Thank you so much to everyone who shared Buffy far and wide, sent love, and helped him be seen.

This lovely boy will be heading to an experienced, loving home with another senior male dog, and I’m so happy to see his next chapter begin 🤍

Over the last few days, Buffy has developed a little paw infection, likely contributed to by the wet season and outdoor living. So we’re getting him all vet checked, treated and up to date before his big move.

Once his paw is fully healed, he’ll be ready to travel and begin his fresh new chapter in the best possible way! 🐾

🔑 Buffy and his new family will be supported through the settling in process if needed, because finding the right home is only one part of the journey.

Helping both dogs and humans through the transition matters too.🐾

A big thank you again to this wonderful dog community. The way people come together for dogs like Buffy and Shanti is always so special.

Thank you to Buffys new wonderful family for reaching out and offering their home and all for Mr B.
Stay tuned for updates once he’s settled in! 🤍

Good News!…🥳🐾🙌🏻

A little Monday appreciation post for the wonderful dog community. 🐾🤍

For everyone who has shared, supported and helped spread the word about Shanti and Buffy, THANK YOU! 🫶🏻

For those who don’t know their story, these two beautiful senior dogs, mum and son, found themselves needing new homes after their beloved human, Marina, sadly passed away.

Marina was a wonderful woman with an enormous heart for animals. She cared for so many, and supported the people who dedicated their lives to helping them, too.

And I think she’d be smiling seeing just how many people have come together for her beloved dogs. 🤍

A little update!

At 12 years old, and living with lung cancer, Shanti is now a couple of weeks into her new home and absolutely THRIVING! Laurel Smith She’s enjoying new adventures, looking younger than ever, and has a wonderful new lease of life. 🥹

And as for our lovely Buffy… stay tuned. I have some news to share later today! 🤞🏻🐾

The dog world can be heartbreaking sometimes. We see some really difficult things. But it can also be such a beautiful community when people come together, support one another and remember why we’re all here.

We do this for the dogs, but we need the people too. And I’ll never stop advocating for the wonderful humans behind them.

From rescuers and shelter teams to dog professionals, families and everyone who simply took a moment to share their story, thank you.

Dogs have this incredible way of bringing people together. And when we work together, beautiful things really can happen.

Here’s to Marina, the love she gave, and the next chapters for Shanti and Buffy. 🤍

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week!

HOME NEEDED for this gorgeous, goofy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix sadly lost his beloved human, who passed away. Now, at 10 years old, he’s looking for a new family here in Thailand. 🏡

And time is running out. 💔

Meet Buffy! 🐾

His current caregiver leaves Thailand in mid November, and foster options are limited.

Here’s what you need to know about Buffy…

He’s gentle, affectionate, wonderfully goofy and still full of life!

He loves swimming gentle walks, car rides, cuddles, being brushed and of course FOOD! 😅

He’s lived happily with dogs, cats and children. Even barking street dogs following don’t bother him. Absolutely none of his business! 😂

All Buffy needs is someone to share life’s simple pleasures with. 🤍

🐾 Buffy at a glance:

📍 Ao Nang, Krabi | Can travel within Thailand
🐶 Male, 10 years old | Neutered & vaccinated
🤍 Dog, cat & child friendly

🩺 History of epilepsy, currently off medication and doing well
🚗 Transport assistance, medical records & food provided

One share could change the rest of Buffy’s life. 🤍

SIX DAYS IN SHANTI’S NEW HOME! 🏡🤍🐾

Six days on, and our lovely Shanti is doing incredibly well!

I caught up with Laurel, Shanti’s new human, for an adoption aftercare call to check on how they’re both settling in and offer some guidance for the next chapter.

And the update is a happy one! 🥹

Shanti is content, relaxed and already eagerly waiting by the gate for her daily walks! She may not be able to walk far, but there’s certainly a spring in her step as she explores her beautiful new surroundings. And yes, she’s reunited with her beloved tennis ball! 🎾

One thing I loved hearing was that Shanti still prefers sleeping on the cool tiles rather than her lovely new dog bed.

After years of living mostly outdoors on a patio, tiles are what she knows. They’re familiar, comfortable and safe to her.

And that’s an important reminder for anyone adopting a dog.

We often have expectations of what a lovely new home should look and feel like for a rescue dog. But dogs don’t necessarily share those expectations.

Some settle quickly, others take weeks or months. Some may be withdrawn, overwhelmed or distressed by the change. Others, like Shanti, adapt remarkably well.

Our job isn’t to rush them into enjoying their new life. It’s to give them the choice, time and space to discover it at their own pace. And if Shanti always prefers the tiles? That’s absolutely fine too!

During our call, Laurel and I discussed Shanti’s nutrition, comfort, behaviour, relationship building and what to consider moving forward.

This is something I’m incredibly passionate about in rescue. Adoption shouldn’t be where support ends.

I understand that rescues are often stretched for time and resources, but even a little education, preparation and aftercare can make a huge difference in helping dogs settle and families feel confident.

It’s how we set everyone up for success and help dogs stay in their homes. 🤍

Despite Shanti’s cancer, tumours and mobility challenges, her health is currently stable, and she’s happy, comfortable and enjoying life.

Thank you, Laurel, for giving this special girl the love, patience and security she deserves in her final chapter.

Here’s to many more gentle walks, tennis balls and happy days together. 🥹🤍

SHANTI’S NEW CHAPTER, PART 2! 🏡🤍🐾

A few more special moments from the day 12-year-old Shanti met her new human, Laurel. 🥹

For those who missed Shanti’s story, her beloved human sadly passed away, leaving Shanti and her furry family needing new homes.

With lung cancer and tumours, Shanti was unable to fly to Germany to join her extended family. At 12 years old, she needed somewhere safe, peaceful and loving to spend whatever time she has left. 🤍

And thankfully, we found just that!

From gentle beach walks and a little paddle in the sea to simply relaxing together, it was a beautiful first day getting to know one another.

Laurel also spent time with Shanti’s furry family, including her 10-year-old son, Buffy, who is still looking for his forever home. 🐾

One of these photos captures Buffy saying goodbye to his mum before she set off on her new adventure. 🥹🤍

While Shanti’s next chapter has begun, Buffy and the others are still waiting for their happy endings.

A huge thank you again to everyone who helped make this possible, and especially to Laurel for opening her heart and home to Shanti.

Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are simply giving someone a safe place to belong. 🤍

Here’s to more happy endings! 🐾

And please, let’s help Buffy find his person too! 🙏🏻

Shanti’s son… Buffy needs a HOME!🫶🏻🏡🙏🏻

10 YEARS OLD, GOOFY AS EVER… AND LOOKING FOR HIS PERSON!🤍

Remember Shanti, the 12-year-old girl who recently found her forever home?

Well, meet her son, Buffy! 🐾

The incredible support for Shanti showed us how far one post can travel. Now let’s do the same for her boy. 🤍

🤍Buffy’s wonderful human sadly passed away, and while other family pets have found homes overseas, Buffy needs a new home here in Thailand.

I met him recently and honestly… what a character!

Gentle, goofy, affectionate and still very much enjoying life at 10 years old.

He’s got a spark in his eye, a stride in his step and a love for just about everyone and everything.

Gentle walks, swimming, car rides, cuddles, being combed and, of course, FOOD. 😅

We even walked past street dogs barking at him and Buffy couldn’t have cared less. Absolutely none of his business. 😂

He’s lived happily with dogs, cats and children, and would be equally happy with other pets or as someone’s one and only.

He might be slowing down, but he’s certainly not ready to retire from life!

Just a loving home, companionship and someone to share his gentle adventures with. 🤍

A little about Buffy:

📍 Ao Nang, Krabi | Can travel within Thailand
🐾 10 | Male | Golden Retriever/Labrador mix | Weight - on a diet 🙈
✂️ Neutered & fully vaccinated
🩺 History of epilepsy, now off medication and doing well
🐶 Dog friendly | 🐱 Cat friendly | 👧 Child friendly
🚗 Transport assistance available
📋 Medical records & food provided

Time is a little tight.

Buffy’s current family caregiver leaves Thailand in November, and foster options in Krabi are limited.

He’s already lost his person.
Let’s help him find someone to share his next chapter with. 🤍

Could you offer Buffy a home? Please DM me.

And if you can’t, PLEASE SHARE! 🙏🏻

Let’s see if we can do it one more time for Buffy. 🤍

SHE’S FOUND HER HOME! 🥹❤️

Lovely Shanti has found her forever home!

Firstly, THANK YOU to everyone who shared her story, sent love and helped this wonderful girl be seen.

Shanti’s previous wonderful person, who sadly passed away recently, was an incredible woman who helped so many people and animals throughout her life.🤍

A little part of me feels she’s still working her magic, bringing everyone together to make sure her girl receives the love, care and comfort she deserves.

I’m so pleased to share that Shanti now has a safe place to spend this next chapter of her life, making memories and being loved and cared for. ❤️

I’ll share more updates once she’s settled in with her new family and as part of Shelter to Strength belief of adopting out a dog, Shanti’s new family will of course receive support and guidance for the settling in period 🙂

But before I go, there’s someone else I’d love you to meet!

Shanti has a son called Buffy. He’s 10 years old, has a beautiful nature, gets along with people and other animals, and enjoys his little walks.

Buffy is still looking for his home. I’ll be sharing his story very soon.

For now, thank you again to everyone who shared the love and reached out too. Dog lovers coming together bloody rock! 💪🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️🐾

SHANTI NEEDS A HOME 🏡 At 12 years old, Shanti’s wonderful person has recently passed away. Now she needs someone for the chapter that comes next. 🤍

Some of the animals she shared her home with have already found places to go. Now I really hope it can be Shanti’s turn.

She’s currently in Ao Nang, Krabi, but can travel by car within Thailand for the right home.

I went to meet her recently and, well… she’s just lovely.

Gentle, easygoing and affectionate. She’s quite content to lie somewhere comfortable, have a cuddle and watch the world go by.

She gets along with dogs, cats, children and people. She loves being brushed, loves her food 😅 and apparently 12 years has done absolutely nothing to lessen her obsession with tennis balls 😂🎾

There’s still a little spark in this old girl.

Shanti has lung cancer, currently managed with daily medication. She also has some growths which aren’t causing her discomfort and are being left alone. She is comfortable and currently not in pain.

Her mobility is very limited and she can no longer go for normal walks, although she’ll happily potter a little way for something important… 🥎

What Shanti needs now isn’t adventures.

She needs a quiet, comfortable home, easy access outside for bathroom breaks, companionship, cuddles and someone willing to care for her as her needs change.

However long the time she has remaining may be, she deserves for it to feel safe, comfortable and loved.

📍 Ao Nang, Krabi | Can travel by car within Thailand
🐾 12 | Female | Golden Retriever/Labrador mix
🤍 Spayed & vaccinated
🐶 Dog friendly | 🐱 Cat friendly | 👧 Child friendly
🏡 Ground-floor/access-friendly home needed
🩺 Medication, medical records & ongoing veterinary guidance provided

Shanti is around 40kg (currently on a diet 😅). Although she doesn’t need walking, her new family will need to be able to manage her mobility and physical care.

If you think you could be Shanti’s soft place to land, please send me a message.

And if you can’t take her yourself, please share 🙏🏻

Shanti’s person might simply be someone who hasn’t met her yet. 🤍
