Last year, we introduced you to Neang, one of our Unsung Heroes who has dedicated her life to the street dogs of Thailand. At nearly 70 years old, Neang spends her days cooking over a charcoal fire before loading batches of cooked rice, mixed with dog food, onto the back of her bike and traveling approximately 40 km to feed vulnerable street dogs.
When her old bike was no longer up to the challenge, we asked for your help and were so grateful to @powerofone_uk for their commitment in helping us to reach our fundraising goal.
The generosity of Power of One did not stop there and the continued support will allow us to continue supporting Neang and her incredible work as we provide food, medical treatment and sterilisation of the nearly 200 dogs who depend on her.
Our team at Jai Dog Rescue is thrilled to introduce you to a young family of community dogs in need of some care.
A "community dog" is a street dog who has no owner but is loosely cared for by an individual or individuals in the community.
We received a call from a shop owner concerned for one of the local dogs living outside their shop. Recently becoming pregnant, this momma dog made a home for her puppies near the shop's entrance underneath a tractor. While normally friendly, her mothering instincts had kicked in, and she quickly found the heavy foot traffic to be too overwhelming and began chasing customers as they came and left the shop.
Jai Dog Rescue was called to assist this mom and her young brood. With a mild sedative administered by our experienced dog catchers, we safely loaded mom and her young pups and brought them to the Farm for a health check. Thankfully, mom and pups appear to be fat and healthy.
Given the mom's reactive behavior to people and dogs, we've decided the best thing for this young family is to relocate them to a quiet new home. Once her puppies are old enough, both mother and pups will return to the clinic for spaying and neutering and start looking for homes and mom will return to the shop owners who care so deeply for her.
For now, one of the shop assistants has kindly offered the family a safe home at their residence. We've donated a pen, plenty of puppy milk, and lots of dog food so that this sweet family can grow up in the peace and quiet of a home environment.
If you would like to help us support this young family and countless others like them, please consider making a donation by clicking the link in our bio today. ❤️

Best friends ready for a new home. 🏡
Massaman, our "Puppy of the Moment", arrived in February when he was just 4 weeks old. He had been abandoned at a temple shelter, where he suffered a leg injury from an attack by another street dog. The Jai team had quickly rescued him, taking him to the vet for an examination and an x-ray. Fortunately, it was only soft tissue damage, and with rest and care, he was expected to recover fully.
Massaman wasn’t alone for too long when a new friend arrived, Tua Dum, was a young puppy, who had been abandoned by someone into a local village. Members of the community were worried for her safety and called the Jai team. With no mother or siblings, her chances of survival were low due to the risk of other street dogs, vehicles, and disease. We intervened, and Tua Dum has been living safely at our Farm ever since.
Now both puppies have been neutered and are desperate to find loving homes of their own. Fully vaccinated and well socialised these two lively friends are ready for the next exciting step in their journey, and we will now be looking to welcome our next “Puppy of the Moment” now that Massaman is healthy and thriving.

Update on Panpan 📢
Our newest resident has been getting used to life at Jai Dog Rescue. She's come so far in such a short time, and we are seeing her worries melt away more and more with each passing day.
Panpan's once tranquil life was shattered when she fell victim to an unfortunate car accident. A spinal fracture, left her paralysed.
Thankfully she continued to receive care from her feeders but as time passed, it became evident that Panpan would never regain the ability to walk and her disability forced her to drag her hind legs. Despite the unwavering efforts of those around her it quickly became evident that she was in need of specialist care.
Panpan is still finding her place at Jai and is currently staying with our elderly residents in the senior kennels. She's understandably nervous about her new surroundings and needs time to decompress and get accustomed to her new neighbours. Already she is showing her personality shining through. Her gentle nature and affectionate personality are quickly winning her the affection of everyone at Jai! We can't wait to see her continue to find her confidence in the coming weeks.
We are genuinely thrilled to provide Panpan with a secure haven which she can spend the remainder of her days. However, we recognize that none of this would have been possible without your unwavering support. Your generous contributions ensure that we can persist in offering a sanctuary to the dogs that require it most.
If you'd like to join our other amazing heroes please click the link in our bio to become a monthly supporter and help us continue our work, helping countless more dogs just like Panpan.
Meet Ole, our sweet rescue pup who's in need of a helping hand! 🐕
Ole used to be a community dog in a neighboring province, showered with love and care by fellow dog enthusiasts. His life was a picture of joy until a few months ago when an unfortunate car accident changed everything.
Despite bravely surviving the accident, Ole bore the scars of the encounter, nursing a broken leg on his own. Struggling with limited resources and funds, the community couldn't provide the medical attention he desperately needed. That's when they heard about the work we do at Jai Dog Rescue and we were able to bring Ole to the Farm to begin treatment
Months had passed, and Ole's determination has been unwavering, but his broken leg still hinders his spirit. To ensure Ole can embrace a new chapter of his life, we're preparing for a crucial surgery – amputating his leg. We're confident that with your support, Ole can reclaim a life filled with happiness.
Ole's quirky personality and zest for life have already won hearts at the Farm. Imagine the boundless joy he'll experience when he's finally pain-free on three legs!
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant impact. Your generosity will make a world of difference in Ole's life. Thank you for your continued support!
Update on Mom! 💕
Mom is the local community dog who was attacked by other dogs. This particularly vicious altercation left Mom with his jawbone exposed and jowls detached.
He was understandably in a lot of pain, so our vets made him comfortable while they decided on the best course of action. While we knew he needed surgery to fix his wound, our vets don’t often see dogs with this type of injury and so we consulted with specialists before preforming his surgery inhouse.
Mom has been doing well and managing to eat a special diet. Unfortunately, with the nature of his injury he has ripped some of the stiches. We are hopeful that this will only impact him aesthetically and not impact his ability to chew and eat. We are still treating the wound as he continues to heal and are extremely grateful to everyone who donated to help cover the costs of his care.
While he heals, we are keeping him active with daily leashed walks and affection but due to his injury we have to monitor his food so extra treats for this handsome lad. Excited to give a new update in the weeks to come when he will be reunited with his human caretakers.
At nearly 70 years old, Neang spends her days cooking over a charcoal fire before loading batches of cooked rice, mixed with dog food, onto the back of her bike and travelling approximately 40km to feed vulnerable street dogs. Neang is nothing short of a hero!
Her unwavering dedication to these dogs is incredible and despite the struggles she faces, she carries on caring for the multitude of hungry dogs who rely on her generosity.
With your support and thanks to the generous donation from @powerofone_uk we were pleased to purchase Neang her beautiful brand new shiny bike, ensuring she is safe and able to commute and provide for the dogs in her care. But, the support doesn’t stop there!
Since the appeal, we’ve:
Delivered around 12,500 meals (rather, Neang has!)
Provided Neang with 4x 20kg bags of dry dog food and a 20kg bag of rice every 3-4 weeks
Begun sterilising and vaccinating the dogs on Neang’s route and we’ll continue servicing this area over the next few years of our CNVR campaign
Thanks to your support with this campaign, you’ve made a tremendous difference for a once struggling local hero like Neang and the countless dogs she cares for. If you'd like to support our community outreach work, helping Neang and other likeminded community members, please setup a donation to our Unsung Heroes project on our website.
Do you recognise this dog? 🧐
We wouldn’t blame you if it took you a minute to figure out who this handsome fella was! Tha Chang has certainly changed a lot since he was rescued months ago.
First rescued off of the streets in a terrible state, Tha Change was suffering from a severe case of mange that left him with almost no fur. His skin was thick and sore from the sunburn and scratching and covered in scabs. Understandably distressed from the pain and irritation, our dog catchers had a difficult time trying to convince Tha Chang that we were there to help.
Once back at Jai and with the help of a mild sedation, we were able to begin treatment. Now, five months down the line and Tha Chang looks like a new dog! His once thick skin has been replaced with gorgeous fur. We absolutely love his new colours and he might be a contender for handsomest hound at Jai!
Thank you to everyone who played a part in his rescue. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to share this exciting update.
Adopt Massaman and Tau Dum. 🐶❤️🐶
While you all know cheeky Massman, Tau Dum is a newer face at the Farm, but both need the same thing; a loving home!
As puppies get older, their chances of getting adopted shrink, meaning that most will stay at Jai for their remainder of their lives. While we love our dogs and do everything within our power to give them the best possible life while in our care, nothing will ever compare to the warmth of their own loving home!
We want to make sure that both happy chaps have the best opportunity of adoption and so we need your help spreading the word.
Massaman is a typical puppy with a personality as big as his ears! He loves to play and can be rehomed with children and other dogs. He loves being the centre of attention so is always finding new ways to entertain everyone at Jai and after a long day of puppy shenanigans there is nothing Massaman loves more than a snooze on a comfortable couch!
Tau Dum is still a little pipsqueak and has some growing to do. He loves to have fun and play is his middle name. He has got some serious speedy in those spindly legs and is quite the bouncy little lamb. He loves to chase his friends and his sweet nature allows him to make friends quickly so would easily fit into a home with existing dogs.
Please help us spread the word about these two puppies and help them find their loving homes!

Meet Tau Dum 🐕
This special little lady is now safe at Jai but just a few short weeks ago she was all alone in a strange new place.
At just a few weeks old, little Tua Dum found herself all alone without a mother or any of her siblings. Abandoned in a local village, her chances of survival were slim as established street dogs typically don’t take well to hyper young puppies taking their food, usually leading to puppies suffering with bite wounds followed by severe infections.
When we got the call that this youngster was abandoned by himself at only a few weeks old, we knew we had to step in. Tua Dum is now at the Farm and receiving all the love and encouragement that a young puppy needs at this crucial developmental stage in their lives.
Now that vaccinations have been given, Tau Dum will quickly be ready for adoption and we know that this sweetheart won't stay with us for too long!
Update on Khao 🥰
Last week we shared the story of sweet Khao. Our team were able to step in and offer assistance, after she was initially rescued by a local animal lover.
Originally found at the local Sompoi temple, she was taken in by a local rescuer to treat her infected wounds, but when the infection continued to spread and with the medical expenses rising, Jai Dog Rescue was contacted to provide emergency support.
Unfortunately, the leg was too far gone to save, and amputation was the best course of action. She is recovering well but has a new set of challenges ahead of her.
Three legged dogs often do very well when returned to their original homes on the streets, provided they have a watchful eye checking in on them. For Khao, returning her to her original home is not an option and so we are looking for a safe new home for sweet Khao. Until we find it, she will be safe and cared for at Jai!
Dog of the Week: LOLA 🏅 • The people have spoken! Ever since we announced the @hautedogscalendar project complete with a Lola cameo, we’ve been asked for an update on how this special little lady is getting on. The answer: wonderfully!!
☀️ Lola is still living her best foster life with @wunderdogrescue since arriving in the UK late last year...and what a difference these past few months have made! Gone are those new arrival nerves, replaced by an infectious confidence and sunny disposition that’s impossible to resist. This clip of Lola chasing her pals really speaks for itself - swipe to see Lola go, go, go!!
💗 In fact, Lola has taken a leaf out of foster sister @maggiethewunderdog’s book and will befriend any and all dog lovers: strangers at the dog park, drinkers at the pub, they’re all fair game to Lola 😂 Thankfully her recall is shaping up nicely, otherwise she’d be going home with anyone and everyone (whether they want another dog or not!!)
🌸 She might be one of the 12 lucky Jai Dogs featuring in this year’s @hautedogscalendar and hoping to bag themselves a home in the process, but we'd LOVE to be able to tell Lola that she’s already got some adoptive interest: head to our website (link in bio) to read Lola’s profile and register your interest in being her forever family.

Yellow’s warm welcome 💛
🐕 Following a worrying run-in with some nasty blood parasites, Yellow’s recovery has gone from strength to strength. She’s done so well that we’ve been able to return her home...and it seems we aren’t the only ones delighted to see her back on her feet!
🙏 We can’t believe how quickly Yellow has bounced back from such a worrying diagnosis, but we have no doubt that she was very happy to be home. Thank you so much to everyone who donated towards her recovery and helped make such wholesome scenes possible.

Play therapy...for Jai Dogs! 🎾
👋 Meet Bom: we don’t know what happened to him before he arrived at Jai, but whatever it was has left him with both physical scars and emotional ones, and he now can’t be around other dogs on The Farm.
💙 But that doesn’t mean he gets forgotten...quite the opposite! Every morning and evening, Bom gets his very own 1-2-1 walk with Mike and whilst our team have been here on the ground, they’ve been spoiling him rotten with a little extra TLC
💞 We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to anyone who donated items: as you can see, it really made Bom’s day!!
🙌 With the necessities like food and medical care being top priority it’s rare that we have spare change for this kind of enrichment: it’s only thanks to your generosity that we can provide dogs like Bom with the extra stimulation he needs to lead a happy, fulfilled life here on The Farm.
💸 To make a dog like Bom very happy indeed, please donate by texting JAI to 70085 or by visiting our website: www.jaidogrescue.org/donate

Dog(s) of the Week: Panda & Spot🏅
🐼 It wasn’t long ago that Panda herself was a new arrival on The Farm and knows all too well what it's like to be a poorly pup with dangerously low odds of survival. Thankfully, she too has fallen head over heels in love with little Spot – who hasn’t!? - and taken Spot under her wing: go Panda!!
🥺 Whether it’s a game of chase or showing her the best (and strangest!) spots to take a dip, we’ve loved seeing Panda and Spot’s friendship blossom. Seeing our younger Jai Dogs bond is always special: we like to think that their shared experience of a less fortunate life = firm friendships as they look ahead to healthier, happier futures.

• Shadow’s magic trick ✨ •
💸 Regular giving doesn’t just cover life-saving surgeries and disease-busting vaccinations, they also fund the ongoing rehabilitation of dogs who’ve been left with the worst trauma of all: the emotional trauma of life on the streets.
🖤 Shadow might be safe in our care now, but it’s still a big, scary world out there...
