Special thoughts for Hugo

admin — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 08:43:33 +0000

We are deeply sadden by the sudden loss of Hugo. Within a week he stopped eating and developed a skin condition. Because of his fear of human contact he did not response to the treatment and was letting himself go. It was a very difficult decision to make but we decided that it was better for Hugo to let him go.

He now rests at Time for Lime and will always have a special place in our heart.

Results of the last sterilisation program

Soi Dog has performed 89 sterilisations beginning of October on Koh Lanta on both strays and owned animals.

This is a bit less that what they’re used to but it is a sign that our work starts to bring results!! There are still a few strays that are very difficult to catch and are based in locations where the landscape makes the dog catchers work quite tricky with very steep hills and bushy jungle.

This is very encouraging and it finally feels like we’re going the right way!

Thank you to everybody who make our work possible, volunteers, donators and of course Soi Dog Foundation.

Soi Dog Foundation agreed once more to give us a hand with sterilisation before the high season starts. They will be catching strays and sterilise all cats and dogs brought to our clinic from the 4th to the 8th (midday) October 2010. A big thank you to their team without whom the population of strays [...]

Lib, one of our permanent Thai staff, is starting a family!! She is excepting her first baby and we’re so happy for her!!

The bad news is that she’s leaving us… She will go back to her home town (Udon Thani) to be with her family for this new adventure.

We wish her all the best and who knows, maybe she’ll want to come back… We hope!

While we’re looking for a new staff, we will definitely need more help from volunteers so don’t be shy and contact us!

Hi, Harry here! I love people to talk about me!!

Me again! I found a new home! I am in beach heaven far away from the road. I am the king at Klapa Klum bar now, with my new owner Khun Ae’s 3 cats. My job is to welcome all customers and keep them happy which, to be honest with you, is pretty easy and enjoyable. On my free time I go run on the beach with my doggies friends. I think I’ll be just fine here and please come and visit us!

Welcome to our new manager!!

Nicola is settling in her new job. After 2 weeks of hard work of getting familiar with the center, the staff and of course all the animals, she starting to have a bigger picture of what needs to be done.

We are very pleased to count you within our team!

Special THANK YOU!!

A big THANK YOU to Doris and Christian Hasenbichler from Austria!!! Once again they, and their LAW support group, raised about 45,000THB for us! They have been our greatest supporters since the beginning. They always seem to know when we need donations the most… That must be a special connection there… Thank you again so [...]

Harry, back to square one but still a happy chappy!

After a few days in his new house, Harry unfortunately had a bit of an accident… His owner came back late from a trip to Krabi and Harry being so happy to see him coming back, ran onto the road and got hit by a car.

Poor Harry got his right back leg broken. We took him to the vet, who said that the wounds were too severe to fix and that amputation was the best solution for his case…

But Harry doesn’t go down so easily, so after a major surgery and a couple of weeks of TLC he’s back on his legs and jumping around like a rabbit!!

We have decided not to send him back to his previous home as it is too close from the road and clearly Harry has no notion of the danger of cars, so he’s up for adoption again and next time we’ll make sure that his future home is in the middle of nowhere with no modern vehicles to run under!

New Volunteers

Maureen from UK arrived at the center almost 2 weeks ago already. She’s a PE teacher taking some time from her holiday to come and get her hands on everything that needs to be done here. So big thank you to her!
