Some of my favorite pics from our rescues in the past
We have rescued a lot of dogs over the past 4 years and we like to believe that we, along with the help of some of our neighboring institutions such as Lanta Animal Welfare and The Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket, that we have made a real difference to the well-being and quality of life for the animals of this part of Thailand.
Here are some photos from the recent past that stick out in my mind as being special.
It looks cute but this duck bill is actually a muzzle because a lot of the dogs that we bring in for treatments are very afraid and even though what we are doing for them is for their own good they sometimes lash out and try to bite us. We have to be very careful.
Shots of pups being reunited with mum always make me happy!
This photo was a special moment in time because it was when we partnered with the monks at this particular temple and our decision to work together has made everything at that temple a lot easier to manage. From that day they stay in contact with us to let us know about any problems or new additions to the pack there. This would be nearly impossible for us to manage without their help.
It isn't always easy for us to win over the dogs at various areas and get them to trust us. Even though we have their best interests in mind dogs are very territorial and especially with dogs that have been abused they are reluctant to trust humans. It takes some time but with some tenderness and of course a little bit of chicken, they learn that we are not there to hurt them.
This one makes me smile when I see it because the monks at these temples miss their favorite dogs when we take them away for surgery or other treatment. The look of joy on his face makes me happy as well.
Lastly, we have a pic of this little cutie. We focus primarily on dogs at Krabi Animal Welfare but we also help as many cats as we possibly can. They are just a bit trickier to help because they tend to be solitary creatures rather than existing in packs. It is difficult to imagine but someone abandoned this little cute kitty. Thankfully the kitten was quickly adopted and is now enjoying a forever home in Thailand.

It really warms my heart to see posts like this @kbv.animalwelf. Animals cannot speak for themselves... not in a way which we can understand anyway - so witnessing such wonderful human compassion these beautiful souls is really touching!
We used to have cats, but sadly both have left us now and we only have a dog. He is a rescue as well... so I totally understand the whole muzzle thingy...
He is very insecure and petrified of pretty much everything and everyone until he gets to know you... so he too, can snap when he feels threatened. It is just him trying to protect himself - not that he is actually aggressive.
When we walk him, we noticed that every house that had dogs which we walked passed he would start almost "sneezing" haha!!! It was so odd and we could never understand why... then one day I read somewhere that that is actually the dogs way of letting other dogs know that he does not want to fight!
Pretty cool I thought :)
I wish you all the best in continuing what you do and I hope you receive all the support you need both in real life and on here too!
Much love!

Thanks a bunch!
There are a few families that have taken on animals here that had severe anxiety and it takes a special kind of care to look after dogs like this. We don't know what caused their trauma, but have to be mindful of the fact that whatever it was, it can turn them violent quickly.
I have never heard of that sneezing thing but that is interesting. I'll be looking out for that in the future now that you have mentioned it :)
Thanks for all of your kind words. It is nice to meet a fellow animal lover out there!
Thanks for sharing such an awesome post
