Photos From Soi Dog Foundation's Post

Remember me, Jaysen? I’m just a baby boy, barely three months old. But instead of getting all the cuddles and love little puppies who have their own humans get, I got a horrendous injury. I was also homeless and hungry, suffering all by myself.

But thanks to the wonderful supporters of Soi Dog Foundation, I am so much better now! They rescued me from my desperate situation. Please give to them now to help other animals like me at https://bit.ly/SaveLittleJaysen

Every pup needs his mother, especially one as little as I am. But my mum was long gone. I don’t know what happened to her, but I miss and needed her, especially after I got hurt.

I was lucky. Someone who really cares about animals saw me at the military camp I was living behind and contacted Soi Dog. I’m so tiny, I don’t know how he even noticed me.

But he did – and thank goodness, because my wound was getting bigger and bigger. Maggots had gotten into it and were eating away at it, and the skin around it was starting to rot away. It’s a horrible thing to happen to any animal. But on a tiny boy like me, the gaping wound took up a big part of my little body.

Soi Dog came and collected me and took me to their hospital. Being such a cute little guy, I got looked at straight away! OK, I have to admit they do that with all their patients.

The Soi Dog vets carefully and gently cleaned my wound, which was severely infected and filled with pus. It was about 3 centimeters around. Imagine that on a puppy my size! I had some smaller wounds, too. They gave me antibiotics to help them all heal. A month later, my wounds are almost a thing of the past, even that awful, big one. Just take a look at my new pictures!

I have been getting nice baths in a special shampoo to fight a fungus on my body. And my anaemia, which I developed because I couldn’t get enough nutritious food, is much improved. The vets here are also looking after a place where I lost some hair due to a skin disease, and are monitoring a minor issue with my private bits.

My appetite, which I’d lost due to stress, has returned. I’m eating well and growing like crazy! I don’t have to worry about finding food anymore, thank goodness, so the depression I’d already developed in my short but hard life has disappeared.

Now I’m a happy little pup, thanks to people like you, who really, really love animals, and believe we all deserve to thrive, not struggle to survive.

I have a bright future ahead, thanks to Soi Dog’s amazing supporters. I just wish I could say the same about Thailand’s other homeless dogs and cats. Sadly, there are countless ones out there, in constant danger of getting hurt or sick, or abused by cruel humans.

Will you help Soi Dog Foundation be ready to help those pups and kitties? It’s only a matter of time – maybe only minutes – before their vets will need to treat their next unlucky emergency patient. https://bit.ly/SaveLittleJaysen

Thank you for caring so much about animals like me.
