an elastic band around her mouth which made it impossible for her to eat, drink or even bark for help. She was just eight weeks old at the time.😢
Thanks to your support, Nimnim got the treatment, care and affection she deserved. The band may have left a permanent scar around her muzzle, but it didn't dent her spirit!
After six months at the shelter, our amazing partner rescue Furever Furbaby Rescue in...

27th Jun 2022, by Soi Dog Foundation
⚠️ Graphic images ⚠️ At twelve years old, we can only imagine what Serapis has been through as a stray dog on the streets of Thailand. Sadly, things recently took a turn for the worse when she was bitten by another dog, causing a bad wound to her back. Without medical intervention, the wound worsened and soon became infested with maggots.
Being in so much pain and distress, Serapis had stopped eating. If it wasn’t for the kindness of people like you, Serapis wouldn’t have survived....

Meet the Survivors: Boonrod 💪
Boonrod means “survivor” in Thai, and when you hear his story, you’ll understand how he earnt his name.
Boonrod was found cowering in a cage in the corner of a dog slaughterhouse in 2014. His legs were bound together, and he was mere minutes away from being slaughtered.
Acting on a tip-off, Thai police and Soi Dog undercover investigators raided the premises just in time, arresting the butcher and freeing Boonrod from an unthinkable fate.
