Adoptable dogs

Taylor street dog adoption

Larry

Larry is a very sweet, affectionate, and somewhat quirky boy! He originally came to the land because he was severely underweight and we assumed he had a serious medical condition. After months of testing and observation we have yet to find a medical issue, and we now think Larry might just be a very disinterested eater! 

Larry loves human attention and will literally lean into your legs if you're next to him. He would love nothing more than to cuddle up with someone all day long. He can occasionally react to other dogs, so he would be best as the only dog in a home, and will likely always be an on-leash dog as he has a tendency to roam. Larry will need a special diet to ensure that he keeps an appropriate amount of weight on!

Snickers

Snickers has captured every heart she meets, and it’s no wonder why! This sweet, gentle soul lived her life on the streets but never missed a chance to show us her love. She was on our regular feeding route and we watched her grow up. Each time we went to feed her, Snickers would bring us gifts she’d found – a leaf, a plastic bag, a toy bulldozer. She has a knack for making people feel special with her little surprises.

Her friendly, people-loving nature shines through in every visit, and we could tell that she’d be happiest with a family of her own.

She's already learning to play with toys, make new friends, and walk on a lead! Now, she’s ready to bring her gifts, her big heart, and her joyful spirit into a forever home.


Sex: Female
Age: 1 year old
Weight: 15.2 kg

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.
