Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Nervous and shy but improving. My story: Life was tough for me on the streets. I was unwelcome in the area I was living, and I had at least one litter of puppies there which made matters even worse. Then, one day, I was hit by a car! It was at this point that someone reported me to Soi Dog and they sent their rescue officers to collect me. I was bleeding internally and had multiple fractures to my pelvis and legs. I am alive today thanks to the emergency surgery I received, and I'm able to get around just fine thanks to the physiotherapy I underwent afterwards. After such an ordeal, don't you think I deserve a loving home? My needs: The humans here at Soi Dog think that I have some Thai Bangkeaw in my lineage. This breed is known to be brave and feisty, whereas I'm at the other end of the spectrum and am nervous and shy! However, with the support of the behavior team, I've definitely shown improvement and am gradually coming out of my shell. I enjoy going for walks – trotting as fast as my little legs will carry me – and know I can adjust to life as a precious pet with your help. DISCLAIMER: I am located at Soi Dog in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog charges no adoption fee for me and I have been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters simply need to cover the cost of my travel crate, flight(s), and Rabies Titer Test (RTT). If you are interested in adopting me, then please inquire for further details. I woof really love it!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Gentle, tentative, friendly. My story: For the first few years of my life, I lived on the streets. I was fortunate to have a lady feeding me there, and she contacted Soi Dog when she noticed I was limping. No one is quite sure what happened to me, but I had a dislocated hip and knee and needed surgery and physiotherapy to get back on my paws again. I have a slightly uneven gait as a result but, as you can see from my photos below, this doesn't stop me from doing much! My needs: I can be tentative in new situations, so I will need time and patience while I adjust to your world. I will also need to keep my weight under control to ensure I don't put any stress on my previously injured hip and knee. I'm a big boy with a huge heart, and I think I deserve to know what it means to be a beloved furry family member. My gentle presence has captured the hearts of volunteers and staff, and I think it will capture yours too! DISCLAIMER: I am located at Soi Dog in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog charges no adoption fee for me and I have been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters simply need to cover the cost of my travel crate, flight(s), and Rabies Titer Test (RTT).

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Friendly, gentle, confident in time. My story: For the first three years of my life, I lived on the streets of Thailand. Using my wits and instincts, I learnt to survive alongside territorial street dogs and busy traffic while finding food and a safe place to sleep every night. The one thing I couldn't avoid, though, was cruelty from people. One day the person who fed me noticed that I had been slashed with a knife, leaving me with deep wounds on my nose and back. They contacted Soi Dog for help and a rescue team collected me and took me to the shelter for the treatment I needed. My needs: My trust in humans is growing gradually, and I enjoy spending time with volunteers and staff once I know them. However, I'm still a little unsure in new situations, so I ask for your time, dedication and patience while I adjust to your home. It would be a dream come true to experience life as a precious pet after only knowing the streets and the shelter. Please click the button below to make that dream come true.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Shy, cautious, apprehensive. My story: It's been so many years now that I can barely remember my life before Soi Dog. I was brought to the shelter all the way back in May 2017 after someone reported a young pup limping on the streets. I was only four months old at the time and, with no family to care for me, life on the streets was tough. The vets believe I was most likely the victim of a road traffic accident, leaving me with multiple fractures to my right hind leg and pelvis which needed surgery. Now fully recovered and all grown up, I’m finally ready to find a home of my own. My needs: Ever since I arrived, I've been a tentative girl who tends to stay in the background. With the help of the behavior team, I’ve come a long way with my confidence, but I still have a hard time trusting strangers and need to build a bond with them before I feel I can venture outside of my comfort zone. With this in mind, I'm looking for an experienced adopter who understands that a shy dog like me will need time to settle in. I’d very much like to know what life outside a shelter has to offer and what it means to be part of a loving family, so please don’t forget me though I’m at the back of the crowd. DISCLAIMER: I am located at Soi Dog in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog charges no adoption fee for me and I have been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters simply need to cover the cost of my travel crate, flight(s), and Rabies Titer Test (RTT). If you are interested in adopting me, then please inquire for further details. I woof really love it!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Sweet, friendly, gentle. My story: I came to the attention of Soi Dog in July 2021 while living alone at a construction site. I had a large maggot wound on my back that needed treatment, but sadly there was no one around to care – the construction workers having vacated the site some time before. Fortunately, a passerby noticed me and called for help. I have long since recovered and am ready to find my forever family. My needs: Though I might not look it, I am an older lass! With this in mind, I'm looking for a calm home where I can really relax for the first time in my life. Having only ever lived on the streets and in a shelter, it would be a dream to have my own space in which to enjoy my golden years. I like to go for walks and generally prefer gentle strolls with pitstops for cuddles along the way! With my strong build, beautiful coloring and sweet personality, I hope I capture someone's heart soon. DISCLAIMER: I am located at Soi Dog in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog charges no adoption fee for me and I have been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters simply need to cover the cost of my travel crate, flight(s), and Rabies Titer Test (RTT).

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My personality: Friendly, confident, sociable. My story: For the first two years of my life, I lived on the streets of Thailand. Things were tough, and they got even tougher when I became injured. No one knows quite what happened – perhaps a road traffic accident – but I was found limping around unable to use my left front leg. A kind person took me to a local clinic, but when they realised I needed specialist care, they called Soi Dog for help. At their shelter, the vets determined I'd suffered nerve damage and that my leg needed to be amputated. My needs: Like the vast majority of amputees, I've adjusted well to life on three legs. It may take a little time for me to get used to climbing steps or hopping onto your sofa, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it! I'm a friendly and confident boy who loves spending time with people and jumping up for attention. I love to explore – walking in any area of the shelter and meeting strangers and other dogs along the way. I think I'll do just great as part of a family. DISCLAIMER: I am located at Soi Dog in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog charges no adoption fee for me and I have been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters simply need to cover the cost of my travel crate, flight(s), and Rabies Titer Test (RTT). If you are interested in adopting me, then please inquire for further details. I woof really love it!
