BEFORE & AFTERS
Star's
story
Star was found on the road side in very bad condition. She had no fur and was very underweight, she was then brought to the DCRS (Dog & Cat Rescue Samui) which is a larger rescue centre on the island; and Francoise then took her into the sanctuary from there in 2019. Happy tails gave Star the support she needed to get her back to health and now looks like a completely different dog. Star is also currently in need of a sponsor, if you would like to help Star to keep living her happy life at the sanctuary then please visit our sponsor page
Verita's
story
Verita was found in a Thai house. She was only a small puppy and had little to no function of her back two legs as well as a large wound. She was given away and so Francoise took her back to the sanctuary. Verita still cannot use her back legs properly but she goes on daily walks with the other dogs while we hold her up, she wouldn't have survived on the streets and was given a safe haven to live out the rest of her life.
Teng Thai's
story
Teng Thai was found in awful condition with owners who allowed his health to deteriorate, they let us take him back to the sanctuary and get him back to health. Unfortunately after Teng Thai kept getting better and better, he was only with us for 6 months and passed in July 2024. We are proud to say that he had a happy retirement home where he was able to come on our jungle walks and be showered with love. This transformation is incredible and we are happy to have given him the care he needed.
Vita's
story
Our gorgeous Vita came from a neighbour which didn't care for her properly, as seen, she had little fur so she went to another local rescue, DCRS for immediate medical attention. Afterwards she found her forever home with us at Happy Tails and she's now full of fur. She is now happy and comfortable and her after is unrecognisable!
Bluebell's
story
Bluebell was found on the street by a friend of the sanctuary, it looked like she had been attacked by a dog with multiple bite wounds so it was good that we found her when we did. She was taken to the vet and her wounds were treated, she healed and grew up at the sanctuary and she is now a mischievous and cheeky cat but so loving.
Chico's
story
Chico was found in Chaweng on the streets only as a little puppy in bad condition. He had little fur, problematic skin and due to the low survival rates of puppies on the street, Francoise took him to the vet to be put on medication and since then he's grown up and lived happily at the sanctuary ever since, he is around 10 years old now!
Pollux's
story
Pollux was one of the street dogs that we used to feed every day, he had very long and matted fur that was the main issue, but he was also very nervous and scared of loud noises, among other things, which with a pack of dogs who have to fight for food, this was a struggle for him being dominated. He needed a home where he would get groomed regularly and a place to build up his confidence, and happy tails made that possible for him. He is like a little teddy bear who now has lots of friends and a safe place to run around all day!
