Hello, my name is Angie. I've been living in Thailand for 16 years, close to the temple Wat Nairai where I care for local stray dogs.
It's not part of any organization — it's something I do because I can't watch them suffer. These dogs have no voice, no rights, and often no one to care for them.
I feed them daily, treat their wounds, vaccinate them, and organize sterilizations. Many of them came sick, injured, or starving — and I do my best to give them love and care. All dogs living at the temple or surroundings are already sterilized. Many thanks to VetVan Thailand who did this free of charge!
I’m sometimes asked why I dedicate myself to helping stray dogs, especially when there is so much human suffering in the world – in war zones, in areas of extreme poverty, in the midst of crises. The answer is simple and honest: Because I am here. Because I can help. Because I choose not to look away. That doesn’t mean human suffering doesn’t matter to me – quite the opposite. Compassion is not a limited resource. Each of us helps in our own way, with what we have, wherever we are. Some care for children, others support refugees, and some choose to protect animals. Together, we all contribute to making the world a little better. To me, every life matters. And if I can offer one of these dogs hope, safety, or even a loving home, then that is not “worth less” than any other kind of help. It’s simply my way of making a difference.
Why this website now? Juli2025. The answer is simple and honest as well: For 16 years, I've been caring for stray dogs in Thailand – including the many living at the local temple – driven by compassion and personal dedication. But now, with nearly 60 dogs depending on me, I've reached the limits of what I can manage financially by my own. Ongoing medical care, vaccinations, Heartgard, NexGard, and vet visits – all of it is essential, but no longer sustainable on my own. This website is a quiet call for help. Maybe there are people out there who feel the way I do, who care the way I care.
Donations help me afford food, medicine, and veterinary care, and to ensure that my protégés can live a protected life as dogs.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛

Musti’s had a rough few weeks.
First, someone actually shot her with a bow and arrow. Unbelievable, but true.
Then, just as her wound started healing, she got into a nasty territory fight — with bite wounds on her neck and front leg.See previous blogs.
But after almost five weeks of daily care, cleaning, patience, and love... she’s finally healed.
Huge thanks to my Greatcousin Pascal – couldn’t have done it without you! 🐾💛
Today is a very special day: Our beloved Sina turns 16. 🐾
Back in 2009, we found her and her sister on the beach. They were just two little souls, quietly waiting for someone to care. Sina was the very first dog we took in – the one who started it all. Since then, so much has changed, but Sina has always been there.
Now she’s our oldest. A wise old lady with a soft heart. Her hips ache with arthritis, and her eyesight has faded over time. But her love for food – and for being close to us – hasn’t changed one bit.
Her favorite place? Right beside me in the kitchen while I cook, hoping something delicious might just fall to the floor. She knows exactly how to look at me to get a little treat – she’s had years to perfect that look!
Happy Birthday, old girl. You are truly one of a kind. 💛
Tiny puppy,named Mila, only 4 weeks old with big wound. Mila is now under my care. Already received Tick+Flea protection. She will be vaccined for the first time next week. Mila is hoping to find her "forever Home" soon. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting Mila.
Saddly our worry "Musti" of the last 3 weeks, got now into a fight with other strays and she suffered 2 new big wounds.So it was time to see the vet again.
Musti, she was shot with a bow and arrow,the arrow went through the body,people from the weekly market at the temple informed me. After that she was hiding for 5 days, until she showed up again at the temple. She suffered a big bullet wound,already smelling bad, in her back. Fortunately, no internal organs were damaged. Musti needs wound care and medicine every day.
This website has only been online for a few days – so the blog currently contains just a few entries. But after 16 years of caring for street dogs here in Thailand, there are so many stories to tell: heartbreaking emergencies, tragic losses from disease outbreaks, but also uplifting tales that began in despair and ended in hope. So please don’t be surprised if the blog still looks a bit empty for now.
28.7.2025 - Five adorable female puppies (just 6 weeks old) are urgently looking for a warm and loving forever home. Despite their tough start in life, they are full of love, hope, and the innocent curiosity only puppies can have. They will soon receive their first vaccinations and are ready to start a new chapter. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider giving one of these sweet pups the chance at the life they deserve.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me ,if you are interested in adoption!

Normally people come to Thailand for other interests, but you care about street dogs here.
