🐾 Pixie’s big lunch adventure 🇹🇭❤️

Today we decided to take little Pixie along for lunch at a local Thai restaurant. Since this little girl is usually FULL of energy, we thought she would absolutely love the walk there.

Well… Pixie had other plans. 😂

Our little princess quickly decided that walking was highly overrated and being carried was a much better way to travel. So we ended up carrying her for most of the way there… and most of the way back. 👑🐶

She still had a great time exploring somewhere new, meeting people and joining us for lunch. And since Pixie will soon be starting a whole new life with her family in Germany 🇩🇪❤️, we’ll consider this some important preparation for all the adventures ahead.

We just hope her new family can convince her that in Germany, princesses occasionally have to walk themselves. 😂🐾

Safe to say, Pixie enjoyed her little excursion very much… even if her humans got most of the exercise. ❤️

❤️ Meet Krabi. The dog who almost didn’t get a second chance.

🐾 Meet Krabi, sponsor him or find out about adopting him here:
https://dcrs-match.lovable.app/animals/krabi-8a9f92

Not too long ago, Krabi was hit by a car and badly injured. Thankfully, Jane, one of our former volunteers, found him and made sure he got the help he desperately needed.

His injuries were serious, and Krabi needed an operation to save his life.

And then something amazing happened. ❤️

People from around the world, many of whom had never even met Krabi, donated towards his operation and treatment. You decided that his life was worth saving.

Because of you, he is still here. 🐾

After surgery and a long road of treatment and recovery, Krabi is finally getting stronger. He still has some recovering to do, but now we can start thinking about something we weren’t sure would even be possible after his accident:

Krabi’s future. 🏡

He needs a family.

Maybe the accident that almost took his life will somehow be the reason the right person discovers him. Someone who sees beyond his injuries and sees a dog who fought incredibly hard to be here and still has so much love and life ahead of him.

And until that family comes along, Krabi also needs sponsors. ❤️ Sponsoring him helps us provide the food, care and medical support he needs while he continues his recovery and waits for his forever home.

To Jane, to everyone who donated towards his surgery, and to everyone helping him through his recovery: thank you.

You gave Krabi his second chance.

Now we hope someone out there will give him his forever home. ❤️🏡

Every big change at our shelter begins with someone deciding to help.

Earlier this year, some incredibly generous supporters purchased the property next to our shelter and donated it to us. Their gift created something very precious: room to grow.

💚 BE PART OF THE NEXT STEP:
https://gofund.me/0bb20f725

With more than 400 dogs and 150 cats in our care, space affects daily life in many ways. The new land gives us the opportunity to create larger, calmer living areas, especially for dogs that cannot safely live in groups. It can help us reduce stress, improve daily care and give these animals a better quality of life.

But land does not become a shelter on its own. Turning it into safe and useful space will take time, planning and the support of many people.

One of the people helping us take this next step is Phil.

Phil has been volunteering with us since March and helps with different projects around the shelter whenever he is on Koh Samui. When he is away, he works as a helicopter pilot on firefighting missions.

Phil will turn 40 on October 8. Instead of asking for birthday presents, he started this fundraiser to support the expansion and is personally matching every donation, euro for euro, up to €10,000.

€10 becomes €20.
€50 becomes €100.
If we raise €10,000, the shelter receives €20,000.

We have already raised €3,245.

This fundraiser will not build the entire expansion by itself. It is one part of a much larger effort supported by many people. But every donation helps us move another step closer to turning this opportunity into real space for the animals.

Whether you donate €10, share this post or send it to someone who may want to help, you can be part of what happens next.

What is empty land today can become a calmer and safer place for animals tomorrow. 🐾

Meet Buck 🐶❤️

Buck is a street dog who suddenly found himself in a place he didn’t know.

Because he had not been neutered, some locals were worried that he might get into fights with other males or impregnate female dogs in his area. Instead of having him neutered, they moved him somewhere else, far away from the streets he knew.

Luckily for Buck, our friend Bex found him. ❤️ She rescued him from the unfamiliar area, contacted us and made sure he could come to our shelter for help. She’s also the voice you hear telling Buck’s story in this video.

We were able to organize his castration for the very next day. 🙏

Buck’s story is also a good example of why spaying and neutering has been such an important part of our work for more than 20 years.

Every weekday, our veterinary team spays and neuters between 5 and 15 local dogs and cats. That means around 100–300 operations every month. Our experienced veterinarian Dr. Sith has performed thousands of these operations over the years.

By spaying and neutering street animals before more puppies and kittens are born, we can humanely help control Koh Samui’s street animal population and prevent a lot of suffering before it starts. 🐕🐈

As a non-profit foundation, we can only continue this work with the help of others. Donations from people around the world help us pay for our veterinary staff, medical equipment, medicine and the facilities needed to treat animals like Buck.

A huge thank you to Bex for looking out for Buck and making sure he got the help he needed, and to everyone around the world who makes this work possible. 💚🐾

One animal at a time, it really does make a difference. ❤️

We were very honored to welcome His Excellency Ambassador Pablo Kang, Australian Consul-General Kirsten Fletcher, Khun Thanaporn Phonboon and other members of the Australian Embassy team to our shelter in Chaweng. 🇦🇺🐾

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us, meet some of our animals and learn more about the work we do here on Koh Samui. ❤️

Visits and support like this mean a lot to our team and, most importantly, help bring more attention to the hundreds of dogs and cats in our care.

A big thank you to the Australian Embassy in Thailand for visiting and supporting our work! 🙏🐶🐱

🐾 HELP KRABI SAVE HIS LEG ❤️‍🩹

Krabi’s story started on a rainy road near Krabi, Thailand.

A former volunteer and good friend of our shelter was traveling with her partner from Krabi toward Bangkok when they spotted a tiny puppy injured in the middle of the road.

They immediately stopped.

Krabi had apparently been hit by a car and could barely move. They picked him up and started searching for help. The first clinic could only give him pain medication and wasn’t able to take X-rays. Two more clinics were already closed, so they continued to Surat Thani, where they finally found a clinic that could properly examine him.

The X-rays showed just how serious his injuries were: Krabi has a broken left femur and a dislocated left hip.

Our volunteers Lea and Jana then traveled to the mainland to pick him up and bring him safely to Dog and Cat Rescue Samui.

We named him Krabi, after the place where his second chance began. ❤️

He is only around four months old and weighs just 8 kg.

Krabi now needs specialized surgery that we cannot perform at our shelter. His operation is scheduled for this Thursday, September 17, and will cost ฿54,000.

We have just two days to try to raise the money.

So many people have already come together to give this little boy a chance. From the people who stopped for him on that rainy road, to the clinics that helped him, to Lea and Jana bringing him safely to us.

Now we want to finish what they started.

🙏 Please help us raise the ฿54,000 Krabi needs for his surgery.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer. And if you can’t donate, sharing Krabi’s story can help just as much. ❤️🐾
