Niall has known Twix since he was a puppy, feeding him on his daily rounds. Twix has always been one of the friendliest street dogs and we were worried about him when he went missing one day without explanation.
Luckily he was spotted a few months later, in a different part of the island where someone had dumped him, so we brought him to Happy Doggo land for his safety.
Twix is a fun, playful and energetic young dog and has fitted in nicely with the other dogs at the land. He is good-natured, has learnt to walk well on the lead and loves human attention.
He would be well suited to having his own people to spend time with. He is a healthy dog and is looking for a home that can offer him a lot of attention and an active lifestyle.

Brendan lived as part of a pack on Niall's feeding round but one day when he turned up he found poor Brendan had been shot 5 times with a pellet gun, someone had even shot him in the face.
He was operated on at the Tina Clinic to remove the pellets, one had just missed his spine. Luckily he has since made a full recovery.
Since this traumatic incident, understandably, Brendan has been a bit shy and nervous of people, but with help from the team at Happy Doggo land, he is coming out of his shell and starting to be his usual friendly self again.
He is enjoying life at the land and is a good-natured dog who particularly loves going out for walks. He can be a bit wary of strangers at first but is learning to trust people again. He is looking for a home that will understand his difficult background and help him settle in at his own speed. Brendan would be best suited as the only dog in the house or with female dogs.

He is looking for a home that will work on some training with him. He is a strong, healthy dog and would be best suited as the only dog in the house with full attention from his new family.

Sonny came to Happy Doggo land in a very sorry state, with an even sadder story. He was found alone at the house he once lived in with his family. They left the island and sadly abandoned him to fend for himself. Poor Sonny stayed there for months loyally waiting for them to come back for him, but they never returned.When he was rescued, his skin was in a terrible state, sore, itchy, and infected, in desperate need of attention and Sonny was clearly feeling very sad and confused.
The good news is that since being at Happy Doggo land and undergoing treatment, Sonny’s skin has healed very nicely, his fur has grown back, and he is feeling more himself again. Sonny is a sweet and gentle dog, who enjoys relaxing on the sofa in the office surrounded by people, and going out for walks. He loves human attention and is longing for a home and family of his own again. Sonny is an older dog so he is looking for a home in Thailand he can travel to straight away, with an owner who is around a lot of the day for company. He would be best suited as the only dog in the house.

Moolah was an unexpected rescue as we were in fact helping other dogs in a migrant worker camp when we found her tied to a chain. She was suffering from a sore skin condition with patches of fur missing and was covered in ticks and fleas.The people who cared for her were not unkind, Moolah had been trying to steal the neighbour's chickens, so they tied her up for her own safety as she had been threatened.
Moolah's front teeth have been worn down trying to free herself from the chain. They sadly didn't have the education or resources to know how to treat her skin condition so it went untreated for a long time, they even poured gasoline on it, not knowing what to do.
We helped them with medication for the other dogs, however they felt that Moolah would be better off being rehomed elsewhere. Since receiving treatment, Moolah’s skin and fur have improved massively, she is looking and feeling so much better. She is enjoying her new found freedom, loves people and has lots of energy for walks.
She would really benefit from being in a home environment and would be best suited as the only dog in a house with an enclosed garden. Moolah is ready to go to a forever home in Thailand right away.

Bambino is a very sweet little puppy who sadly had a traumatic start. After being dumped on the streets without his mother, poor Bambino was then hit by a car. Luckily for him, a young girl witnessed the accident, scooped him up and tried her best to care for him in a makeshift 'hospital', in a cardboard box in her house.
We were asked to help and to get him proper treatment and so we took Bambino to the vets, fortunately he turned out not to have any broken bones, but he was suffering from anaemia and a painful hernia caused by the accident. He was bandaged up for a couple of weeks and Bambino has since made a full recovery.
Now that he has healed, Bambino is enjoying life at Happy Doggo land and is growing in to a fun, sweet-natured and brave puppy. He has lots of energy, has made friends with the bigger dogs, loves playing with toys and has already learnt to walk on the lead.
He is looking for a home in Thailand he can travel to immediately and would make a lovely addition to any home.

Spock was found hiding under a car, unable to move and screaming in pain after being hit very seriously by a bike. The kind locals who contacted us asking for help said that Spock had been hit before, so he had old injuries too.
It was difficult to get Spock out as he was in agony and scared but he was very brave during his rescue. The accident left Spock with a disclosed hip that needed surgery, and internal injuries making him pee blood. His skin was crawling with fleas and his ears full of ticks and his test showed he was suffering from blood parasites, poor Spock desperately needed treatment.
He travelled to the big hospital on the mainland where he underwent an operation to correct his hip and receive life-saving blood transfusions. Since his return to Happy Doggo land, Spock has worked hard on his physio and has made a fantastic recovery. He walks with a very slight limp and he is no longer in pain.
Spock's very sweet character has also emerged, he is a quiet and gentle dog, who loves being around people, whether that's napping on the sofa in the office or spending time in the kitchen with the staff. He is easy going, no trouble at all and gets on with the other dogs at the land. Spock was named by our online followers as he has lovely big pointy ears!
Spock is now ready to go to a forever home, ideally in Thailand that he could travel to immediately. He loves being able to wander around freely, so he is looking for a home with some outdoor space for him to enjoy.

Some of our most commonly asked questions about adopting a dog from Thailand.
We can currently send dogs to the EU, the UK, and the United States. We can also send dogs to most South East Asian countries, depending on exact quarantine requirements.
Please note that we are only able to send dogs to the following airports in the United States: LAX, ATL, MIA, JFK, PHL, IAD.
For UK adoptions, dogs must fly to Paris before commuting over land into the UK.
There are a lot of factors that go into calculating the final adoption price, but for the EU, UK, and US the cost is typically from USD $1,800 - $3,000. If you are selected to adopt one of our dogs, we will take a $500 deposit up front to cover the cost of food and required vaccinations.
From the time we receive an adoption deposit, you can expect it to take 12 weeks until the dog is ready to travel. This is because there are mandatory minimum waiting times between a dog's vaccinations and required antibody testing.
No, not every dog that we treat will be available for adoption. This could be due to the dog's health, their likeliness to adapt well to a home, or simply because they are happy and well cared for on the street. In addition, some dogs (all snub-nosed/bully breeds) are not permitted on airplanes, so they cannot be re-homed outside of Thailand.
This really depends on the dog and their unique background, but we do not do any behavioural or lifestyle training. You can expect most of our dogs to be able to walk comfortably on leash, but you will likely need to work on house/potty training and basic obedience.
We do our best to match every dog to the best household for their specific requirements. We thoroughly review every application and interview all prospective new parents, and at the end of the day we might match potential adopters with a different dog than they originally applied for.
Some helpful information if you're thinking of adopting a street dog.
All of our dogs traveling overseas need a dedicated flight volunteer to escort them home. If you're flying from Thailand to Europe or the United States, you could help a deserving dog get home.
