"AMOS" WANTS SOMEONE TO LOVE!...This cuddly little girl was found on the streets of Phuket as a tiny puppy & grew up in our Puppy run. She's now 9 months old & ready for life with a family. Amos adores volunteers (Line & Tone) - regular Soi Dog volunteers who spend lots of time with her. They'd love Amos to find a home with lots of loving care. She is a very special little dog & has won their hearts completely. The photos speak for themselves! Amos can be adopted locally or abroad.
See Amos's...

"MERLINWIZ" - DUMPED & FORGOTTEN.... WE NEED TO FIND HIM SPONSORS This old boy was discovered by a foreigner at Patong Beach. He's an old dog (approx 9 years of age) & he was found wandering around the beach in a very CONFUSED & DIS-ORIENTATED state. We're not sure how Merlinwiz ended up at the beach, but he appeared to have been DUMPED by someone. He could barely see as he had lots of discharge from his eyes (due to his age) & the poor boy was totally bewildered.
He's now safe in our "Old...

People…people Who Need People… 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
…are the luckiest people…in the world.
Indeed, they are.
“People” is one of my all-time favourite songs by one of my all-time favourite singers, Barbra Streisand. Who do you think accompanied me tonight as I glued myself to the TV (one of those rare occasions where I have time for such luxury) to watch Barbra Streisand’s 1967 Central Park performance…?
Pole seems to share my taste of music…
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs ...

The Poor Baby Alligator/crocodile 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/01/26/updates-o n-the-baby-alligator-nandhinis/
Nandhini says the Wildlife Dept informed her that that restaurant owner has the license to keep the baby crocodile.
Now, that is sad. The poor thing belongs in the wild.
Updates at 9.00am (27th Jan) – Have just checked. If the Wildlife Dept says “ok”, there is no higher authority to appeal to when it comes to wild animals.

Photo Feature 26th Jan 2012, by Soi Dog Foundation
THE LOVELY LUNA... This dear little girl was rescued from "Dog Island" during the Bangkok Floods. She has limited sight, but is a sweet dog & loves people. She's currently living in our Old Age Dog Run, as with her sight problems we feel she'd be more comfortable with the slower, elderly residents. So far she's doing fine & really loves it when people come & visit her.
Luna's only 2 years old & we don't want her to spend her entire life in a shelter. She'd make a lovely pet with someone special...

A New Cat On The Block? 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
We’ve been having many human as well as cat visitors ever since we moved in.
Well, there are Mr Gorilla, Shadow, a ginger cat (good friends with Mr Gorilla) and the Snow White Sisters (an adult version of the Blueys).
Today, we had another visitor….
It looks like a bluepoint and it’s a female. The poor little kitty was mewing quite a bit. I put some Go! kibbles out for her but she did not eat any, just kept mewing and mewing, trying to tell me something. Her voice was also v...

Indy And Bobby’s Acupuncture 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Today, Dr Susanna came over for Indy and Bobby’s acupuncture.
Indy is still anaemic (from the paleness of the mucus membrane), but Dr S said the animal’s clinical condition is a better gauge than anything else, so since Indy appears to be fine, it should not be a cause for grave or immediate concern or worry. Indy has been behaving very normally and very “Indy-ly” ever since the last treatment. It was like an immediate total recovery for him. But this time, we are not ta...

Do You Dry-Pill Your Animal? 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
That means, do you, like me, force-feed your animal a pill or capsule without giving it liquids?
If you do, you may wish to read this: http://catinfo.org/?link=pillingcats
ItR 17;s from Dr Susanna.
I think it makes a lot of sense. Just thinking about how painful it is for us to swallow a pill dry, I already feel the pain in my throat! It also causes possible abrasions to the animals’ esophagus.
The link offers alternatives.

Updates On Cucu, Rehomed Elderly Cat 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
My cousin, Lilian, asked for help in rehoming her domestic helper’s cat when the latter went back to the Philippines way back in August 2009. Lilian has 4 dogs and her helper looked after this cat, called Cucu. After the helper left, there was no one to look after Cucu anymore and Lilian wanted a better home for Cucu.
So, I blogged and around September 2009, we found a home for Cucu. Cucu was already at least 7 years old at that time. But being possibly of some breed (or cross-bred), there...

Pole News For The Day 26th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
This morning, Pole made no attempt at all to get up on the gutter-ledge. Has she already conceded defeat??
Instead, today’s mission is to “gazelle” over the cat-grille, to explore the rest of the house.
It looks like she only wanted to explore the rest of the house, so she went upstairs and downstairs, on a self-guided tour.
After about half an hour, she started calling (for help?) from the foyer. I carried her back into Bunny’s Room only to have her gazelle over the ...
