Adoptable dogs

Taylor street dog adoption

Panda

Panda was found on the streets in a terrible condition. We think he previously had owners who abandoned him when they left the island, and he ended up living outside a shop where he was overfed snacks by passers-by.

When he was rescued he was so overweight he could barely move. He was brought to Happy Doggo land to begin his recovery and it was found that Panda was very unwell with a serious liver condition. Panda has since made a fantastic recovery and his tests results show massive improvement.

He is energetic, loves joining in on walks and is enjoying a much healthier lifestyle. What Panda loves more than anything is being around people in the office and he is very popular with everyone at Happy Doggo Land. Panda is a good natured, easy going, fun and loving dog. He gets on well with other dogs and he would make a lovely addition to any household, especially one where someone is around most of the day. He is ready to go today, so a home in Thailand would be ideal but not required!

Taylor street dog adoption

Britney

Britney was found with her litter of young puppies, living under a digger in a very bad state. Someone had put a heavy chain and padlock around her neck and she was completely unapproachable. We're not sure of Britney's past, but she had clearly been abused and neglected by people; it is possible she had been used for fighting.

Britney has been at Happy Doggo Land for 2.5 years, and has mostly been kept separated from other dogs and only walked by a handful of people. There has, however, been a big change in Britney lately! She's no longer snarly towards strangers, but approaches in a friendly and playful way. She's expanded her social circle and has learnt to enjoy attention from lots of different people and some dogs too!

Britney is looking for experienced dog owners who have experience with reactive dogs and are willing to come to Thailand to meet her in person. She will need to be the only dog in the home and will require careful introductions to other dogs. That said, he has a huge amount of energy, love, and affection to offer the right family and we're confident that she will absolutely blossom in the right home!

FAQs

Some of our most commonly asked questions about adopting a dog from Thailand.

Which countries are eligible for international adoptions?

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.

How much does it cost to adopt a dog from Thailand?

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.

How long does the adoption process take?

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.

Are all dogs available for adoption?

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.

What kind of training do your dogs have?

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.

How do you choose who gets to adopt?

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.

Help a dog get to their forever home

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.

Meet some of our Happy Doggos

Here are just a few of the dogs that we've helped, whose lives and stories have captivated people all over the world. It's these dogs that make us do the work we do.

Tina

If one dog could change the world, it's Tina. Rescued after a lifetime of mistreatment, Tina was the sweetest and most loving dog you could ever meet.

Her life with us was too short, but her memory and legacy will live on in Tina's Hospital.

Hope

The first ever Happy Doggo to be adopted, Hope came to us after being slashed by a machete and shot with a nail gun.

She had completely shut down. But with a lot of love and patience, Hope is now living an incredible life in the UK.

Whacker

Whacker (or King Whacker) was found with a gaping wound to his head. Someone had hit him with a pick-axe, and they were a few milimetres away from killing him.

He's now enjoying life in Glasgow with his little brother Cooper.
