Jimbo is a lovely little dog with lovely big ears!
When he was found wandering around an abandoned building site he was in a very sorry state; hungry, injured with sore skin and patchy fur.
He was brought to Happy Doggo land where it was discovered that he was suffering from a blood parasite infection, malnutrition and skin disease.
Since receiving treatment Jimbo's health has improved significantly, he is looking and feeling so much better and he is enjoying life at the the land.
He is a very popular character and loves being around people. He enjoys spending the day supervising the kitchen team, hoping to get a few snacks, which has helped with his weight gain!
Jimbo loves human attention so he would really suit living in a home and would make a very nice little companion. He would be best suited as the only dog in the house.

Rocky is a special dog who is now looking for a special home of his own.
Poor Rocky was found by some kind people who then called Niall for help. He was in a terrible state and rescued just in time and he probably wouldn't have survived much longer. He was very scared and hungry and very weak, just skin and bones. Sadly he had been dumped on a beach and left all alone because he was old, sick and blind and no longer wanted.
He was brought to Happy Doggo land to recover, unfortunately his test results were very bad and we didn't know if he would survive the night.
As his name suggests Rocky defied the odds and has made a remarkable recovery, he has put on weight and even regained sight in one eye. His confidence has also grown, he is a friendly and inquisitive dog who loves human attention and is enjoying his new lease of life, especially trips to the beach and eating smoked salmon!
Rocky has fitted in nicely to the retirement village with the other elderly dogs, where he particularly likes having his own converted crate as a bed, he enjoys the safety of his own enclosed space.
Rocky is now looking for a forever retirement home. He would be best suited to experienced owners who could come and meet him and offer him a peaceful and quiet place of his own.

Trooper is a very good-natured dog but sadly he had a difficult start in life.
He survived living on the streets whilst being blind in one eye and unfortunately, one day while searching for food he ate a piece of sponge and fishing net, causing serious intestinal problems.
He needed urgent surgery, so was sent to the big hospital on the mainland as an emergency. He underwent a very serious operation and a large part of his intestine had to be removed, poor Trooper is lucky to be alive!
He returned to Happy Doggo land after the surgery and has since made a fantastic recovery. He does however need a little extra help to stay healthy. He has a big appetite and needs a special kibble diet 3 times a day, he also receives medication to support his pancreas.
He can only see in one eye, but he isn't letting that hold him back! As he has recovered, Trooper's character has also shone though, he is a very friendly and lively dog and a favourite amongst staff. He is young and playful and gets along well with other dogs.
He loves human attention and would would thrive in the right home. He loves going for walks and is quite strong on the lead, so he would be best suited to an adopter who has an active lifestyle to share with him.

Followers will know Anthony as one of the dogs enjoying the retirement village at Happy Doggo land.
Unfortunately, life wasn't always so easy for poor Anthony who had a tough time on the streets. We rescued him after receiving reports from worried tourists who had spotted a dog with red raw skin and barely any fur who was clearly in desperate need of help.
He turned out to be one of our most challenging rescues as Anthony was in so much pain that he became aggressive and wouldn't let anyone near him. We eventually managed to get him to the land for him to receive treatment.
As he got some relief from the pain and his skin started to heal, Anthony calmed down and a much more mellow character started to emerge. He was never a vicious dog, he was just in agony.
His recovery took a long time but his transformation has been amazing, he is now unrecognisable from the dog that was brought in the land 2 years ago. His fur has grown back, he is feeling so much better and enjoying his new lease of life.
His social circle has expanded and he has now got both human and dog friends he loves going for walks with. Anthony can be unsure of new people at first and he does still does have the occasional grumble but he is a funny and charming character. He is looking for experienced owners who can offer him a retirement home of his own.

Skye is a very sweet little dog who sadly had a tough start in life. She was found abandoned on a building site as a small puppy, injured after being hit by a car and with no mother around to look after her, luckily she was rescued in time and brought to Happy Doggo land.
Skye was very shy at first and tried to hide, recently however, she has really started to come out of her shell and is enjoying life at the land. Her lovely character is shining through, her confidence has grown and she has become great friends with Rod Stewart.
She likes being fed treats by the staff in the office, enjoys human attention and has learnt to walk on the lead.Skye has received treatment for her injured leg and has made a fantastic recovery.
She has been practicing her walking and although she still has a slight limp, this will improve as she grows and shouldn't cause her any problems.
Skye is ready to go a home in Thailand where she will thrive with a family of her own.

Some of our most commonly asked questions about adopting a dog from Thailand.
We can currently send dogs to the EU, the UK, and the United States. We can also send dogs to most South East Asian countries, depending on exact quarantine requirements.
Please note that we are only able to send dogs to the following airports in the United States: LAX, ATL, MIA, JFK, PHL, IAD.
For UK adoptions, dogs must fly to Paris before commuting over land into the UK.
There are a lot of factors that go into calculating the final adoption price, but for the EU, UK, and US the cost is typically from USD $1,800 - $3,000. If you are selected to adopt one of our dogs, we will take a $500 deposit up front to cover the cost of food and required vaccinations.
From the time we receive an adoption deposit, you can expect it to take 12 weeks until the dog is ready to travel. This is because there are mandatory minimum waiting times between a dog's vaccinations and required antibody testing.
No, not every dog that we treat will be available for adoption. This could be due to the dog's health, their likeliness to adapt well to a home, or simply because they are happy and well cared for on the street. In addition, some dogs (all snub-nosed/bully breeds) are not permitted on airplanes, so they cannot be re-homed outside of Thailand.
This really depends on the dog and their unique background, but we do not do any behavioural or lifestyle training. You can expect most of our dogs to be able to walk comfortably on leash, but you will likely need to work on house/potty training and basic obedience.
We do our best to match every dog to the best household for their specific requirements. We thoroughly review every application and interview all prospective new parents, and at the end of the day we might match potential adopters with a different dog than they originally applied for.
Some helpful information if you're thinking of adopting a street dog.
All of our dogs traveling overseas need a dedicated flight volunteer to escort them home. If you're flying from Thailand to Europe or the United States, you could help a deserving dog get home.
