SPOTTIE (male)

I was living with my friends on the beach at Big Buddha. We were OK and being looked after by the monks at the temple there and some local tourists. However, one day one of the local people accused us dogs of killing his cat and, in an act of rage, he put poison down. Out of eight of us dogs, only Rolli and I survived. We survived because we had just been fed by the monks and weren't interested in the poisoned food. Why did this man want to poison me? I didn't eat the man's cat. When Brigitte heard about the mass poisoning, she turned up in her chariot (OK, it was only a pick-up truck!) and took us away. I now live at the shelter and await a new owner.

SWEETY SONG (female)

I’m a lovely affectionate cat with a beautiful soft fur. My master was constantly worried about me whenever I went for one of my independent walks. Dogs kept chasing me and often I could only just escape from them. This had to have an end and so I was brought to the DRCS and after I was sterilized I was allowed to stay at Brigitte and Werner’s house.

I liked it here straight away and snuggled up in their bed for days. In the beginning I was very scared of the dogs in the house but I´ve been trying to avoid them and so they leave me alone. I get along very well with most of the other cats in the house.

Simone from Fulda in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DJ (female)

Me and my sister CJ were taken to DRCS after having lived at a construction site. We together took care of our five puppies. When they had finished the construction of the businesses, there was no more room for us. We constantly got chased away and our babies were not liked. We all were thin and sneezed and coughed. The babies were not well at all. Tourists noticed us and called DRCS. We were taken to the sanctuary at Bahn Taling Ngam and the doctor stated that we all had distemper. Our babies died shortly after that, and we were very sick for a long time. But miraculously, both of us survived the viral infection which most of the time ends deadly. The volunteers Linda, Kelly and Glenn cared for us very well. They comforted us with treats when our babies passed away and gave us more colorful pills. We are now in kennel no. 10 and are always together. Kennel no. 10 is on the left side when you enter the sanctuary. It is the nicest kennel and most of the visitors look inside.
That means petting and treats! Come and visit us!

ROGER (male)

Me and my friend Robbin were hanging around at the large open space in front of the house in Chaweng. We already had befriended Princess and Max (sponsor dogs 9), well, Max did not like us too much. But he could not do much against us, since we are young and dynamic and he is old and fat. But he constantly stirred things up and therefore it was noticed that we had made our home in front of the gate. During the day many dogs are running around the large open space. But in the evening the neighbors take their dogs into the houses. We were standing around this open space and it was obvious that we did not belong to the neighboring houses. Therefore we were taken to Bahn Taling Ngam. We were neutered and are now living in the teenager kennel no. 10.

ALLY (male)

My master brought me to the DRCS because he had to work all day and I was always alone. He didn't have a fence around the house so I went out walking around all day long. As you can see on the picture I'm a real Retriever and even in Koh Samui they are worth quite a bit. O.K. I might be a bit small but definitely a little beauty and very affectionate. I retrieve balls (or whatever I can find) all day long and everyone really likes me here. I think I've got a good chance to find a new owner. So far Brigitte didn't want to give me away as she wants to be sure that I would get a good home. Of course whoever takes me, needs to really like me and not only take me for show. My future house needs to have a garden and surrounded by a fence. There are more and more houses like that on Samui but so far I haven't found the right one. But I do feel very comfortable here and everyone is enjoying my company.

After about six months we were lucky enough to find a nice home for Ally on the mainland close to Surat Thani.

MORENA (female)

I was brought to the vet in Chaweng by compassionate tourists because I suffered a bad eye infection. They couldn't save my eye but since I was at the DRCS anyways they sterilised me. Brigitte was of the opinion that it would be too difficult for me to catch mice and other small animals every day. Therefore, I was allowed to stay in the house. For a long time I lived together with Brigitte and Werner and – in the meantime – about 50 other cats. After a while I found it too boring there, so I started to attack the other cats. Just for fun. The others did not find that very funny and I got in trouble very often. Since I was the one to blame I was brought to the cat house in Ban Taling Ngam. Here, the garden is much bigger and there are not as many cats as in Chaweng. I am always happy about visitors. Since they have a lot of compassion I am the one to be cuddled the most.

Cheryl from Melbourne in Australia is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

FOXY SONG (female)

My master took me to DRCS for neutering. After that I was supposed to stay another three weeks at DRCS because he had to visit family. My master had paid 600 Baht (20 Baht per day) for my stay at DRCS and I assumed that he would pick me up after. After one week in a terrible single cage, I was taken to kennel no. 8. There a whole pack of dogs attacked me. I was very scared. They only wanted to sniff me out, but there were so many... After a while they all had “greeted” me and left me alone. I was waiting for my master! One month passed and nothing happened. Two months passed and nothing happened. I do not know how many months have passed - he has never returned.

FATTY (female)

I was thin as a rake and could barely stand up on my paws when I was discovered by a few nice people who brought me to DRCS. There I was served a real good meal. Since I had not given up on me during my time on the street, I recovered quickly. I became stronger and gained weight with each passing day. You can see the result on the left side. I settled down at the sanctuary and I am always in the first row when they give out rolls. Since some time the hotels on the island started a great service. The helpers from DRCS can pick up day-old rolls from the hotels. They still taste very good and I think that the hotels which do not participate in that service, reheat the rolls the next day and serve them to their guests.

BROWNY (male)

I was living unrecognized in kennel no. 8. Being a brown dog, you get away with that for a while. But not forever. One day the helpers came with injection needles and flea powder into the kennel. Everybody was given an injection and flea powder was rubbed on us. It was a nice game. We ran back and forth and around and played cat and mouse with them. Well, the game ended at one point, and I was the only one who was not white with powder. I then realized that the helpers did not randomly seize us but that everybody had a card with his information on it - but me. The helpers were very detailed that time and picked me up. But I did not get a massage with white powder. Instead I was put into a single cage - like a criminal! Well, to make a long story short, I was castrated the next day and I am back in “my” kennel.

Josie and Nicole from Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

ROMY (female)

I was found by some tourists as I roamed around the mountains on Samui. I had been abandoned by my owner and I was starving and very thirsty. The tourists brought me to the shelter where I was put on a drip because of my dehydration. I got much better very quickly and, several months later, I am now happily living in one of the compounds with my new doggy chums. I don't have to worry any more about getting food and water as there is always food and water here.

ANGIE (female)

My mother was a stray and, after she had me, a nice local Thai man decided it was time for her to be neutered. However, between that decision and him organizing it with Brigitte, Mummy was eaten by a monster of a dog. The nice Thai man decided that I must be saved so he brought me to Brigitte's house where I am now much loved. I took several days to settle in but Brigitte loved me from the start (it's my sexy blue eyes that did it).

Patrik from Helsingborg in Sweden is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

VIRGINIA (female)

I was brought to the shelter because of huge tumour of my genitals which was bleeding constantly. The chemotherapy wasn’t painful at all and after 3 injections in the space of 10 days I was fine again. After that I was sterilized. Unfortunately my old owner didn’t want me back as I had been away for so long. He had got himself a new (male) dog in the meantime. He said he never wants a female dog again. What's his problem? Anyway, he never was my proper owner (so he said); he just sometimes fed me!

Helga from Germany is now taking care of me. Thank you very much!

FÄNTA (female)

Silvan from Switzerland took me to DRCS when I was three months old. He urgently had to return to Switzerland. He had always promised me to take me to Switzerland. In the beginning it looked like he would keep his promise. He even begged for me in the streets of Zürich. Then I had not heard from him for a long time. I became very sick and it did not look good. I got very thick paws which were bleeding. But by the good care of DRCS, I completely recovered. Silvan contacted DRCS after about one year, but when he heard that I was very sick, he was no longer interested in me. He never called in again. The open area at DRCS is my home now. It is never boring here. Visitors come and bring treats. Since I am always in the first row, I also get petted by them.

SPEEDY (female)

Petra (my favourite volunteer) came one day to count all the dogs. We made a big game "catch me if you can" out of it. Petra ran across the shelter and tried to make a picture of every single dog. We all let her come very close and then ran away in different directions. We had great fun that day! After a couple of hours Petra's face became really red. After all, we let her make a picture of all of us and here I am. Nobody knows how I got here or when. But here I am and here I will stay. Except someone from the island wants to take me home.

Gabriela from Zürich in Switzerland is now taking care of me. Thank you very much!

SARA (female)

I came to the Rescue Center as a small, helpless puppy. It didn't look good in the beginning as I had diarrhoea and was so thin. I was too young to get any injections! However, I’m a fighter and Sandra (long-time volunteer at DRCS) always let me go into the kitchen where I partook of the cat food, including the fish at the fish party. Brigitte kept me at her house as she hoped to find a new home for me. As I have lived here for so long, this is my home and I’m happy here. Every day, sick dogs come in and I have to keep fighting to maintain my position. Sometimes these new dogs are huge with large wounds or totally starved and without fur. Sometimes they are very aggressive and that’s when I go to my favourite safe spot just outside the house.

Mareike and Achim from Mainz in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

CAMPINA (female)

I was living on one of the beaches but the nearby bungalow manager didn't like me or my other doggie chums and, for some reason or other, my other doggie chums started to disappear. It could have been after they had eaten that strange tasting meat which started to appear in the evenings. Brigitte found out about this so came up and took me to the safety of the shelter - by that time, none of my doggie chums were left, only me.

After some time at the shelter I got bored and decided to take my life in my own paws again and ran away. While I was living at the shelter, Stefan and Sally from Germany were looking after me. Thank you very much.

DEBBY (female)

My owner came to visit Brigitte and explained that, although he liked me, his neighbours didn't. They threatened to poison me if I continued to stay in the area. I didn't understand what it was all about because my owner and I really loved each other. My owner had to leave me with Brigitte and I sat at the fence and howled for him. I howled and howled for many nights but still he didn't come back. Now I greet all the visitors at the house in the hope that one of them will take me home. I still live in hope of my owner coming back and some nights stand at the gate looking for him and howling softly.

The Family Schruff from Bochum in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

BILLY (male)

I was living in a house with an old lady and my feline friends Pritti, Mai Tai, Tinker, Loony, Noodles and Moon. We kept our owner happy by sitting with her and purring all day long. She loved us very much but she became unwell and had to go and live with her son in a far off land. Our owner wanted to take us with her but her son didn't want that as he has four dogs. So, we were brought to the shelter where we now share our new house with lots and lots of new cat friends.

After a while at the big cathouse, I´ve decided to live my life on my own paws again.

During my time at the shelter, Clarissa from Germany was looking after me. Thank you very much.

SABA (female)

My girlfriend Sasha and I were wandering the streets looking for food for a long time. Unfortunately, we weren’t very good at this and were always being chased away by bigger dogs and nasty humans. The south of the island is not very amenable for stray dogs as there are only a few hotels and a lot of pets which have attacked us many times. When we arrived at the temple, we didn’t get a friendly welcome from the stray dogs there. As a result, Sasha and I sustained quite a few bites but, thankfully, someone telephoned Dog Rescue. The staff from the Center turned up and give us some delicious chicken sticks which, for some strange reason, make us feel sleepy. When we woke up we were in some sort of prison cell together. There were a lot of dogs running around and playing in a big compound outside. We were given some great food and our wounds got cleaned. After a week we were released into one of the compounds. We play and fool around with the other ones now. The food is good so what more do I want?

My sponsorship is a Christmas present from Lene for her Mom Margrit in Denmark. Thank you very much, it´s a great idea.
