Coco Chanel came to us in a pretty sad state, with slashed legs and a prolapsed uterus. She underwent surgery for the prolapse and got stitches for the leg wounds, and both have healed nicely. She had previously been cared for by a lovely family, but they agreed that it was best to find her a new home as she clearly wasn’t safe in the neighbourhood.
Coco Chanel is friends with the soft gang, very good natured, calm, and affectionate towards humans. She would do well as an only dog, but could be a good fit with a gentle dog companion!

Lionel Messi (affectionately called Leo) is a brave and resilient dog. He was found in the jungle with his front left paw hanging off. We’re unsure exactly how he sustained the injury—he could have been hit by a car, attacked, or caught in a trap a while ago. He went through an amputation surgery to remove part of his leg to prevent further complications.
Since then, Leo has been learning to walk with a prosthetic leg. Despite everything he’s been through, Leo is full of energy and loves nothing more than spending time with humans!
Leo would not be suited to a home with other male dogs. An ideal owner would have experience with disabled dogs, but the most important thing is having the time and patience to help him learn how to use his prosthesis. Leo is a high energy dog that loves nothing more than playing and going for walks!

Prince was spotted with another husky, Bowie outside an empty villa on the island. We believe he previously had owners who abandoned him there. We wanted to help him but he went missing for many weeks and when he was eventually rescued he was extremely underweight, his thin body hidden under so much fluffy fur.
Poor Prince had been so hungry living on the streets that he had resorted to eating sand and rocks, causing very painful digestive blockages for him.
Prince is a good natured dog, who enjoys walks and human attention. He is now eating well and putting weight back on. He gets on with other dogs at the land and could live in a home with female dogs but he would not be suited to a home with other male dogs. Prince has a lot of fur so would need a new family who are able to help maintain it with the appropriate grooming.
Thailand is far too hot for him so we are hoping to find a home for Prince in a much cooler climate!

Pippilotta was abandoned as a small puppy and found in a terrible state by a local. She had likely been hit by a car, and was lying on the ground unable to get up. Sybille took her in and treated her injuries with physiotherapy, and thankfully she’s now able to walk again! She’s currently living in foster with Sybille and is named Pippilotta after Pippi Långstrump/ Pippi Longstocking.
Pippi and is a sweet, inquisitive, and gentle dog. She gets along well with the “soft” dogs and is growing in confidence every day. She loves attention from people, and she’s a quick learner. Pippi would do very well in a home with another soft dog to learn from and play with. As she is still just a puppy, her personality will continue to emerge as she gains more confidence.

Marshmallow is Candy's lovely sister! They were found together, having been abandoned on a building site where they were living under an old metal sheet. Marshmallow was very frightened so it wasn't easy to rescue her and she was still very shy and nervous when she arrived at Happy Doggo land.
Being with her sister has boosted her confidence and Marshmallow has really come out of her shell in the past week. She is starting to enjoy the company of people and some other dogs and she is becoming more inquisitive and playful. She is a sweet puppy and has a nice ridge along her back.
Marshmallow is ready to go to a forever home. She would really benefit from an environment where he can spend more time with people as she grows up, so a forever home in Thailand she could go to now would be ideal for her.

Butterscotch was found by a temple with horribly matted fur. She was covered in fleas, mites, and open wounds. We brought her to the land to clean her up, and later discovered she was also suffering from blood parasites. She’s now getting all the treatment she needs to make a full recovery, and is too gentle to be put back on the streets.
Butterscotch is very sweet and affectionate. She loves people, gets on well with the other dogs, and always wants to be around someone. For this reason, she would be best suited to a home where she will not be left alone for long periods of time. A calm dog would be a fine companion, but she would also be great as an only dog.

Hank - Thailand Only
Hank is a loveable, friendly, and calm middle-aged guy. He was previously owned, but his family decided to surrender him because of the costs associated with keeping him.
Hank gets along well with all humans, including kids, but he could accidentally knock them over. He's friendly with other dogs, but would enjoy a home where he's the only dog. He walks well (but slowly) on leash, loves to run, and is pretty good with all basic training. Because of his size, he would be best suited to an experienced owner.

Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman was dumped at a busy pier towards the end of Covid. She tried to integrate herself into a few different packs but she was never successful and regularly got attacked by the other dogs. She eventually gave up and has spent the last year living by herself and trying to survive.
She is a very gentle and submissive dog, who has always loved human attention. She greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and would love nothing more than to spend her days with a quiet family who will teach her that the world isn't as scary as she thinks.

Kate Moss
Kate Moss is still just a puppy, but she has been through so much already. Found dumped with her sister Sophie at an abandoned construction site, we rescued her in very difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, only weeks later she contracted Parvo and very nearly didn't make it.
Kate Moss is very nervous and distrustful of humans, but she is slowly learning that ear scratches are nice, especially if they come with food. She is more reserved than her sister Sophie, and will likely always be a timid dog. Building up her confidence and trust will take time, so a very gentle and patient home is key.
Sex: Female
Approximate Age: 5 Months
Tommy
Tommy was hit by a car at a young age, and suffered a broken hip and femur. After an operation and a few months of recovery, he has regained almost full mobility, although he'll always have slightly limited physical abilities so he may not be the best long-distance running partner.
Tommy is a very energetic and playful dog and he's full of puppy energy. He genuinely wants to be friends with everyone he meets and is up for anything. He would do well in almost any environment, provided he gets the proper training and socialization early on.

Sophie
Sophie is still just a puppy, but she has been through so much already. Found dumped with her sister at an abandoned construction site, we rescued her in very difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, only weeks later she contracted Parvo and very nearly didn't make it.
Sophie is still very nervous, but she is showing signs of curiosity and getting braver every day! She's very interested in other dogs, and will likely be a great companion to another dog. With her inquisitive nature, we think she will blossom into quite an outgoing and social dog one day!

The Minogue Sisters
Dannii and her sister Kylie Minogue have spent the last 3 years living at a busy pier. They never fully integrated into any pack, and they have historically been wary of humans and other dogs.
Since coming to live at the shelter, they have become very attached and affectionate towards humans. They are exuberant and playful dogs who are very tightly bonded to one another. We would love to find a home for these two sisters together and think they would thrive in an active house, ideally with a large fenced yard to play in.

Weight: 10kg, 12kg
Stitch
Stitch was hit by two cars as a young puppy and he suffered broken hips, a shattered hip socket, and a broken femur. After an extensive operation and months of targeted rehabilitation, he is now able to walk again.
Stitch is a very energetic, affectionate, and loving dog. He gets along well with most other dogs, but is showing some signs of resource guarding and can get jealous when he doesn't get all the attention. As a typical "teenager" he would be best suited to a home with an experienced dog owner who can teach him proper boundaries and socialization.

Some of our most commonly asked questions about adopting 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.
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.

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.

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 (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.
