This story warmed my heart, as there are so many stray dogs in Thailand. that need our help. All all over the world, really. Thank you to all the rescuers out there, this work would not be possible without you!

This particular woman is doing her bit from the U.S, and so I’m grateful to the people still out there that care about the plight of the countless street dogs in Thailand.. Khap Khun Kha!

Seven stray dogs from Thailand have immigrated to the United States as one California woman attempts to rescue as many Thai dogs as possible. Melissa Bacelar is the owner of The Wagmor Luxury Pet Hotel and Spa, along with its offshoot pet adoption service, Wagmore Pets. Located in Studio City, a neighborhood in Los Angeles bordering Hollywood, the pet hotel just checked in the 7 Thai dogs.

They were street rescues that the Soi Dog Foundation helped prepare for their move to America. Soi Dog Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping stray dogs and cats, is based in Phuket and operating throughout Thailand.

Following 2 days of air travel across the world, the dogs are settling into their new country, safely landed in Los Angeles. Melissa has a passion for rescuing dogs from Thailand because of the tough life they lead there, and the tragic end many face. Some die on the streets, others are poisoned or bludgeoned when they become burdensome to people in the area, while others are slaughtered and sold for meat.

“The dogs on the street often end up in different meat markets in the area; they’re just dying on the streets. So it’s important to get them out of there and find them homes.”

These 7 dogs have escaped that dark fate and have been rescued, rehabilitated, trained and vaccinated by the Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand. Melissa is hopeful that they will find new homes easily as they are fully prepared and ready for adoption. The Thai dogs are surely looking forward to starting their new lives as American dog citizens.

As I’ve been in Thailand for so long, and love dogs, I also have had four rescued dogs of my own. There are several other dogs I care for, and you may have read their stories, If not, I’ll drop them here….https://bolostail.com/tlc-for-chocolate/, https://bolostail.com/dam-tale-of-a-7-11-dog/, https://bolostail.com/cocoas-long-goodbye/

If you are able to help, whether by adopting or donating to a reputable Street Dog Organization, below are a few in Chiang Mai doing amazing work. Please keep in mind., a small amount goes a long way in Thailand. Skipping a bougie coffee once a week can make a huge difference to one of these groups and the dogs they serve.
