Karhus Finds His Winter Wonderland. Karhus Isn't Y..

 




Karhus finds his winter wonderland!

Karhus isn’t your typical soi dog. How this lovable purebred Alaskan Malamute found his way to Thailand remains a mystery, but he was brought to the Soi Dog sanctuary in June 2016 by a tourist who found him chained up and abandoned in a shop driveway.

A gentle giant with gorgeous golden eyes and the fluffiest of coats, Karhus quickly won the hearts of staff, volunteers and our supporters around the world. He was also a hit with local expat couple Heather and John Gow who welcomed him into their family here in Phuket in August last year.

However, it quickly became clear to them that Karhus simply wasn’t built for the tropical Thai climate, and it was time to introduce him to cooler climes where he belongs.

The couple contacted us in December to help relocate Karhus to Alberta, Canada, where they spend much of their time. Flying this 40-kilogram Malamute halfway around the world was no mean feat, but our logistics coordinator found a way, and Karhus arrived safe and sound in January this year.

Finally home, Karhus settled in almost immediately, bounding around in the deep snow, exploring igloos and working out what all his fur is for! Never was a dog more deserving of feeling the fresh snow between his paws than Karhus, and we are thrilled to see him thrive in his new home and his true habitat.
