Activity Report – April 2022

161 more dogs have been sterilized and were taken back to their living places. The total number of sterilized dogs now stands at 9,201.

Except for Baam, Ivy and Emma, all other shelter dogs have been spared the distemper virus. Tarik, however, succumbed peacefully following an 8 weeks battle with severe kidney failure.

As usual, several dogs were suffering from treatable health conditions: Victor suffered from swollen lymph nodes on his hind legs; Cookie from an open wound on her left elbow; Khiaow from swollen tissues at her lower belly; Jack from an ear infection; Tiny and Edith from a blood parasites infection; and several dogs from inflammatory spots on their bellies. All dogs have been treated by Dr. Oi and some of them are still on medication.

Kimi and Isco, who have been living at the shelter for more than a year but never settled in properly, have been relocated to Wat Amparahm where they could join their sibling, Jingo, who has already been staying there for six months. Both dogs can now enjoy their freedom at the temple area and on the beach. They will hopefully settle in there.
