📌HELP NEEDED📌
This is how our March started
As full as we currently are with dogs in paid foster care and the bills that come with them, it’s not possible to walk away when you come across an injured dog struggling on the street. He was so tired of walking, crossing the busy street back and forth, trying to find a quiet, cool corner to just rest. Luckily for him, we managed to block the traffic and get him across safely. He was like a big, squishy, sweet teddy bear—very easy-going. All we had to do was slip a leash on him and carry him to the car. He was named Giacomo. (Don’t ask 😅)
We assumed he was a lost dog since the locals told us he is new to the area. Our dear friend Sutthilak Tripet also made a post about him in Thai, and even after 440+ shares, there was no news at all.
While this sweet old dog’s vet bill was 4,700 baht (bill attached), he is going to need monthly sponsorship to stay at a paid foster home. He is estimated to be at least 12 years old, with a broken leg that can be fixed, but we worry about putting him through anesthesia at his age, so we are still debating on that. His blood test looks surprisingly good, except for anemia, which is treatable. He is already so bouncy after a few days of medication.
We all know what the chances are of him finding a home or even a foster home unless a miracle happens. The plan for now is for him to live out his last years at a paid boarding home with monthly sponsorship. This costs 6,000 baht a month, all included. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can make a one-time donation or a monthly sponsorship of any amount. I realize it is really hard to fundraise for such cases, as most people understandably like to donate towards dramatic and urgent cases.
Please help in any way you can. If it’s not financial help, maybe you can offer to foster an old dog? There is honestly nothing more rewarding 💗. We will provide food and will be responsible for any vet care during that period.
