UPDATE: 

Ranitar spent weeks in the hospital recovering. He has regained his health and has you to thank for covering his medical expenses. He hopes to find a forever home soon.

Meet Ranitar. 

He has lived a tough life as a street dog in Thailand. Kind people who feed the stray dogs noticed he was injured and contacted Soi Dog Foundation for help. 

He is just over a year old and has endured unimaginable pain and suffering. Each day he would search for scraps of food and often went hungry. Due to the number of stray dogs and lack of food and resources, fights often occur. 

Ranitar arrived at the sanctuary hospital with a severe wound infested with maggots on his neck which appears to be a bite from another dog. 

Soi Dog told us, "Ranitar’s wound was already showing signs of sepsis with mildly necrotic tissue, indicating that the accident had happened days if not weeks ago. He was in severe pain and was severely dehydrated and anemic."

The wound was cleaned, and he was immediately started on medication to reduce the pain. He also received a life-saving blood transfusion and antibiotics. 

Ranitar has a long and expensive road to recovery. Soi Dog reached out to Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund for help. 

The fund was created to give sick and injured animals the second chance they deserve. Countless lives have been saved and with your support we can help Ranitar make a full recovery. 

He will spend weeks in the hospital recovering and needs wound reconstruction surgery due to the severity of the wound. 

Ranitar is friendly with people once he gets to know them but is understandably weary of strangers. His caretakers are sure he will find a loving home once he recovers. 

Will you help him get the care he needs? 

There are tens of thousands of homeless dogs roaming the streets in Thailand. Soi Dog help provide food to these starving dogs through a network of local people who feed hundreds of dogs each day. 

The animal rescue officers receive between 1,200 and 1,600 calls each month and many are about dogs in dire situations who need immediate help, like Ranitar. 

Pets receiving critical care facilitated by an Emergency Animal Medical grant may not be eligible for adoption until they have completed their course of treatment. If you would like to inquire about adoption of a specific animal, we strongly encourage you to visit the shelter’s specific website first as that is often the most up to date place to learn about available pets and review the adoption policies and process.

Help us meet our goal of $4,000 for Ranitar and pets like him. Your gift will not only give him the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover his ongoing care.
