BRANCO (male) oder auch KURT Ich stamme aus Lamai. Dort habe ich mich am Weekender rumgetrieben und da Silvana aus der Schweiz mich jeden Tag mit leckeren Hühnerkeulen gefüttert hat, habe ich auf sie ein wenig acht gegeben. Ich habe sie gegen Alles und Jeden verteidigt. Das kam im Hotel nicht so gut an. Ich wurde ins DRCS gebracht und sollte dort auch bleiben. Dort war es mir nach einiger Zeit zu langweilig und ich lief weg. Die Mauer ist nicht sehr hoch und es kommen auch immer wieder Touristen, die einem freundlich das Tor aufmachen. Also das war kein Problem. Nach einigen Monaten wurde ich wieder ins DRCS gebracht, weil ich wieder meinen Beschützertrieb ausgelebt hatte. Ich kann Thais nun mal nicht besonders leiden! Ich kam ins Tierheim nach Bahn Taling Ngam. Es war ein leichtes für mich dort wegzulaufen! Aber da ich in der Bungalowanlage, die ich als mein neues Heim ausgesucht hatte nicht besonders erwünscht war, wurde ich wieder ins DRCS gebracht. Diesmal wieder nach Chaweng. Nach kurzer Zeit ging ich wieder auf Trebe. Diesmal Richtung Chaweng-Beach.

BONZO (male)
I was dropped off at the door of the Dog
Rescue Center with two broken legs. My owner didn't want me anymore.
However before at least he brought me to the vet and let him bandage my
legs. At the vet Brigitte heard that my owner doesn't want me anymore. But
this wasn't that bad, because right from the start I got lots of food and
it was best quality. At the house of Brigitte's and Werner's a was great
by just tons of cats. But then they ignored me. But this was ok. But what
about all the dogs! Most of them were about my size, all of them were
hairy rats who eyed me very negatively. But of course I was very forceful
with them, even with my bandaged legs. In the meantime I have become the
love of Brigitte. And nobody speaks about a new home for me anymore. I am
even allowed to go to the beach with Bibi, Brigitte's personal dog, and
after some fighting I am even allowed to sleep in her bed. So far only
Bibi was allowed to do so, the stupid Poodle. Bibi doesn't like to play
with me, she only wants to play with the ball. Now I chase the ball too,
or simply run after Bibi. When we go the beach, I am always the stupid
one, because I have to swim and Bibi just stands on the board and barks. I
have put on so much weight lately that the surfboard Bibi has doesn't
carry me anymore. But my lady loves me! I love to eat coconut sweets. My
lady too and because I know just how to beg, we usually share. But why do
I get so heavy from them, some people tell me I am fat! But I think that I
am very handsome. Fat and healthy. Thank God it's not possible to put me
on a diet, because there are so many baby cats in the house, and they get
fed all the time. The bowls here are never empty.
Now they also found out that my previous
owner used to tie my mouth with wire. There was a deep bloody ring around
my mouth, but now the fur keeps growing back like a miracle - but
unfortunately in white. When I am left alone I make a lot of noise. I
don't stop barking and I cry very loudly. For hours, if needed. For sure
the neighbors didn't like that very much and that was probably the reason
I was dumped. But now I am sure that nothing better could have happened to
me.¨
Antonio from Weinheim in Germany wants to
take care of me in the future. Many thanks!
Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

BLINDI (female) I was dumped as a small puppy under a car when my owners realized I had no eyes. I was still a puppy when they brought me to the DRCS. I am the only dog at the shelter who has stayed for ever with Brigitte and I have a special status here so am allowed to sleep in the bedroom with Brigitte, Werner and a select group of cats and sometimes some dogs. I protect Brigitte and Werner from anything. I am always on alert in case I am needed. I like to chase flies in the garden but am not very successful at catching them. I'm not too keen on the pedicures I am given here. The user of www.zocker-elite.de are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DOGGIE
(female)
I used to live at the Solo Bar in Chaweng but I didn't like it there. Annsofi, a tourist from Sweden, visited the bar one day and realized that I wasn't well. She called Brigitte who picked me up and brought me to the vet for treatment. After that, I was brought back to the bar. Since Annsofi wanted me to come to Sweden the helpers of the DRCS picked me up once more. Unfortunately, I cannot go to Sweden, since I would have to be in quarantine for a very long time and Annsofi was worried about me handling the transport. But I live at the shelter in Ban Taling Ngam now in one of the most beautiful compounds. I like it here a lot as there is plenty of food and fresh water and a lot of doggie friends to play with.

SAUSAGE (male) I'm not exactly sure why I landed up at the Dog Rescue Center. I never thought that I was a rescue case... Even though I didn't have a real owner, I always found some food to survive on and kind of enjoyed the free life on the street. I remember feeling really sick and it became hard to stand on my legs...next thing I remember is how the DRCS-people treated my wounds and gave me colorful little pills to eat. I feel pretty good now and have settled in. I have many funny playmates here at the center and the food is absolutely declivous. Ilaria and Contrado from Italy are now looking after me.

SILKA (female) I live at the big shelter in Baan Taling Ngam and trying hard to make my peace with the fact that my owner is never going to come back and take me home. He promised me that I would only have to stay for a couple of weeks but now it's been months and I'm still here. Thankfully the volunteers took me out of the little 'look after' compound and so things have improved for me. I kind of like where I live now and honestly speaking I have already found a lot of new friends which I wouldn't want to miss anymore. Would you like to sponsor me?

BLAUNI (female) Believe it or not, there was a day when I looked really pretty! Unfortunately that has changed and nobody cared for me anymore. I now live at the DRCS at have fallen in love with one of the helpers. Em takes me to the shelter with him and I just love to watch him clean and work all day. He gives me a lot of love whenever he gets a brake and maybe one day he even takes me home.... Katrin from Unterhaching in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

LEXY (female) Me and my brother Pauli were abandoned from our owner. I think he had a lot of problems himself and could not take care of us anymore. Unfortunately the people around the area where we used to live don't like any stray dogs and that's why we landed up at the DRCS. It was really hard at first... Now things are a lot better and we have settled in fine. The other dogs are really nice and quite funny to watch sometimes.

MONA LISA (female) At first I really didn't like to be at the DRCS. Even though there is a really nice big cat house at the shelter in Baan Taling Ngam and a lot of space to run around, I needed more of that human touch. Whenever Brigitte came to visit us at the shelter I would just sit on her and cry and cry and miau and miau...until she decided to take me to the house in Chaweng. Guess what: It worked! The first three days I didn't move away from the bed...it felt sooooo good! Now I mainly live in the kitchen and watch what's going on around me. What an amazing life! Anne and Reto from Jouxtens-Mézery in Switzerland are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

MUFFA (male) Actually I was supposed to fly to another country. Some lovely white people promised me a luxury home somewhere in Germany. Unfortunately they quickly forgot about me once they were back home. I was taken away from my old place and since other dogs took my place, there was no way back for me. I made my peace with it and spend my days now at the DRCS. I have to say though, the food is absolutely super great!! Marion and Nina from Brachttal in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

WHITY (female) I was brought to the DRCS by some really nice Thai people. I believe they knew that without their help I could not survive. The place where I was born was right next to the road and my 3 other little sisters and brothers all got run over by cars. My mum disappeared and nobody knows what happened to her. I am delighted to now live at the DRCS. I have found a beautiful home here and absolutely love to cuddle! Sira from Embrach in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

TUNA
(female)
I was
picked up in the Fishermen's Village in Bo Phut (hence my name). I was a
street dog but had recently been attacked by some other dogs in the area and
I also started to develop mange. Brigitte arranged for my admission to the
shelter and she says I can only get out if my mange clears up, I have Nathalie from Munich in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

MAGERLI (female) I cannot tell you what exactly happened to me and why I'm not able to walk properly and control my balance. All I know is that I am very happy where I am now and that I get super special food every day. I know you can't really see it in the picture but I am actually a very thin cat and it seems an impossible task to put some weight on me. People say I'm a little brain damaged too....but who cares, I am happy and make the best out of each day... Stephanie from Viersen in Germany will take care for me. Thank you very much.

SNOOKER (female)
I was a lonely little puppy living by myself under a bench in front of a beauty salon on the main Chaweng road. I didn't have a pack so all the older dogs were bullying me around and stealing any food that the salon employees left out for me. They were mostly just giving me scraps of rice or chicken bones, which could make me choke to death! I was so skinny because I wasn't getting the right nutrients that a puppy needs. Then one night in the rain, I was chewing on a stick by my bench when two nice people, Connie and Eric, came up to me and started playing with me. Next thing you know, they came by a few times everyday to feed me yummy dog food and protect me against the bullies that tried to steal it while I ate. They were so nice to me and named me "Snooker". My new friends, Connie and Eric, soon took me for a ride in a taxi and brought me to my new home at Brigitte's house, the DRCS. I wasn't socialized so I was very scared when they put me with other dogs but since everyone was so nice to me there, I learned how to get along and made some good doggy friends along the way! Andrea from Rapperswil in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

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. Veronique from Luxemburg is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

KAU DAM
(female) I was brought to the shelter because I had mange and my owners thought I would pass on my condition to them. Not so but there was no persuading them. It took several weeks for the mange to clear up and I am now looking lovely and healthy. Unfortunately, my owners don’t want me back but that’s their loss, not mine. Here, I get lots of food and water and the volunteers play with me all day long. Renate from Ingolstadt in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

LEISA (female) I guess I was playing a little too ruff when it all happened. I cut myself open pretty badly. I was rushed to the DRCS with a huge wound along my front where I got immediate medical attention. Thanks to the lovely vet Anna from Germany who took such intense care, I feel much better and can even play with the others in the puppy house. My wounds are almost closed and things look pretty good again. Tanja from Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

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. Hans from Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much.

NINJA
(male)
I used to live near Hua Thanon and was happy with all the other dogs running around. Every night we used to rummage through the trash bins and it looked pretty messy around them in the mornings. Then somebody decided that this had to stop and suddenly the food from the bins tasted weird. Many of my pals died. Someone has tried to poison us all. Brigitte from DRCS heard about this and came immediately to rescue me and another dog who had survived. This dog also died, but not me. I have survived. I now live in the Big Shelter in Ban Taling Ngam and I really like it a lot. I jump up on every visitor, that's a lot of fun. I also like it when volunteers come who brush and stroke me.
Nicole from Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

TABO (male) I lost my sight and was very frightened and was running around one of the markets. The people thought I was just crazy so I was brought to the shelter. At first nobody at the shelter realized I was completely blind as one of my eyes looks OK. It may look OK but it's not. When my plight was realized, Brigitte said that I couldn't go back on the streets and must stay with her for ever. I'm glad as I don't have to run around crazy any more and I get to speak to all the visitors here.

RUSTY (male) Unfortunately things didn't always work out for me and life wasn't always easy. My owners abandoned me when they realized that I was a little different than anyone else. My tongue was sideways hanging out of my mouth and due to a terrible problem with my eyes, I looked like a little monster. People at the Dog Rescue Center have taken real good care of me and now -after both of my eyes had to be taken out- I live a pretty great life at Brigitte and Werners home in Chaweng.

GRINGO (male) I was brought to the DRCS in Chaweng by my prior owner because of a nasty wound on my neck. I was then brought to the big shelter, where they made sure that I got all the necessary treatment and of course I also got neutered. Once ready to face the outside world again, I was brought back to where I came from - not far from the DRCS office in Chaweng. Due to the excellent food and the attention from the people at the DRCS, I decided to make my way back to the office where I know live just outside the gate. I even have a little shelter, water and top-food and some playmates..... Marie from Detmold in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

LARAMIE (male) Me and my brother Dalles used to have a very save and wonderful home. Until the day our owner decided to bring us to the DRCS to get neutered. We don't know why -and don't understand it till today- he doesn't want us anymore. The number he wrote on the card is wrong and he never came back to ask for us. We are still very sad and don't like to be touched by anybody. We have given up hope now and try to get settled here at the DRCS shelter..... If we'd only know why he abandoned us......

HENKA (female) Meine Schwester und ich wurden mit 3 Monaten einfach vor dem Tor des DRCS in einer Kiste ausgesetzt. Zum Glück haben uns die netten Mitarbeiter gleich ins Welpenhaus gebracht, wo die Volontäre für uns noch ein Plätzchen fanden. Nach der zweiten Impfung durften wir dann endlich aus der Isolation raus und mit den andern rumtollen. Leider will mich und meine Schwester niemand adoptieren...aber wer weiß, vielleicht haben wir ja eines Tages doch noch Glück.... Great news: I found a new home on Koh Samui! While I was staying at the DRCS, Tanja from Schupbach in Germany was looking after me. Thank you very much!

KIMMY (female) I am too small for a large enclosure, so I had the good fortune to change in the flight enclosure, because I am very healthy and also very friendly, for here the dogs change more often, many are only shortly here with me, but the meal is very deliciously, and I get share of kindness and affection. But I feel especially gladly if Bärbel or Günter comes with the hair brush, but at the barbers shop I’m always a little prissy.

ARIEL (female) I lived in a small village in the south of the island. I didn't have any particular owner but enjoyed the donations of food from the stall owners in the market. However, the local butcher took exception to the theft of some meat off his stall. He chased me around the market for what seemed likes hours. I thought it was a great game at first but when he grabbed a knife I wasn't as impressed. I am not sure what happened then. Anyway, I know live at the DRCS-shelter. The workers and volunteers are nice here and don't chase me around the compound when I steal food from them. Susanne from Berlin in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

SANNY (female) Some lovely people gave me shelter under their bungalow and made sure that the volunteer girls Jay & Linda came to clean my -pretty ugly and pretty alive wound- every day. Unfortunately they then found out that I have a pretty serious nerve-system-problem and I am not really able to take care of myself. That's when they brought me to the DRCS. Even though I love to see the girls, I don't really like it here so much. I wish I could still be free and find someone who's willing to look after me and give me some pills every so often.

FLETCHER (male) I was brought in because of mange. I thought I was looking OK but Brigitte disagreed - she said it looked as if I had holes in my skin! I've been getting special treatment and my fur is growing back. Unfortunately, however, no-one can remember where I came from so it looks as if I'll stay at the shelter for a long time. That doesn't bother me much as there are lots of doggies to talk to and the food is good . Ursula from Ruesselsheim in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

SALSA (female) Hello, I am Salsa and came to the DRCS a few month ago. I am still a pretty young dog and came to the shelter because of my pretty nasty wound on the neck. I had to be treated and looked after for quite some time. Once I was back on track and finished all my medication, the DRCS-people got me integrated into one of the lovely (but pretty full) outside compounds. Thankfully I have made a lot of friends here and enjoy my time playing with them all. Apart from the annoying mange, I'm a very happy dog! Jessica from Sweden is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

LATZI (weiblich) Als ich noch ein kleiner Welpe war, hatte ich mich bei einer Familie in der Nähe vom Marktplatz eingeschlichen. Sie hatten wohl mitleid mit mir und gaben mir regelmäßig Futter. Leider wollte ich einfach nicht mehr aufhören zu wachsen und aus dem kleinen Welpe wurde schnell ein großer und räudiger Hund. Die anderen Menschen auf dem Markt fanden dies gar nicht so toll und wollten mich loswerden. So bin ich beim DRCS gelandet. Ich finde es ganz friedlich hier, tolle die meiste Zeit herum und genieße die pünktlichen Mahlzeiten! Nathalie from Jegenstorf in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

WHITNEY (female) I used to live in a lovely little garden center in the Chaweng area, where I knew everyone and had a lot of friends and other dogs to play with. Unfortunately my people had to close the shop down because somebody else planned to build a fancy restaurant there. My people could not take me with them and the new restaurant owners didn't like me and didn't give me any food until I was so thin that I had to get serious treatments. Thankfully the lovely volunteer girls from the Rescue Center cared enough about me and made sure that I got my place in the DRCS where I have now found a lot of new friends to play with.

FLEA BAG (male) The volunteers Jay and Tom found me on a side road, totally starved and with just enough energy left to stand on my four paws. They picked me up and took me to the shelter, where they first got rid of the thousands of fleas I had all over my body. Apparently I have blood parasites. Whatever that is, I'm kind of glad to know that there is a reason why I feel so sick. However, I feel better with each day and look forward to the day I turn into a strong healthy dog again. Alexandra from Pfaffenhoffen in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

LUDWIG (male)
I was found in the dog shelter in July 2009 when the team of the DRCS was taking new pictures of all the other dogs. I creeped in the rest of the group so that they nearly failed to take notice of me. Brigitte supposes that actually I was brought to the animal shelter for being neutered but my owner didn't want me anymore. Now I live in one of the big kennels where I feel at ease with the other dogs and even play with them a lot of the time
Ilona and Hans from Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

BUBY (male) Alice and Alfredo found me on the road and I guess because of my pretty ugly look, they decided that I would need some help. They then brought me to the DRCS where I am recovering now. I have already put on some wait and my fur is slowly but surely growing again -which is pretty cool though! I am not sure yet where I am going to live once I am big and strong and hairy but I don't really care at this point of time.
Alice and Alredo Arnhem in the Netherlands are now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

BLACKY (female) My owner just abandoned me and my sister Smoky here. I was very sad for a long time and I didn't even want to eat. But now I play with Günter very often. He would be my favourite new companion but Lucky Song, Marla and many others would like him to be their new owner too. I think I am one of his favourites, I can feel it . Christina from Hanau in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

CLEA (female) Monika from Austria is now looking after me. Thank you very much! When I got pregnant, the people who were looking after me did not want me anymore and threatened to kill me. Thankfully I was picked up by some lovely people from the DRCS and looked after my babies at their puppy house for a while. I don't know why, but none of my babies survived. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I got cancer. Anyway, I am doing a lot better now and I am happy that I can live in the puppy house and be around my great caretakers every day.

SIRA (female) Doris from Kölln-Reisiek in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much! I arrived at the DRCS about 2 months ago (beginning of 2010) together with my new babies and my sister. My babies all died and my sister found a new owner. I am a good natured and quiet kinda girl who's looking for a new family. Until then, I hope to find someone who would like to sponsor me. It's actually quite ok here at the shelter and as long as I can live in the puppy house my world's all alright...

POLLY (female) Sandy and Sven from Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much! Some lovely tourists picked me up from the street and brought me to the DRCS. It was clear that I couldn't go back to where I came from for so many reasons. When I was about to get spayed, they found out that I was pregnant and so I got a lovely room in the puppy house where I had my babies. Unfortunately they all got sick and died and I also had a long fight until I was feeling better. The puppy house is where I am now and hopefully where I will stay for a lot longer...
|
||||
 |
STRUBBEL (male) Unfortunately nobody knows where I really came from. I was picked up on the road by the DRCS-Team and they brought me to the shelter. Beside the treatment of my pretty nasty wound, they also made sure that I got some proper food....and not only every few days. All is good now and I am happy to be able to stay here since I'm not sure if I could survive well by myself. Sandy from Mainz am Rhein in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |
||||
|
ROMEO (male) Since I never had a real home or anyone that could look after me, I don't have any place to go back to....even if I should get healthy and strong again one day. More or less all my life I have been on the search for food and a nice save place to settle. Unfortunately all the places I liked were already taken and I was constantly chased away either by other dogs or humans. When I got very weak and sick, I was brought to the DRCS by some lovely tourists that found me on the road. I am giving my best to get better and the people here are making sure that I don't loose the strength to live. Tiago from Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |
||||
 |
MARLO (male) I am pretty old already and happy that I don't have to search for my food. All I know is that I was brought here after an accident and that besides the wounds I hardly had any fur. Thankfully my hair is slowly slowly coming back and I start to look like a real dog again...an old one maybe..but who cares. I spend most of my time in front of the vets' office and watch the visitors come and go. What more do I want? Remo from Spesbach in Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

MERYL (female) I came to the DRCS when I was a tiny little puppy. I was very sick and people didn't really believe that I would make it. Thanks to Linda and Jay I did make it and hope that I will find a new home one day. Until then I will enjoy every day here at the puppy house and make sure that I put on some more weight. Britta from Kalmar in Sweden is now looking after me. Thank you very much!
|
||||
|
METZI (female) When I first got to the shelter, I was totally naked. Since I was without any fur, and badly covered with open wounds, nobody seemed to really care where I came from and what I did before the DRCS. Well, now I am here and as you can see, I only miss some hair on my tail. I feel pretty good and have already found some lovely doggies to play with. Cool to finally be furry!
Carina from Austria is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

KERRIGEN (female) I am already a pretty old lady with hardly any teeth left. I used to live on the street and loved the feeling of freedom and independence. Unfortunately that changed once the humans took away 'my restaurant' and I simply didn't have the energy to go and find myself a new and save place to live. So the people from the DRCS came to pick me up and brought me to the shelter. I actually quite like it here, I got my place, my friends and have found my humor again. Liz from Melbourne in Australia is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

JOSH (male)
Josh was found in a terrible state of health in Maenam. He was very mangy and really skinny. He was too weak for being neutered for a very long time. He is still mangy around his nose but a salve is applied daily.By now he put on weight and he seems to feel comfortable in the animal shelter. Josh is really curious and always wants to be in the first row to see what's going on Christina from Freiburg in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

MARZIPAN (female) I used to have a really nice family and a great place to stay. Unfortunately my family had to leave the island and the neighbors promised to look after me. I think I missed my family so much that I became sick and I started to have some really strange shakes going on all the time. Apparently I have a brain problem that costs the shaking....it's like I'm dancing non-stop. The neighbors though that was an embarrassment and sent me to the DRCS. Here everyone accepts me just the way I am and life has become good again. I still miss my family but the new people around here are just as nice.
Lene from Hvidovre in Denmark is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DICKER (male) I used to stay in Chong Mon at the DivePoint. For many years I was protecting the place, doing a real good job that no bad people entered the shop. About five months ago I decided to not like children anymore and attached several of them. Not bad though but I have bitten 3 children and that was reason enough for my people to have me removed. Even I don't know why I did that....I think they were just too loud or something. Now I live at the DRCS and try to become a good boy.... Alexandra from Pfatter in Germany is now looking after me.

SMOKY (female) My owner just abandoned me and my sister Blacky here. I was very sad for a long time and I didn't even want to eat. But now I play with Günter very often. He would be my favourite new companion but Lucky Song, Marla and many others would like him to be their new owner too. I think I am one of his favourites too, I can feel it .

SWISS (female)
Swiss was supposed to stay with us “temporarily” only. We never heard of the owner anymore. The telephone number he gave us on the file card was wrong. Swiss is a bit shy and - as all the dogs who already have been living with an owner for a longer time – feel sad at the beginning. By and by he will feel better. With the other dogs he gets along well Christina from Freiburg in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

GRUMPY (male) I had to stay in a single box for a long time because my back legs were paralyzed due to an accident on the street. I could be rehabilitated so I can walk again. However it looks funny when I walk because I stagger around, but my friends don't mind. I even like to play with them again. Sandra and Jörg from Bielefeld in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

BABS alias WINDLIN (female)
Hello, my new name is Babs.
That is what I looked like when I arrived at the Dog Rescue Center in
September 2009. I didn't have the heart to come out of the corner, I just
hid there and didn't want to take food. Bärbel took me to another shelter to
a pride of anxious dogs. She fed me by hand because I just didn't want to
live anymore. But when the food was served in this manner I could eat in
peace – now I'm of good cheer. They always prepare rice for me which I
really like. I get many strokes and I play with my friends. Only now, that
I made the grade to eat on my own and feel better, Günter named me Babs, and
I have to say I kind of like it! Remo from Spesbach in Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

SHIRLEY TEMPLE (Aliana) (female)
Hello, I
am Aliana and this is my story:
I was
only ten weeks old when I got mange and all my hair fell out. My owner
didn't like the look of me so took me to the temple. He said I would be
looked after there and I suppose I was but nobody would love me. I was
picked up by a lovely tourist who brought me here to the wonderful world
of Dog Rescue. Uncle Vet (Dr Sith) immediately gave me some medication
which made me feel better. I was pampered, petted and given lots to eat
and drink. After that, however, came the bath! I felt much better after
the bath but don't tell them that, they might do it again! While I was
settling in at Dog Rescue, I even found a sponsor I hope that i can soon
show off my new shiny fur....

LINDT (female) I have a displaced lower jaw by birth, I have an under bite and I can hardly eat and drink. However, here in the animal shelter I get adequate food and I get along well with the other companions. They aren't bothered by my weird appearance – thank goodness!

PARLO (male) Parlo was found in the animal shelter in July 2009 when the team of the DRCS was taking new pictures of all the cats. He creeped in the rest of the group so that she almost hadn't been noticed. I suppose that actually he was brought to the animal shelter for being neutered but his owner didn't come and pick him up anymore. We took him to the cat house. He is very nice and cuddly. Peggy and Vanessa from Bielefeld in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!
|

KARA (female) Kara was brought to the animal shelter by her owner. She was extremely skinny. At least the Thai took her to us and didn't expose her to the streets. She is very fearful and doesn't feel good here. She probably would prefer exchanging food for her own family.
Peggy and Vanessa from Bielefeld in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DEMI (female) When I arrived here I had a very bad skin disease, unfortunately not only in my face. Salve was applied daily and after an endlessly long time I started looking really nice again. I had to sit in a kennel for many weeks, I just wanted to get out of there. When I finally could leave the kennel, the others were really nice to me. I settled in the huge pride of Brigitte and Werner very well and I would like to stay with them forever. I heard some stories about the cat shelter in Taling Ngam: they supposedly don't serve freshly cooked fish in the evening?!? – can't believe it!!!
Angela from Australia is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

METTI (male) I have been at the DRCS since I was a very little puppy. We were abandoned in a carton box on a very busy road somewhere outside Nathon. We were all running around in the middle of the road when some animal friendly Thais saved our lives. They stopped the cars, picked us up and brought us to the DRCS. My sisters have already found a home when they were about two months old. I have settled in well here and love playing with my doggie and volunteer friends! Silke and Melissa from the Panketal in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

NADHUA (MALE) Ich kam schwer verletzt ins Tierheim nachdem ich bei einer Beißerei offensichtlich den kürzern gezogen hatte. Die Maden hatten mich schon fast erledigt, als ich mich ergab und mich einfangen ließ. Dann ging alles sehr schnell. Ich bekam eine Spritze und als ich wieder erwachte fand ich mich in so einer komischen gefliesten Box wieder. Aber das tolle war, ich hatte nicht mehr das Gefühl bei lebendigem Leib aufgefressen zu werden. Die tägliche Wundreinigung ließ ich geduldig über mich ergehen, denn ich dachte mir, dass die Maden sonst wieder angreifen würden. Das war eine so furchtbare Zeit für mich, da ist das bisschen Wundreinigung eine richtiges Vergnügen... Nach endlosen Tagen oder Wochen kam ich ein eins der großen Gehege und dort komme ich ganz gut klar. Die Näpfe sind immer gefüllt, was will man mehr?

HOPPA (female) I cant walk normally anymore since I was badly hit by a car. I never had a real owner but I was always a strong and confident stray dog who understood how to survive and to enjoy a happy life. That all changed after the accident and I lost the will to fight. Thankfully Jay never stopped to see the strong dog in me and took me into the puppy house where I got very special care and treatment for many months. Thanks to all the patience people and the little naughty puppies I have found my reason to live again..... Stephanie from Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

PORTI (male) I’m a small male dog and used to have a family, but they didn’t want me any longer and so I ended up here. In the large enclosure, I strongly was suppressed. Since I am a lot weaker than the other male dogs, I ended up in the enclosure for the anxious and thin dogs. It's crazy here, except “Tinkerbell” which is even smaller than I am, only ladies and they all are very playful and dear to me. There I can find complete expression correctly. Finally I get rice with meat and share of kindness and affection. There I want to sit always very above on the lap of Günter, so that I can lick his neck, so I am finally once very above and the largest. Susan from Ismaning in Germany is now looking after me.

(female) I was simply delivered here. Arrived here, I was a long time in a single box, because everyone thought, that I would be an evil attack dog. Then the attempt was made to join me once with other dogs. All colleagues viewed strained after me, and I felt very important. All dog friends were sniffing at me. After finding also a tennis ball and was in the 7th sky. I am not an evil attack dog. I dear my tennis ball, which I also need for sleeping, and I have now correct outlet again cause the boys throw me always even once the ball. Sarah from England is now looking after me.

OLIVER (male) I'm scared of everything! I'm scared of loud noises, the dark, cats and even geckoes. My owners got fed up with me as they wanted me as a guard dog and I got frightened of the burglars when they broke into the house. As a result, as well as my owners having their DVD stolen, I was brought to dog rescue. I'm getting better now and am not so frightened of everything. I like it when the volunteers come round and brush my beautiful coat. Sabrina from Como in Italy is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

CLEO (female) I was brought to the shelter by a tourist as I had a large hole in my back, my ears were very itchy and my eyes kept oozing pus. I was looked after by Daeng every day and he cleaned and dressed my wound until it got better. He also gave me special medication for my ears and my eyes. I've had an operation to stop me having more babies and, as a result, I've put on some weight but I still like to bounce around the compound saying hello and playing with the other dogs.

A nice Italian couple initially wanted to take me to their home country. They brought me to the DRCS and I was supposed to be send to Italy four months later. They had given me a red collar so nobody would send the wrong dog. The couple had spent their holidays on Samui and let me sleep on their terrace and fed me. I have accompanied them all the time. We had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the address was wrong and they had never called again.

LOTOS
(female)
I was abandoned at the mall Tesco-Lotos. Of course, I was chased away from there by the many guards in
the parking lot. In most cases dogs are not wanted there. Therefore I kept on running
into the very busy street. Tourists informed the DRCS about me and since I
didn't have much chance of survival along the street, I went to the
DRCS sh Lauren from Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

SPORTY (female) Nick from India took me with him to Bangkok. Unfortunately he was not able to take care for me there since they had only a very little room for the whole family in Bangkok. I love to run and jump around and definitely need some space! In Bangkok you can only find government animal shelters and they are mostly full. Nick didn't want to leave me there, so he brought me to Koh Samui to DRCS. Here I run around in the shelter and play with my doggie friends the whole day. That's a lot of fun! Of course, I would prefer my own little family but you cannot have everything Stephanie from Essen in Germany is now looking after 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. Marina and Rene from Berlin in Germany are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

AMY
(female)
I am Amy. Beginning of June 2006 I was hit by a motorbike on Chaweng Beach Road. Nobody helped me but I have made it in front of a pharmacy with my injured leg. I grew up with one of my brothers on the street but the passed few months I was alone. I don't know where my brother is. After I had found a place in front of the pharmacy, one day two animal loving tourists came up to me: Andrea and Tobi from Germany. I was very happy to see them and wagged my tail like crazy. At first I didn't know what to do with these sticks they gave me, but after a while I realized that it was something delicious to eat. After that, they came every day and took care of me, cuddled me, and gave me something to eat. One day, Tobi lifted me up from the ground and we took a taxi together with Andrea. When we got off, it was quite a hike to the DRCS, but Tobi carried me all the way, since I was not able to walk with my injured leg. That's how I came to Brigitte and Werners' house. Andrea from Essen in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

OLIVIA (female) I was brought to the shelter by Alan from Australia. He realized that I was sick and he could not look after me as he was returning home. I felt really unwell when I came here and could do nothing but sit. It turns out I had tick fever. I was given special medication and gradually picked up over a couple of weeks. I became so well, I made a break for freedom. However, I was brought back as I am not really able to survive on the road. Also the food here is better than on the streets (I've put on sooo much weight since coming here). This is the second time I have visited the shelter. The first time I was only in for neutering and was put back on the street as I was in good condition. As I left the last time, I was given a collar with 'Feed Me' written on it and many tourists did feed me. Now I'm happy here at the shelter and this is where I will stay!

HOLZANA (female) I am actually a real temple dog! My big brother 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, my brother was taking good care of me 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. Life at the shelter is so much easier and my big brother can still keep an eye on me. I am very thankful that we were allowed to come back to the puppy house. Hildegard from Walde in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

NORA (female) Unfortunately the first three months of my life were everything else but nice. I was locked up in a tiny little cage where I could hardly move and my so called owner kept kicking me. But even as a little puppy I had a strong voice and so I just kept on howling until one day a lovely neighbor came to rescue me. He took me in his strong arms and brought me to the Dog Rescue Center where I finally had some other little ones to play with. I didn't really like it in the big compound as the bigger dogs kept nipping me. That's why I can now stay in the big open kitchen area where we have plenty of space to fool around. My life has changed for the better and I have never felt more free than here at the shelter!

STAR BAY (männlich) I am Star Bay and looking for a godfather. Previously I lived in the bungalow resort Star Bay in Lamai. They didn't want me there no more and would have probably killed me. The Manger, who was in the Star Bay previously, had just abandoned me there before he left the island. Now I am in Brigittes and Werners house and loiter the entire day in bed around. I am very mangy in the face, but I am rubbed now daily with Ivomec. And it should be a panacea against mange. I hope that I never have to go back into this terrible bungalow resort. There nobody stroked me any more. At the same time I am a super cuddle and become to be stroked gladly. I am house-trained, although in my manner! I contribute considerably to the cost-cutting in the DRCS, because cat litter is expensive in Thailand.
Star Bay ist leider verstorben. In der Zeit in der er im Tierheim war, hatte Ursula aus Kornwestheim die Patenschaft für mich übernommen. TEXT IN ENGLISH WILL FOLLOW SOON

MAUSI SONG female) Ich kam ins Tierheim nach Chaweng nachdem ich von einem Hund am Schwanz erwischt worden bin. Er hat mir fast meinen schönen Schwanz rausgerissen als er nach mit schnappte. Ich konnte zum Glück entkommen, aber die Wunde entzündete sich stark und ich verkroch mich unter einem Marktstand und wollte sterben. Die Thais, denen der Stand gehörte zogen mich unter den Brettern vor und brachten mich ins DRCS. Dort wurde meine Wunde versorgt und der kleine Rest von meinem Schwanz musste komplett amputiert werden. Brigitte hat mich sofort in ihr Herz geschlossen und gab mir neuen Lebensmut. Als die riesige Wunde verheilt war, durfte ich zu den anderen Katzen im Haus. Ich kann seit dem "Unfall" leider nicht mehr den Kot halten und verliere ständig Ködel. Am Tage darf ich wie alle andern Katzen auch auf dem Bett liegen, aber nachts muss ich mit einigen Hunden im Badezimmer schlafen, weil ich ständig die Bettwäsche beschmutze. Inzwischen habe ich mich an mein Nachtlager gewöhnt. Es ist auch sehr luxuriös. Eigener Korb mit Überdachung, eigenen Katzentoilette, Futter, Wasser und alles ganz für mich alleine. Natürlich würde ich auch nachts gerne im Bett schlafen, aber das geht wohl nicht. Brigitte sagt, dass ich zufrieden sein kann, dass sie mich nicht ins Tierheim nach Bahn Taling Ngam gebracht. Nun gut, verstehen tue ich das zwar nicht ganz, aber ich bin gerne im Haus in Chaweng und nachts throne ich über den Hunden und habe eine ungestörte Nachtruhe.

RED (female) Red had a bad accident. She was hit by a motorbike. Her right paw was broken several times and could not be saved. It had to be amputated. Unfortunately the healing process turned out to be a difficult procedure and she was left with a huge wound. We almost lost Red. Thanks to the treatments of Dr. Sid, Red could be saved. The left paw was badly affected too, but could be saved. To speed up the wound healing, we treated her every day with a lacer machine. Hallo, ich bin RED und HIER könnt ihr meine Geschichte mit vielen Fotos sehen Petra from Achern-Grossweier in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

PORKI (male)
I was brought to the Dog Rescue Center by my owner because I had mange and my skin started to open up in certain parts. I just scratched myself all day long and I smelled miserably, not like a dog anymore. More like cheese, and my owner didn't like this smell at all. Unfortunately my treatment took months and always I heard that next week I would be brought back. One day Dr. Sid spoke with Brigitte. I listened to them undercover. After all, they were talking about me! My old owner didn't want me back. That was ok with me, in the meantime I got used to all the cats and I gained weight. I was feeling ok. My fur started to grow back and everything was fine with me. Why would I want to leave here? Best thing was, that the cats were fed meat all day long. You would not believe how much I helped myself in the beginning! Now I am round just like a real pug.
Tood und Jacqui from Australia are now looking after me. Thank you very much!

FINNY (female) My little sister and I were saved by two Finnish tourists. Without them we probably wouldn’t have survived. My sister was very very sick and I also didn’t feel too well. Unfortunately I was unable to help her and most of the time we were just sleeping in a quiet place behind an empty house with hardly any food to be found. Once we arrived at the DRCS shelter, they put us in a little box. I knew straight away that those people with the Team-T-shirt were only trying to help us. My sister was a little more suspicious though. They put her on a drip and I had to be real careful to not pull that thing out while snuggling up to her. Two weeks later we were already on the way to become healthy strong puppies and settled in well in the puppy house. Only recently I got to know that those two Finnish tourists planned to take us to Finland. Unfortunately nobody has ever heard from them again and we missed the chance to find an owner when we were still 2 young and pretty puppies. Last week my sister got lucky and I could watch her walking out of the DRCS-gate with her new family. I miss her but I am very happy for her and hopefully one day I will find my own family too. If not, not to worry. I love it here, made a lot of friends and can enjoy my teenager days here at the puppy house. Roger from Schaffhausen in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

METZI (female) I was picked up by the DRCS when I was a very small and very mangy puppy. I'm not exactly sure but I believe the reason why I used to be 'naked' was because my mum and I lived on the street and got our food from some dirty smelly garbage bins. One day my mum disappeared and that's when I was brought to the shelter. It took me some time to make friends here, probably because I was so smelly. Thankfully the DRCS-people didn't care much about that and gave their best to make me swallow those colorful pills twice a day and every so often they gave me an injection and told me that it was only for my own good. My fur has started to grow for the first time in my life and I hope that I will soon be a pretty good looking dog...well I definitely smell much better than I used to.. Claudia from Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DAFI (female) Until not long ago I had a very nice home. A big family (even though I was never allowed to go inside the house and often they didn’t pay any attention to me, I was proud to have my own family), there was a huge garden and we even had sea view. One day my family took me away with the car and I was already dead excited to be going on a drive. When we stopped in front of the DRCS gate, I didn’t understand that I was supposed to get out of the car because of all the barking and I started to feel a little scared. A friendly Thai man took me in his arms and put me into the teenager compound. I’ve never seen my family again. I’ve never really understood why they wanted to get rid of me but meanwhile I don’t really care anymore. I didn’t really feel comfortable in the teenager compound, I’ve always preferred the bigger dogs. I’m still a pretty young dog and it makes me feel strong when I’m surrounded by all those ‘grownups’. I am looking forward to soon be an adult myself. The food here at the shelter is delicious and definitely much better than it ever was at home. Nicole from Jegensdorf in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much! |

SEVEN (male)
I
am SEVEN and have been wondering around the area close to the 7/11
supermarket on the ring road in Chaweng for quite some time now. Everybody
knew me but they were all unable to catch me. I have had enough bad
experiences with humans so I decided to never get tortured again. Good news: I found a new home and now live in Germany. While I was living in the shelter, Patrizia from Germany was looking after me. Thank you very much. |

Brigitte and Michael |
ROBI (male) I arrived at Brigittes and Werners as a tiny kitten. I was a single fighter and this I still am, when it's about getting the love of Brigitte and Werner. Tourists found me on the market underneath a table. The owner of the market didn't want to have me, because he already has enough cats of his own. The tourists brought me to the DRCS, which is right across the corner. This is where I was in a single cell for one month. They always talked about germns and bacteria which are all over the house and lots of my colleagues already died from them. I have put up a great fight in my cell because I was so lonely. One day the waiting was over and I was let go to freedom. I have connected immediately with Brigitte and Werner and from what I hear, Brigitte likes me a lot and already said that I don't have to go to the animal pound later. Of course I don't know what an animal pound is, but for sure it's nothing good, and I like it a lot here. The dishes are always full of food and I even have a bed to sleep in! 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, Brigitte and Michael from Krefeld in Germany were looking after me. Thank you very much.

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. Renate from Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

SABI (female) I was brought to the DRCS when I was a little tiny kitten. Some tourists found me on the roadside and figured that my mum would not come back. They put me in a cage for four weeks and made me watch all the other cats running and playing around. Don’t think that I enjoyed that! But unfortunately there are so many dangerous viruses in Brigitte and Werners house and a lot of little kittens, so they all have to be vaccinated first and then stay isolated from the others for some time. This procedure has saved many lives already. When I was finally allowed to leave the cage, I showed my best side. And it worked! After I got spayed, I didn’t land up in the cat house at the big shelter, No, I was brought back to Brigitte and Werners house! I have a lovely soft fur and love to be snuggle. Antoinette from Effretikon in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

SUSIE SONG (female)
I was cought by Sue, a very animal
friendly English lady and Wit, the manager of the dog rescue center, on
the street to the airport. Sue was picking up her husband at the airport
when she saw me standing on the street. She called Poppies to have her
husband picked up, he is the manager there. Poppies is on Chaweng beach,
and sponsors the DRCS for many years. She now didn't think of her husband
anymore, but of me.... and how to catch me. She spoke very softly to me
and when Wit arrived, I very willingly went inside the cage.
I was brought to the animal pound of Bahn
Taling Nigam.There is was put in the openair sick-station. This is the big
place in front of the clinic. This is where all dogs want to go. But only
the worst ones like me are allowed to stay. Since my treatment was going
to take months. I could not be put in a single box. I felt great at the
pound, because there are always a lot of visitors with goodies. I even get
pet every once in a while. Nobody likes naked stinking dogs. But this is
all in the past for me. Of course I will not have to back on the street,
but I don't know if I can stay at this station with added kitchen forever.
But us dogs don't usually care about tomorrow.
Eliane from Mägenwil in Switzerland is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

LENNI (male) Der Hotelmanger Falk Wetschat vom Pinnacle Grand in Jomptien wollte uns einschläfern lassen, weil Juana uns gefüttert hat. Bitte schaut in die Homepage www.hotel-kosamui.com unter infos and news und nehmt an der Protestaktion gegen den deutschen Manager Falk Wetschat teil! Er hat an Juana einen Brief geschrieben, dass er Hunde einschläfern lässt, die von Touristen am Strand vom Pinnacle Grand gefüttert werden. Thailand ist ein buddhistisches Land in dem Hunde nicht eingeschläfert werden solange sie fressen können. Kein Tierarzt würde so etwas machen. "Schläfert" er die Hunde selber ein? Was meint er mit einschläfern? Vergiften? Der Protest hat geholfen. Der Manager ist ins Pinnacle nach Koh Samui versetzt worden. Manita, die dort vorher Manager war, ist nach Bangkok versetzt worden. Manita hat im Pinnacle immer wieder die Hunde vergiftet, aber es war ihr nicht zu beweisen. Herr Wetschat hat auf Samui seine Einstellung zu Hunden geändert und unterstützt uns. Ich glaube ihm und denke, dass auch Tierfreunde im Pinnacle wieder Urlaub machen können, unbeschwert durch Vergiftungsaktionen, vom wem auch immer durchgeführt. Juana hat mich und RUDI aus Jomtien (Nähe Pattaja) nach Koh Samui gebracht. Ich habe inzwischen ein Heim in Holland gefunden.

Ich glaube ihm und denke, dass auch Tierfreunde im Pinnacle wieder Urlaub machen können, unbeschwert durch Vergiftungsaktionen, vom wem auch immer durchgeführt. Rudi hatte auch schon ein Heim in Berlin gefunden. Leider hat er sich kurz vor Abflug aus dem Staub gemacht und ist bisher nicht wieder aufgetaucht. Es geht ihm sicher gut, denn er hat die ganze Zeit, die er bei uns im DRCS war, vor der Tür gelebt. Er ist öfter mal ein paar Tage weg gewesen und dann wiedergekommen. Ich denke, dass er sich ein neues Heim auf Samui gesucht hat. Juana aus Berlin in Deutschland hat mich und LENNI aus Jomtien (Nähe Pattaja) nach Koh Samui gebracht.

DASTY (male) Honestly speaking, I don’t really feel like talking about my past. Ohh and have I mentioned, I sneaked myself into the DRCS! They only found out when they did the yearly check up and vaccinated all the cats. Of course I had no registration card! Thankfully nobody made a big deal out of it. They took my picture, got me a registration card and I can now legally continue to eat my Brekkies. I’m actually a very lovely cat and luckily I have found my own personal sponsor now….I’m so happy to spend my future in this posh cat house!
Thomas from Leimen in Germany is now looking after me. The sponsorship for me is a birthday present from Silke to her friend Thomas. Thank you very much!

VERA (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. Finally I get enough food and my fur is growing and growing. I used to be as good as naked and I was constantly itching until I got wounds all over my body. Since I'm here in Samui I don't feel itchy anymore. I guess that's because of those little colorful balls we get in the morning and in the evening, hidden inside some delicious dog food. Alexander from Neuhof (Hessen) in Germany is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

DANY (weiblich) Dany vom DIVEPOINT hat mich am Straßenrand entdeckt. (Tierfreunde tauchen natürlich immer mit DIVEPOINT). Ich war ziemlich heruntergekommen. Kaum noch Fell und sehr dünn. Ihr könnt mehr Fotos von mir im Dezember Rundbrief 2006 sehen Rundbrief Dezember 2006. Ich ließ mich nach kurzer Zeit von ihr überlisten und sie warf mir ein Decke über und verstaute mich in ihrem Auto. Ab ging's nach Chaweng ins DRCS. Da ich eine ganz liebe bin und keine Katzen jage (nur ab und zu heimlich), durfte ich sofort ins Haus von Brigitte und Werner einziehen. Ich erholte mich schnell und wurde, als ich gut zugenommen hatte und mein Fell wieder gut aussah, sterilisiert. Danach kam ich wieder ins Haus nach Chaweng. Plötzlich bekam ich einen blauen Schleier auf beiden Augen und war blind. Ich bin überall gegen gerannt. Aber schon nach zwei Tagen kannte ich mich im Haus so gut aus, dass ich mit meiner Behinderung klar kam. Wir Hunde haben ja schließlich auch noch eine Nase! Blindi (Patenhunde 6) lebt jetzt schon fast 9 Jahre mit Brigitte und Werner zusammen. Sie wurde ohne Augen geboren. Ihr solltet sie mal sehen. Da merken viele gar nicht, dass sie nicht sehen kann. Zum Glück ging der Schleier auf meinen Augen nach intensiver Behandlung mit Antibiotika und Augensalbe schnell zurück und ich konnte schon nach kurzer Zeit wieder sehen. Kaum hatte ich mich von diesem Schreck erholt, bekam ich starke Gleichgewichtstörungen. Ich schoss nur so durch die Gegend und bin wie betrunken rumgetorkelt. Der Arzt hat wieder alle möglichen Medikamente verschrieben und siehe da, ich konnte schon bald meine Pfoten wieder besser kontrollieren. Ich wackle immer noch ein wenig beim Laufen - nicht immer - aber eigentlich geht es mir gut. Im Moment habe ich einen Räuderückfall, d. h. ich verliere mal wieder mein Fell. Ich bin in Behandlung und guten Mutes, das ich bald wieder voll befellt bin. Pia aus Deutschland will in Zukunft für mich sorgen. Vielen Dank!

CHANEL (female) I was born at the Easy-Diver-Office in Bophud. Everything was alright. Mama had found a nice corner in the storage room and cared very well for me and my siblings. When we were three weeks old and started to eat yummy canned food, Mama did not return from one of her tours. The animal lovers from the diving shop were looking for her and found her: dead - poisoned. Since we needed intensive care and the shop was not always manned, we could no longer stay there. We were taken to DRCS in Chaweng. Werner gave us milk every few hours but both of my siblings passed away shortly after. I became a beautiful cat. I spent my childhood and youth in Chaweng and was very happy. When I was old enough, I was taken to Bahn Taling Ngam for neutering. After spending one week in a terrible cage, I was put into the cat house. First I did not know what was happening. Why was I supposed to live here? I had always enjoyed lying in bed! In the beginning I was very unhappy and sat in one corner. But after a while I got used to the situation and I was looking forward to Brigitte’s visits. I knew some cats from the house in Chaweng whom I liked. They, of course, are also looking forward to Brigitte’s visits and it is a real challenge to be in the first row for petting. 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, Ursula from Bad Oldesloe in Germany was looking after me. Thank you very much.

GEROLD (male) I came with Ellen, Raoul, Tamila and Tiana to DRCS.
We were put into a cardboard box and placed on the back of a pick-up
belonging to DRCS. Fortunately it did not rain that night. We cried as loud
as we could all night, but nobody heard us. Since the box was tightly
secured and we were only six weeks old, that is all we could do. Finally in
the morning somebody found us. We were so hungry! Brigitte was very
delighted when she saw our group in the box. In the beginning Werner gave us
additional milk in the bottle. We all felt very comfortable here at DRCS.
There was ample food, and most of the big cats were nice to us. The whole
day was filled with eating, sleeping and playing. We met Lisa. Lisa (sponsor
dogs and cats 25) is a very special cat. She is devotedly taking care of all
kittens. She lets us suck at her nipples - that is really calming. And she
always cleaned us thoroughly and showed us how to do that. Lisa has nurtured
so many kittens without mothers - that is why Renee from New York in the U.S. is now looking after me. Thank you very much!

GLORIA (female) 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. Nicole and Bruno from Kriens in Switzerland are now looking after me. Thank you very much!
Endlich habe ich meine Patin Nicole persönlich kennen gelernt.

Don (when he first arrived)

 DON (male) I came to the shelter in such a bad condition that no one expected me to survive. I was given infusion after infusion and I lived in a basket in the kitchen. I couldn't move from there because I was so weak. I started to get stronger but I pretended I was still ill because I liked to stay in the house with all the other dogs and cats. Eventually Brigitte clocked me as she caught me running about the garden playing with Fanta and Husky - what sport it was to chase the stupid cats who rule the house. As a result, I was sent to the big shelter for castration and Janine cuddles (her special method of caring for dogs). When my hair grew back, Brigitte didn't recognise me and so we had a special party just to celebrate me and my new hair. Peter from Brussels in Belgium is now looking after me. Thank you very much!
