Adoptable dogs

Taylor street dog adoption

McFlurry

McFlurry is a sweet Ridgeback mix who previously lived on a construction site on Koh Samui. She was cared for by the workers, but was sadly left behind when construction finished.

She was then supported by local community feeders, who brought her to our attention after she suffered a severe injury to her leg.
‍
Despite our best efforts to rehabilitate her, it was unfortunately too late, and the decision was made to amputate the leg due to the severity of the injury.
‍
McFlurry quickly adapted to life on three legs, and now walks, runs, and plays with confidence. She is very friendly towards other dogs and has a natural ability to charm every person she meets.

She is gentle, affectionate, and ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family of her own.
‍
She is looking for a home either in Thailand or abroad, and would make a lovely addition to any household, though may be better suited to live with older children.
‍
Sex: Female
Approximate Age: 1 year 3 months
Weight: 11.7 kg

Timothee

Timothee is a playful Husky who has overcome so much in his short life and is now ready to find a loving forever home of his own.

He had a heartbreaking start to life, spending his first six months confined to a tiny cage. As a result, his back legs were severely underdeveloped, and when he was first rescued, he could barely walk.

With months of dedicated care, hydrotherapy and physiotherapy from our team, he has made incredible progress and is now absolutely thriving!

Timothee is a friendly, sociable boy who gets on well with other dogs and adores people. He has so much love to give and will bring so much fun and joy to his future family.

After such a difficult start, Timothee deserves a home where he can continue to flourish.

He is looking for a home in Thailand and would make a lovely addition to any household, though may be better suited to older children due to his size.
‍
Sex: Male
Approximate Age: 9 months
Weight: 23kg

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.
