Southern Thailand floods:
The animal impact and where things stand.
In November, historic floods swept across southern Thailand. Homes and businesses were hit hard, and for animals it was an immediate crisis.
Dogs and cats were stranded on rooftops, in temples, and on flooded streets. Many went without food for days. Others were injured, or became sick as clean water disappeared and disease risk rose in crowded, damp conditions. Some were separated from their families. Many more were left vulnerable because the people who care for them were suddenly trying to survive themselves.
As floodwaters receded, the work shifted from urgent rescue to steady relief. The need became quieter but no less real: moving animals to safer ground, delivering food into affected communities, supporting vaccination efforts, and helping owners and caregivers stabilize so fewer animals are left behind as life rebuilds.
This is where your support matters. Not just in the moment of emergency, but in the weeks that follow, when the animals are still there and still need care.
Adoption success story: Frida and Bon
Now for the news many of you have been waiting for.
After 18 months in our centre, Frida and Bon have been adopted together and are heading to their forever home in Ireland.
Louise and Josh fell in love when they first visited in 2022. Having been back twice since, they got to know them properly, day by day. They saw Frida and Bon’s bond, their personalities, and the small signs of trust that mean everything. And they made the decision that changes a life: they are taking them home.
Being chosen together is a rare kind of luck. Frida and Bon won’t have to start over alone. They will land in a home with the thing every rescue animal longs for: consistency. The same people. The same safe place. The same love, every day.
We couldn't be happier!
In 2025, our CNVR (Catch Vaccinate, Neuter, Release) work reached 10,000 sterilisations.
This is a 20% increase on last year and a proud achievement by the medical team. It only happened because of steady support. Our sponsors, including Happy Doggo, Four PAWs and WTG, helped power this work, and regular donors and animal sponsors helped us keep clinics moving, supplies stocked, and teams on the road.
Sterilisation is not the most visible part of rescue, but it is one of the most important. It stops unwanted puppies and kittens before they are born, reduces suffering before it starts, and takes pressure off communities that are already stretched.
This year’s 10,000 brings our total to over 85,000 sterilisations.
In 2025, we held mobile clinics in Ao Nang, Ranong, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi Sai Thai, Koh Jum, Libong, Trang, and many other areas where animals would otherwise have no access to veterinary care.
What we are focusing on in 2026
Our priorities define our focus, spending and action. In 2026 our priorities remain steadfast:
Stopping suffering before it starts is our priority. Our medical team will keep leading sterilization, vaccination, and treatment programmes that protect animals and support communities.
When animals do need us, we will focus on purposeful care: medical treatment, enrichment, and training that prepares them for adoption. The goal is confidence, health, and readiness, not long-term stays.
The best outcome is always a permanent, loving home. Every animal who leaves our care is the clearest measure of impact, and in 2026 we will keep pushing for more happy endings.
If you can do one thing to help us start 2026 strong, please share our adoption posts. It only takes one right person seeing the right animal at the right moment.
