Help! Does anyone know a shop with this in Thimphu/elsewhere in Bhutan? Or any kind of goat milk...carton or canned?

Or anyone traveling from Bangkok in the very near future that could bring some along? We'll buy and pay extra baggage fees.

Please message us if so... We need LOTS for a new baby. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️

*** REWARD ***
LOST DOG AT PARO
HAVE YOU SEEN MARLEY?

Last seen in the Shomo area, above Metta Resort
Please share 🙏🏼 🐕 🙏🏼

Have you seen this beautiful dreadlocked girl? She and her family recently moved from Thimphu, and Marley unfortunately wandered off 2 nights ago. She is an old girl so likely lost and confused, but very friendly. She doesn't hear very well either, so desperately needs your help to find her way home.

She may be anywhere in Paro now, so please be on the lookout.

Please, PLEASE contact her very worried family if you see or have seen her. Please also share in any neighborhood group chats to help further spread the word. Any information whatsoever greatly appreciated. Kindly contact #17964411 day or night.

Thank you ❤️

Meanwhile, at the Barnyard Bhutan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary ... Thank you so very much everyone for bearing with our silence thru construction, moving, and all the work still to be done... And to all the kind souls who go that extra mile (or many extra bumpy muddy kilometers in our case) to bring animals ❤️🙏🏼
