Someone like you helped rescue these dogs before they were butchered for their meat. Will you help nurse them back to health by clicking this link?
http://bit.ly/These_Dogs_Need_You
These dogs were snatched from streets and backyards in Thailand and tossed into cramped, filthy cages. The people who stole them planned to skin them alive, throw them into a vat of boiling water, and slaughter them for their meat.

Goodbye, Mr Leonard Nimoy
28th Feb 2015, by AnimalCare
May you be in a peaceful place, Mr Leonard Nimoy.

Leonard Nimoy, 1931 – 2015
We say farewell to the man we all knew as Star Trek’s stoic and faultlessly logical Mr. Spock; Leonard Nimoy was also a gifted poet, musician and photographer. He died on Friday, 27 February.

Protecting The Dianthuses…who From?
28th Feb 2015, by AnimalCare
We don’t know, but it’s very likely Daffodil’s the one who has been “disturbing” the dianthuses and we think it’s because she likes the flowers.
Try as I did, I did not manage to save the two plants, so I procured two replacement plants today.

Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.
28th Feb 2015, by AnimalCare
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. – Michael Pollan” is the best 7-word nutritional advice one can give any human.
An excerpt:
That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.
The whole essay: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine /28nutritionism.t.html?pagewanted=all

"Our gas tank is emptying quickly and we might have just enough gas for another few days," shelter president Danica Mirkovic explains. "Dozens of the Felix kitties are either above 15 years old, chronically ill, or generally in delicate health an...

YOU Can Achieve Miracles With Just A Few Dollars A Week
28th Feb 2015, by Soi Dog Foundation
A group of drunk people slashed me across the head with a knife…. They thought it was funny. I will never forget the terror that ran through me.
My name is Emilia; I am just over a year old. Because of YOU, I am alive today.
Stray dogs like me spend every day of our lives trying not to die. We have no owner; nobody who cares. We have just one hope when we get sick or when we are injured. That hope is you.
When I arrived at the Soi Dog shelter, I was crying in agony and utterly petrified. T...
