Care for Dogs



So, there isn't an awful lot to talk about in terms of the dogs. We mainly did the same thing everyday.
We walked the dogs in the morning and late afternoon (when it isn't too hot). We socialised with them and on occasion gave them baths. This was especially the case with the puppies who were often taken to adoption fairs.

The sanctuary was split into lots of different stations. There was reception, which gave you entrance to a walk way so you could walk round to all the different enclosure. In the centre was the main enclosure where most of the dogs were. Alex and I rarely ventured into this enclosure as being surrounded by 100 dogs is pretty scary.
There was a bathing station, an enclosure for recovering dogs, one of elderly dogs, one for shy dogs, one for dogs with cancer, one for teens, one for puppies and a couple of other ones for dogs that need to be separated for one reason or another.

One night our 3rd bike disappeared so Tara,Alex and I had to walk to get food. After walking for about 10-15 minutes a women on a motorbike pulled up alongside us and asked where we were going. We said that we were looking for food. She said that there was food at the canyon and then offered to drive us all there!
At first we said no cos that would mean that there would be 4 people on the motorbike but were were eventually persuaded. The road was very quiet and the lady drove slowly for us.

Turned out there was no food at the canyon, so our quest for food was still on.
We eventually found a restaurant where we had a nice meal. Unfortunately, by the time we left it was dark. This made our walk home pretty scary as dogs get super territorial at night. We got back safely but not without being barked at and followed by some!

 We stayed at Care for Dogs until the 1st November (staying one more week than we had intended), after which we returned to main Chiang Mai.
