BELANA (female)
I lived on a small market in Chaweng
and I was as skinny as you can get. I was also suffering from mange and
diarrhoea. Animal friends from the DRCS managed to catch me and when I had
somewhat recovered I was sterilized. Since I had had puppies not that long
ago (all of them did), I still had some milk left. One day after my arrival
at the DRCS, somebody abandoned puppies there which were about 3 to 4 days
old Although it was not easy, I adopted these 4 puppies as my own and I hope
the little bit of milk I have will save their lives. The puppies of course
are also bottle fed but they do not like the bottle at all. Who wants to
take care of me in the future?
Britta from Munich in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very

HOLZI (male)
I am actually a
real temple dog! My little sister and I were born close to the temple in
Lamai and the monks kept an eye on us. We did not know where our mum
disappeared. As the head of the family, I was taking good care of my little
sister until we both started to loose weight and got weaker without knowing
why. When the DRCS-Temple-Team showed up, we could tell from their faces
that something was seriously wrong with us. First aid at the temple was not
possible as we were told that we would need a lot of daily medicine for
quite some time. And that’s how it was. We got a really nice room in the
puppy house and were well looked after. With every passing day we felt a
little better and to be honest, if you don’t feel well it’s easier to stay
at the puppy house than at the temple. Not long ago the vet gave the O.K.
for us to return to the temple. During the months we spent at the shelter, a
lot has changed at the temple and many new dogs we've never seen before are
now living there. We were scared and didn’t feel comfortable at all. We
tried to make it clear to the volunteers that we want to go back to the
puppy house. Here at the shelter it’s so much easier for me to look after my
little sister. I am very thankful that we were allowed to come back to the
puppy house.

PRALINE (female)
I used to live in a little
bungalow resort outside Chaweng. Everyday some new tourists showed up. I
really liked the tourists as they were often the ones making sure I had
something to eat and they told me what a pretty dog I was. What nobody
knew, I was constantly mistreated by the bungalow owner. For some reason he
hated me. I never did anything wrong and always minded my own business. I
never begged for food but was happy when the tourists gave me something.
Sometimes it was really hard to be around that guy and several times I could
hardly walk after he let out his anger on me. One morning a tourist
witnessed how I was hit by this man and called the Dog Rescue Center. They
picked me up immediately. I know live outside Brigitte and Werners house in
Chaweng, got my own bamboo bed and a big male dog that looks after me. Most
dogs are really nice here and we get lovely food from some
hotels/restaurants from around the island every day. I feel save here and
happy to be away from this person.

SETTLED (male)
Unfortunately I
don’t have a very nice life ‚in freedom’ to look back on. Until today I do
not really understand why the humans didn’t like me. Wherever I went, they
chased me away!? Even after I got hit by a motorbike everyone still ignored
me. One day some two really nice volunteers from the DRCS found me
underneath a car and it looked like they were quite shocked by the way I
look. I had a lot of open wounds and was quite mange. I was being a really
tuff one to catch. After several hours they finally managed to get me and
brought me to the DRCS. Until today I cant really trust any human being and
prefer not to be touched. However I love it here at the shelter and it’s
definitely so much better than out there. I never want to go back there! I
love my other doggie friends and often snuggle up with them. Ohh and the
food is absolutely fabulous!

SANTIA (male)
I was picked up from the street
and brought to the DRCS when I was still a little mangy teenager. Thanks to
my young age (and my good looks), I was allowed into the puppy house. Even
though I had to stay in isolation for the first two weeks and could only
from far watch the others playing, I thought it was pretty cool to have all
those other playmates around me. It didn’t take long for my fur to grow back
and finally I didn’t feel like scratching myself all day long. I don’t know
exactly what then went wrong with me. I felt a little dizzy and was brought
to the vet. Unfortunately I cannot remember what happened after that. Back
at the puppy house, I couldn’t stop shaking and until today I look like I’m
constantly listening to some really crazy techno music. A lovely volunteer
explained to me that I’ve got a really bad nervous disease. It is often
difficult to get up the steps and I only wish I could control my shaking
whilst eating my food as it tends to get a little messy. However I have to
say that I’m loving it here and I have found so many friends which I
wouldn’t want to miss anymore. Thanks to my nervous disease, I can stay in
the puppy house as long as I wish.

NORIS (male)
I don't really understand why, but for some reason my old owner never cared
much about me. They got me as a little puppy and I remember having a lot of
children around me. I guess I was a lovely fluffy puppy and as I grew older
the kids lost interest in me. My owner never gave me water and my food I
usually had to get out of the bins. Since nobody took care of me, my fur got
worse with every passing day until I was so ugly that they decided to get
rid of me. They dropped me outside the DRCS and I was put into one of the
outside compounds. I really liked the fact that there was always enough food
and the people from the DRCS are really nice too. But somehow I couldn't get
used to all the other dogs. There were mostly teenagers and far too wild for
me. I didn't feel comfortable anymore, got depressed and stopped eating.
That's when one of the lovely volunteers spoke to Brigitte and the next day
I was brought to Brigitte and Werners house in Chaweng. I love it here and
the other dogs are more my type! The food is so much better and I have a lot
of people around me all day! Life's good and I have become a pretty fat but
happy little dog!

EGG (male) I’ve been living on
Chaweng beach for many years now and got everything under control there.
Whenever a new male dog shows up I immediately play the boss and unless the
newcomer accepts that, I won’t let anyone into my territory to beg for food.
The Buri is the most animal friendly hotel on the island and many guests
return only because of us dogs. The lovely female dogs in my territory are
doing a good job keeping the stray ladies away. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t
mind new ladies but my harem thinks that it’s enough already. It’s important
that we make sure that we don’t get new dogs into the area all the time then
surely the management would not appreciate that. In the evening I usually
take a walk on the beach road and sometimes I even go to the GreenMango and
check out the wild night life…unless there are some lovely tourists at the
hotel and I’m allowed to sleep in their bungalow, of course that’s when I
happily give the night life a miss. Thankfully that happens quite a lot.
Normally people can only sponsor dogs and cats staying at the DRCS, but
Johanna and Ed know that I’ve been regularly checked by the DRCS and that’s
why I now have two lovely sponsors looking after me.

MARCUS SONG (male)
Two 'so called animal lovers' picked me up on the streets of Chaweng and
brought me to the DRCS. I guess they thought that I was unable to handle the
hard street-life. Well, maybe they were right! Those two tourists told me
that I have to stay at the DRCS only until I'm 7 months old and then they
would take me to Germany. Unfortunately that never happened! Life at the
shelter has not always been easy and my immune system wasn't so strong at
the time so I picked up various different viruses and my health went down
hill. Thanks to all the lovely volunteers and helpers at the DRCS, I was
allowed to stay in the puppy house until I fully recovered. I can now
proudly say that I have become one strong teenager dog and the females are
running after me...which can be quite overwhelming at times. I don't care
anymore that those two tourists didn't take me to Germany, I have settled in
fine and have found a lot of friends here at the shelter.

SAMKA (female)
Originally I
come from Hua Hin. Werner and Brigitte spotted me during a trip to Hua Hin
and took me together with 3 other companions to Samui. They actually planed
a simple visit to a friends place and wanted to relax on the beach. Well,
they weren't really able to do that as they can't just look away when they
see dogs or cats in need of help. Lucky us! I really like Koh Samui.
Immediately I got myself a place on the terrace at Brigitte’s place. I have
only three legs and my fur doesn’t look so pretty either. But in Hua Hin I
learned to stand my ground. Dogs only fight over the best chilling-places
over here. There is more than enough food for everyone. When I first I
arrived in Samui, all I did for three days was eating and sleeping and
eating, even dry food. You never know when you get your next meal…so I still
thought in the back of my mind. In the afternoons they pick up Reis and
other Food-leftovers from certain hotels. I can tell you: Some of that stuff
is absolutely delicious!

I was brought to the Center
because I am blind and my owner didn't want me any more. At the Center, I
got an operation to stop me having puppies and soon I will have an operation
on one of my eyes. However, I will never be able to see again. I didn't like
it at the Center at first because I didn't know my way around. However, I
now have a map of the compound in my head so I can walk around OK. I like
the food here because I'm given a special bowl all to myself. I like it when
we get visitors as they come and speak to me and stroke my lovely, soft fur.

Like so many of my playmates, I
came to the Dog and Cat Rescue Centre Samui when I was a little kitten.
There are so many germs around here because new and sick cats keep coming
into the house. It´s very hard for the little ones to fight against those
bacteria. But I was strong enough and now a big grown up cat. Well actually
I’m not that big. But here in Thailand Who is? So why should the animals
here get as big as in Europe? Because I’m quite a bit smaller than the other
cats I was lucky and allowed to stay at Brigitte’s house after the
sterilisation.

BIBI (female)
I did belong to
someone but they didn't look after me so I ran away. By the time I was
rescued by some nice Thai people, I was very thin and very dirty. I was
brought to the shelter and immediately Brigitte fell in love with me. She
gave me special food to fatten me up but, unfortunately, she also gave me a
bath - she's so fussy about cleanliness! Anyway, I now live in the house
with Brigitte and it is my duty to protect her against anything and
everything. As a result, I follow her around everywhere - toilet, bedroom,
garden. EVERYWHERE!

GURU (male)
In the afternoons I always walked to Ringstreet outside of Meanam. I watched
the passing cars and motorcycles and hoped that they would throw some food
to me. Sometimes I was lucky. Apparently I looked so terrible that animal
lovers contacted DRCS. Anyway, one day a car stopped. It had a very strange
dog smell. I did not trust that situation and kept my distance. The Thais
put a bowl with great smelling canned dog food down and disappeared in their
car. I gulped down the food. I don’t know what happened but I became kind of
sick and did not care anymore about what happened to me. The Thais got out
of their car and put me into a cage. I was taken to DRCS and treated for my
various diseases. I was suffering from malnutrition, had bad mange and TVT,
a very sincere tumor illness. The tumor illness had bothered me for a long
time. I was constantly bleeding from my penis and it was hurting. In the
meantime I feel great. I recovered completely and am living now at the
sanctuary in
Bahn Taling Ngam.

SONJA
(female)
Until recently
I lived with four other fellow-sufferers - RUBY, MAYA, MICKY and MICHA - at
a temple on Koh Samui. There, we had been fed by helpers from the DRCS every
afternoon with dry food for some months. All of us had already been
castrated and had had to suffer injections. Life really wasn't too bad near
the temple and each day we were looking forward to being visited by the
people from the DRCS. Of course there was always the risk that somebody
would poison us because dogs are not really appreciated that much at
temples. After the first bunch of dogs had been moved to the animal home in
Baan Taling Ngam, it became clear that the DRCS helpers would not always
have the time to take care of us every day at the temple. The temple is in
the opposite direction of the new animal home. Therefore, we were taken to
the new animal home and have settled down real quick. Here we get freshly
prepared chicken broth with rice soaked in dry food every afternoon.
That tastes really good!
Thank you
very much Marcus!
