We had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Sina.
In the last two years, her journey became increasingly difficult
due to severe hip osteoarthritis.
Sina fought bravely, but as special as she was in life, she was just as
special at the end. She made her own decision, and in her
own quiet way, she left this world.
We are incredibly sad, but also grateful for the time we shared, for
all the moments of closeness, trust, and love she gave us. Sina
will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Farewell, dear Sina.
We miss you โ but you
remain. ๐พ๐ค
Our sweet temple dog Amber was hit by a car or motorbike, leaving her in severe pain and unable to walk properly. ๐๐
For two long weeks she suffered, until we finally managed to get her X-ray, which showed her hip had completely jumped out of the socket. ๐ฉป๐ข
The diagnosis was clear:
Amber needed urgent surgery to have any chance of walking without pain again. ๐ฅ๐
Thanks to all the amazing people who donated, we were able to give her the treatment she desperately needed. ๐โจ
Her operation went well, and today Amber is back with us โ on medications, wearing her collar, and beginning her journey of healing. ๐ถ๐ฉบ๐ฟ
In one week, her stitches will be removed, and then her rehabilitation can begin, step by step. ๐ช๐พ
To everyone who supported, shared, donated, or kept Amber in their hearts:
Thank you. You made this miracle possible. ๐
Gipsy, Mimi, Grumpy, Mila Cuteness Overload ๐พ๐ These adorable puppies are still waiting for their forever homes ๐ก๐ Who can resist these little faces? ๐๐ #AdoptDontShop"
Unbelievable ๐๐พ โฆ Two tiny groups of puppies, maybe just 3 weeks oldโฆ One litter of 5 babies without their mama ๐ข and another litter of 6 with their exhausted mother ๐ถ๐.
All of them covered in ticks ๐ท๏ธ, fleas ๐ชณ, and with swollen little bellies from wormsโฆ lying right next to a dangerous road ๐๐จ.
It breaks my heart ๐๐ to see such innocent souls fighting to survive in such dangerous and painful conditions ๐ข๐.They have no real shelter, only open huts with no protection ๐๏ธโฆ and now the rainy season has started ๐ง๏ธ๐ข. It is heartbreaking to imagine them there, cold, wet, and unsafe
They deserve love, care, safety, and a chance at life ๐กโค๏ธ.
๐น Iโll share the videos so you can see the realityโฆ Please keep them in your thoughts ๐โจ.
๐พ All temple dogs are doing well โ only Coffee is still fighting with her illness ๐.
Today everyone ate happily ๐๐ tails wagging, hearts full ๐ถโจ.
If youโd like to support their food and care, every little bit makes a difference ๐โค๏ธ๐พ
Today we received Coffeeโs latest blood test results. Unfortunately, there is no good news: her creatinine level has risen from 5โฏmg/dl to 7.5โฏmg/dl despite daily IVs ๐ and medication ๐.
We know this likely means the end for her ๐ข. Despite all efforts and daily medical care ๐ฉบ, we continue to give her love โค๏ธ, warmth ๐ธ, and care โ every day counts.
In August 2016, Coffee was abandoned at the temple in Nairai ๐.
After she was spayed, our sweet girl turned into a little chubby queen ๐๐พ.
Some time later, she injured her paw โ her toe had been ripped off ๐ข.
When her fur got really matted โ๏ธ, thankfully, a dear friend of mine came to help and shaved her.
Sadly, we now suspect blood parasites. Coffee lost already 10 kg! ๐คThe vet has taken a blood sample ๐ฉธ ๐ and Coffee got some sad news from the vet:
๐พ She has kidney failure, anemia, and also a parasite (Dirofilaria repens) that comes from mosquitoes.
She will now get daily IV fluid under the skin, medicine and monthly parasite protection.
Weโre hoping and praying sheโll be back to her happy, healthy self soon ๐โค๏ธ๐ถ.We will give her all the love and care she needs โค๏ธ๐ถโจ
๐๐พ Molly from Nairai School got into a fight and tore part of her paw cushion. Thanks to the teacher who asked for help, i brought her to the vet today. The torn piece had to be removed, but sheโs now on meds, her paw is covered, and sheโll get daily wound care. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Sheโs a brave girl, and with love + treatment sheโll be back on her paws soon! ๐ถโจ
๐ Our little Mucki found her forever home today!
A kind man from Rayong adopted her โ and the best part: there's already a furry friend waiting for her there! ๐ถ๐พ
All the best on your journey, sweet girl โ may your life be full of love and tail wags! ๐

Little Mila, just 8 weeks oldโฆ and already her third visit to the vet ๐๐ถ Another wound, another treatment โ life hasnโt been kind to her so far. But this tiny soul keeps fighting, and weโll keep fighting for her ๐๐ฉบ๐พ
Mustiโs had a rough few weeks.
First, someone actually shot her with a bow and arrow. Unbelievable, but true.
Then, just as her wound started healing, she got into a nasty territory fight โ with bite wounds on her neck and front leg.See previous blogs.
But after almost five weeks of daily care, cleaning, patience, and love... sheโs finally healed.
Huge thanks to my Greatcousin Pascal โ couldnโt have done it without you! ๐พ๐
Today is a very special day: Our beloved Sina turns 16. ๐พ
Back in 2009, we found her and her sister on the beach. They were just two little souls, quietly waiting for someone to care. Sina was the very first dog we took in โ the one who started it all. Since then, so much has changed, but Sina has always been there.
Now sheโs our oldest. A wise old lady with a soft heart. Her hips ache with arthritis, and her eyesight has faded over time. But her love for food โ and for being close to us โ hasnโt changed one bit.
Her favorite place? Right beside me in the kitchen while I cook, hoping something delicious might just fall to the floor. She knows exactly how to look at me to get a little treat โ sheโs had years to perfect that look!
Happy Birthday, old girl. You are truly one of a kind. ๐
Tiny puppy,named Mila, only 4 weeks old with big wound. Mila is now under my care. Already received Tick+Flea protection. She will be vaccined for the first time next week. Mila is hoping to find her "forever Home" soon. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting Mila.
Saddly our worry "Musti" of the last 3 weeks, got now into a fight with other strays and she suffered 2 new big wounds.So it was time to see the vet again.
Musti, she was shot with a bow and arrow,the arrow went through the body,people from the weekly market at the temple informed me. After that she was hiding for 5 days, until she showed up again at the temple. She suffered a big bullet wound,already smelling bad, in her back. Fortunately, no internal organs were damaged. Musti needs wound care and medicine every day.
This website has only been online for a few days โ so the blog currently contains just a few entries. But after 16 years of caring for street dogs here in Thailand, there are so many stories to tell: heartbreaking emergencies, tragic losses from disease outbreaks, but also uplifting tales that began in despair and ended in hope. So please donโt be surprised if the blog still looks a bit empty for now.
