Adoptable dogs

Taylor street dog adoption

Trooper

Trooper is a very good-natured dog but sadly he had a difficult start in life.

He survived living on the streets whilst being blind in one eye and unfortunately, one day while searching for food he ate a piece of sponge and fishing net, causing serious intestinal problems.

He needed urgent surgery, so was sent to the big hospital on the mainland as an emergency. He underwent a very serious operation and a large part of his intestine had to be removed, poor Trooper is lucky to be alive!

He returned to Happy Doggo land after the surgery and has since made a fantastic recovery. He does however need a little extra help to stay healthy. He has a big appetite and needs a special kibble diet 3 times a day, he also receives medication to support his pancreas.

He can only see in one eye, but he isn't letting that hold him back! As he has recovered, Trooper's character has also shone though, he is a very friendly and lively dog and a favourite amongst staff. He is young and playful and gets along well with other dogs.

He loves human attention and would would thrive in the right home. He loves going for walks and is quite strong on the lead, so he would be best suited to an adopter who has an active lifestyle to share with him.

Sex: Male
Approximate Age: 2 years old
Weight: 15.8kg

Anthony Hopkins

Followers will know Anthony as one of the dogs enjoying the retirement village at Happy Doggo land.

Unfortunately, life wasn't always so easy for poor Anthony who had a tough time on the streets. We rescued him after receiving reports from worried tourists who had spotted a dog with red raw skin and barely any fur who was clearly in desperate need of help.

He turned out to be one of our most challenging rescues as Anthony was in so much pain that he became aggressive and wouldn't let anyone near him. We eventually managed to get him to the land for him to receive treatment.

As he got some relief from the pain and his skin started to heal, Anthony calmed down and a much more mellow character started to emerge. He was never a vicious dog, he was just in agony.

His recovery took a long time but his transformation has been amazing, he is now unrecognisable from the dog that was brought in the land 2 years ago. His fur has grown back, he is feeling so much better and enjoying his new lease of life.

His social circle has expanded and he has now got both human and dog friends he loves going for walks with. Anthony can be unsure of new people at first and he does still does have the occasional grumble but he is a funny and charming character. He is looking for experienced owners who can offer him a retirement home of his own.

Sex: Male
Approximate Age: 8 years old
Weight: 23.5 kg

Nutella

Nutella is a lively young dog with a lovely friendly nature who sadly went through a difficult and painful ordeal.  

Poor Nutella was in a very bad state when he was brought to Happy Doggo land, he was suffering from a severe rectal prolapse causing him agonising pain and discomfort. He underwent an operation to correct it and the good news is that since the treatment Nutella has made a full recovery and is now feeling himself again and enjoying life at the land.

Nutella would make a lovely addition to any household and  would thrive with a family of his own. He loves being around people, gets on well with the other dogs and happily joins in on group walks. He is still full of puppy energy so he is looking for a home that can offer him plenty of exercise as well as lots of play and attention. He is a handsome dog who is still growing and might turn into quite a big boy!

Nutella is ready to go to a new home, so a home in Thailand that he could go to now is preferred

Sex: Male
Approximate Age: 1 year old
Weight: 10.9 kg

Skye

Skye is a very sweet little dog who sadly had a tough start in life. She was found abandoned on a building site as a small puppy, injured after being hit by a car and with no mother around to look after her, luckily she was rescued in time and brought to Happy Doggo land.

Skye was very shy at first and tried to hide, recently however, she has really started to come out of her shell and is enjoying life at the land. Her lovely character is shining through, her confidence has grown and she has become great friends with Rod Stewart.

She likes being fed treats by the staff in the office, enjoys human attention and has learnt to walk on the lead.Skye has received treatment for her injured leg and has made a fantastic recovery.

She has been practicing her walking and although she still has a slight limp, this will improve as she grows and shouldn't cause her any problems.

Skye is ready to go a home in Thailand where she will thrive with a family of her own.

Sex: Female
Approximate Age: Under 6 months old

FAQs

Some of our most commonly asked questions about adopting a dog from Thailand.

Which countries are eligible for international adoptions?

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.

How much does it cost to adopt a dog from Thailand?

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.

How long does the adoption process take?

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.

Are all dogs available for adoption?

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.

What kind of training do your dogs have?

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.

How do you choose who gets to adopt?

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.

Help a dog get to their forever home

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.

Meet some of our Happy Doggos

Here are just a few of the dogs that we've helped, whose lives and stories have captivated people all over the world. It's these dogs that make us do the work we do.

Tina

If one dog could change the world, it's Tina. Rescued after a lifetime of mistreatment, Tina was the sweetest and most loving dog you could ever meet.

Her life with us was too short, but her memory and legacy will live on in Tina's Hospital.

Hope

The first ever Happy Doggo to be adopted, Hope came to us after being slashed by a machete and shot with a nail gun.

She had completely shut down. But with a lot of love and patience, Hope is now living an incredible life in the UK.

Whacker

Whacker (or King Whacker) was found with a gaping wound to his head. Someone had hit him with a pick-axe, and they were a few milimetres away from killing him.

He's now enjoying life in Glasgow with his little brother Cooper.
