About Adopting

Adoption is about giving a second chance. We strive to find loving, warm homes where the animal's quality of life is always our top priority.

Many of our dogs have faced hardships. While they may not be "perfect," they are ready to offer unconditional love.

What they need is simple: a safe space, food, water, and someone to care for them. In a nurturing home, these dogs will gradually learn to trust and eventually become your most loyal companions.

If you are considering adoption, visit our centre. The love you are looking for might begin with a single chance.

Every dog in our care undergoes a systematic medical process, including sterilization, health checks, and all necessary vaccinations. We ensure every dog is fully ready to start their new life with you.

Please note that we are a veterinary facility, not a permanent shelter. Our mission focuses on the treatment, rehabilitation, and preparation of dogs for adoption during their time at our clinic only.

If a dog is not adopted within a reasonable timeframe, we must return them to their original territory under the care of their local community. This policy allows us to free up vital space for other dogs in urgent need of life-saving medical care.

Our process includes an interview and an adoption contract. In some cases, we may request a home visit to evaluate the environment and get to know the prospective family.

Adoptions are free of charge. However, if you wish to support medical care costs or donate to our mission, we are deeply grateful for your generosity.

Please contact us during business hours to schedule a visit to meet the dogs, or you can find further guidance on our FAQ page

Things to Consider Before Adopting a Dog.

Adopting a dog is a major life decision that comes with great responsibility. To ensure a happy transition for both you and your companion, WVS Thailand recommends considering the following:

  • Living Space: Evaluate if your home and space are suitable for the size of the dog. A secure fence is essential for safety and community well-being.
  • Long-term Expenses: While there is no adoption fee, owning a dog involves lifelong costs such as food, supplies, and medical care. Being financially prepared is vital.
  • Lifestyle and Time: Dogs require daily attention, exercise, training, and care. Choose a dog whose personality aligns with your daily routine.
  • Understanding Behavior: Many rescue dogs have difficult pasts. Patience and consistent time spent together are key to helping them adjust to their new home.
  • Family Members: Every household member should be involved in the decision and have the opportunity to meet the dog to ensure a harmonious match.
  • Ownership Experience: If you are a first-time owner, we recommend starting with a calm, adult dog, which often makes the transition smoother than raising a puppy.
  • Future Planning: Consider potential life changes, such as moving or changing jobs. For expats, please have a plan for your dog to ensure they are never abandoned again.
