Sangkhlaburi Animal Sanctuary

Somjud was left bleeding by the roadside – now she has a HOME!

From near death to home near a beach in England – YOU made this possible.

 

Not every story we share has a happy ending.

But today… this one does!

And it’s because of compassion like yours.

Somjud was a small, gentle dog who hung out by a local 7-Eleven store. She greeted everyone with a wagging tail, asking for nothing but scraps of food and a little kindness. And for a while, that was enough to survive.

Until one day, it wasn’t.

She was found lying by the roadside, her leg crushed after being hit by a car. In pain. Alone. Unable to stand. She was rushed her to our free clinic. We tried everything we could. But in the end, we had to make the hardest decision.

Her leg couldn’t be saved. It had to be amputated.

What followed was a long, painful recovery. Bandage after bandage. Days of healing. Weeks of uncertainty. And through it all… Somjud never lost her gentle spirit. She trusted. She endured. She stayed kind.

And then something extraordinary happened…

 

Two volunteers, Owen and Megan, from the UK met Somjud… and fell completely in love. When they left to continue their travels – they couldn’t forget her. So, they came back. For two weeks, they stayed by her side. Slept next to her. Bonded with her. Loved her. And Somjud – who once had no one – found her family.

Just yesterday, she began an incredible journey…

 

…eight hours from our small sanctuary in Sangkhlaburi to Bangkok… then, a 12-hour flight to Paris… and finally, a long drive and ferry to her new home in Brighton, England. A journey of thousands of miles – toward a life filled with safety, love, and even walks along the beach.

This is what your support makes possible. Not just survival. But transformation. From suffering… to safety. From abandonment… to belonging.

But for every Somjud, there are so many more still waiting.

 

Dogs hit by cars. Cats left to suffer. Animals with no one to notice them… until it’s almost too late.

We will NEVER turn them away.

But we can’t save them without you.

Please, if you can, donate today (in any currency) to help us be there for the next animal in need:

– $35 helps provide bandages, medication, and food

– $50 helps fund urgent, life-saving treatment

– $100 helps give sanctuary and a second chance

Somjud’s story could have ended on that roadside. Instead, it ends near a beach… with a family who loves her. That’s the difference you make. And it’s the difference I’m asking you to help make again – right now.

With heartfelt gratitude,

PS: Somjud’s journey isn’t just a rescue story – it’s proof of what’s possible when compassion meets action.

Your gift today will help us create more stories like hers.
