Hello-
An excellent loving home is available for one dog who needs a home. The dog will live on the outskirts of Buriram with me and one other (female) dog.
Here's what we're looking for:
1) I'm afraid the dog must be young, no more than about 8 months old. The established dog needs to be alpha, so the new dog has to be a young dog who will be beta.
2) The ideal dog would be a common type Thai dog, preferably golden or brownish or reddish. If the dog has a common dark snout, all the better. I'm not very keen on purebred dogs, unless maybe it is a Thai baangkaew. I would rather give a home to someone who needs it (there are so many) than encourage a breeder who charges a fee and then produces more dogs.
3) A female might be best, but a male is fine, too, IF he is easygoing, not aggressive, and not confrontational. He will need to be the beta dog.
4) I need to feel connectivity with the dog. I am happy to come see any dog, but please understand that I cannot promise that he/she will be the one.
Thank you for any information.

How about this one? He just loves to smile for the camera. But I'm not sure about being beta.

Hi Ban-
Anything's possible. I would be glad to meet your puppy, if it's convenient for you. Only if I'm not going to cause a problem between you guys. Again, I really can't promise that this puppy's the one, but I'd be happy to meet her. I'll PM you my phone number, but if your wife doesn't want to hear anything of the sort, I completely understand. No problem.
Thank you.

To Ban and All-
As fate would have it, I think my new dog may have just found me this morning. I've never seen him around here before, but he walked right up to the small apartment building. Vitally important, my existing dog did not chase him off or bite him to defend her territory.
He has been in trouble for a long time from the look of him, and he is in quite bad shape. He's a puppy, I'm guessing maybe around 6 months old. White, but half his fur is missing from malnutrition and pests. So half of him is bare skin. He has a big gash on his head between the eyes from some fight (or being hit- TIT), but it looks like it has been trying to heal for a while. He's got various bites and other wounds around his body, but nothing big or deep enough to be life-threatening now.
Most importantly, even though he looks more than a little goulish and pathetic, there is still some puppiness in him. He is behaving gently, still moves reasonably nimbly, still manages to wag his tail, and he comes when a stranger (me) calls him nicely. So while he's probably on the brink of losing it, he hasn't quite lost it yet.
And I think it might work. If he can continue to get along with my existing dog, then it's just a matter of getting lots of good food into him, getting him some ivermectin shots and Frontline for pests, and letting him heal physically and emotionally. From what I've read, the fur loss can be mostly or completely reversed as long as he gets proper nutrition and pest control, His eyes are a bit dull, but I think my eyes would be dull in that situation, too. His mobility is good and he seems to be holding fast to hope. So I will cross my fingers, try to keep the two dogs from fighting, and hope that it works out.
In any case, if I haven't gotten you in trouble with the missus already, let me see how things work out with this puppy first. He really needs a lot of help right away. I'll let you know what happens.
Thank you again, and best regards.

Sounds like the best thing to do with this flee invested dog is to give it a size 9 up it's backside and send it packing.

Wow, what a witty remark. Ok, we'll remember that next time you're reborn into his situation.

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas
Hi Folks-
Things are going well and he's feeling much better. Here he was on arrival:
(http://s18.postimg.org/d5crg036x/Arrival_Med.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Here he is just a couple days ago, less than two months later.
(http://s12.postimg.org/fnyrvs2nh/After_Med.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
He has a ways to go yet, and he may have internal issues that I'm not aware of, but so far, so good.
Merry Christmas, All!

Good job Mitch.
-
:) excellent this is so good to see keep it up and im sure with a real dog food diet he/ she will only get healthier
(would you like a puppy lol)

Thanks Urleft and Ban. What happened was after going to the vet the first day, this fellow left and disappeared. I thought he had had a fatal reaction to the heartworm shot, which can happen if the dog already has heartworm before the shot is given. So after five days, I was hooked up with a new puppy via a friend's tip. Then the next day, this guy comes home to stay, like a ghost from the grave. So now I have three! Which is okay. Three is a lot of time and money, but I can do it. But three is my limit. I know with four I will go bonkers. Sorry that the timing is off.

Taken yesterday. He's a happy camper now. A very sweet and playful fellow. Sorry for the poor phone photo quality. He folded his right front leg under. There's nothing wrong with the leg.

Woooo, super. I am a dog lover.
Three quotes I love:
"All dogs go to heaven"
"we don't deserve them" (We humans, them dogs)
and by the great Will Rogers:

Good quotes, Urleft!
Bellingham, like his two pack mates at home, loves to ride the motorcycle. If we cross paths with anyone from the forum around town, please say hello. All three have biggish, eye-catching pink ID tags, partly to guard against someone getting lost, and partly for increased visibility near the occasional car.

Good to see another rescued dog doing well ,i have helped so many dogs here now im losing count but the satisfaction you get when they look at you with those big eyes

Mitch I don't access Buriram Expats very often so I have only just read this thread.
It was so good to see the photos and the improvement he has made under your care.
How is he now?

Mitch.
Sorry please ignore my post for some reason I thought your before and after pictures were the end of the thread.
I have just seen the rest

Hi Colin and Everyone-
Bellingham is doing great, thanks. He always walked with some lameness in his hind legs, and when the vet did some x-rays, he found that the hip bones had been pretty badly messed up in some sort of vehicle accident a while before Bellingham and I met. The accident was too long ago for surgery to help, but the doctor recommended a green-lipped mussel extract from New Zealand to reduce inflammation and pain. It was a bit pricey initially, but I was able to order some at a lower price from the States.
Bellingham's taking the green-lipped mussel extract every day now, and it's been pretty miraculous really. He always walked with a little or a lot of pain, depending on the moment, but with the mussel extract he can now outrun my motorcycle on a dirt road. He runs, jumps, and wrestles with the two other furry ones at home and is just smiling a great deal at his restored mobility and freedom from the nonstop pain.
He also had surgery last month to remove his undescended testicle. Only one of his engines had dropped into place as it normally should. The other one was still inside his belly, and it's very dangerous to leave it like that, because it increases a dog's risk of cancer by about 10 times the normal rate. So the surgery removed the abnormal one, but we left the normal one intact, because I had a very bad experience neutering another male dog in the past. Females do not seem to have much trouble from being spayed, but with males it can really turn their health and well-being upside down and irreversibly. But Bellingham's doing fine now "flying on one engine". :- )
Cheers, All.
