This lovely chap has had a tough start to life & despite it all, he is absolutely marvelous.

Bert was abandoned as a puppy with his brother Ernie.
Ernie had been hit by a car but his big brother Bert stayed by his side & protected him even though he was only small himself.

Tall, dark & very handsome, extremely friendly with people & other dogs alike & we would love to see him in a loving home!

He can live in a home with older children & although not essential he can live alongside another dog.

This long legged lad has a big personality & playful nature. He loves his walkies & cuddles in equal measure & just wants to serve his life purpose as a best buddy to a lucky family.

Meet Frida: A Survivor with a Heart Full of Love 🐾💛

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and Frida’s story shows the power of resilience and love.

With the help of @dogstrust, we found her during a mobile clinic wandering the streets with painful tumors caused by TVT (transmissible venereal tumors). She was weak, sick, and running out of time. Without rescue, she wouldn’t have survived.

But with treatment, care, and lots of love, Frida has made a full recovery! Now, her tail never stops wagging, and her big smile melts every heart she meets. Despite everything she’s been through, Frida is still one of the friendliest dogs at Lanta Animal Welfare. She loves walks, cuddles, and of course—treats! 🥰

Frida’s biggest dream now? A forever family. She’s ready to give someone all the love she has 🐶❤️

Frida’s journey reminds us that pet cancer isn’t the end of the road—with care and compassion, recovery is possible.

Could you be the one to give Frida the happy home she deserves? Reach out today to learn more about adopting her! Follow the link in our bio or contact Jack at adoption@lantaanimalwelfare.com 🏡❤️🐕

🥰 Are you ready for love? 🥰

Meet Walter, a three-year old power-pup that’s ready to roll into your heart! Walter might get around on a set of wheels, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He’s a calm, gentle soul who loves people and dogs alike—and he’s always ready to make new friends!

Walter was found at a nearby temple and brought back to Lanta Animal Welfare. After running some tests it was determined that Walter had suffered an injury to his spine, and it is unlikely that he will regain the use of his hind legs.

While he’s always smiling and incredibly friendly, Walter does need an experienced family who understands his special needs and can provide him with the support he deserves. If you have experience with special needs dogs and are ready to give a deserving dog the love-filled life he dreams of, please reach out!

💖 Looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion? Meet Tron! 💖

Tron is a one-year-old, one-eyed wonder who's ready to zoom into your heart! This medium-sized pup is full of life and energy, with a love for splashing in water and racing around during his famous zoomies.🐾💦

With the support of @four_paws_international we found Tron at a local temple. He arrived at Lanta Animal Welfare dehydrated and with a severely swollen eyeball. Unfortunately, his eye was too damaged and had to be removed.

However, despite having only one eye, Tron sees the world with pure joy and enthusiasm! He's looking for a loving home that will embrace his playful spirit and shower him with affection. If you're looking for a furry friend who’ll keep you smiling, Tron might be the perfect match!

You can easily provide Lux with the care he needs.

Follow the link in our bio to sponsor Lux and learn how your gift provides life-saving care for him and all the animals at Lanta Animal Welfare.

Lux arrived at Lanta Animal Welfare six months ago in terrible shape. He had a severe case of mange and painful sores from constant scratching. To make matters worse, he had a large, maggot-infested wound on his head.

Today, Lux is a different dog! His wound has healed, and much of his fur has grown back, though his coat may never fully recover. Unfortunately, due to his age and patchy fur, Lux has been overlooked for adoption. However, despite everything he's been through his heart (and eyes!) are still full of love.

Lux needs your sponsorship to help pay for his medication and treatments. You’ll be doing something incredibly special for this sweet dog. In return, Lux will keep you updated every few months on how he’s doing.

Will you be the one that helps Lux get the care that he needs? Your kindness can make all the difference in his life, and in the lives of our other rescue animals.

🌟 Meet the Dream Trio: Lux, Primrose, and Fig!

🌟 Meet the Dream Trio: Lux, Primrose, and Fig! 🐾 🌟

We’re excited to share some heartwarming news about three of our very special dogs: Lux, Primrose, and Fig.

🐕 Lux – An older gentleman with the sweetest soul, came to us in April. Despite his age, he’s always got a calm, wise energy that brings peace to those around him.

🌸 Primrose – Recently widowed, Primrose has been searching for new companionship and a reason to smile again. Her gentle spirit and open heart were ready for friends, and we’re so happy she found them!

🐾 Fig – Fig has had a tough time making dog friends. Though she adores people and is always ready to shower them with love, fitting in with other dogs hasn’t been easy… until now.

✨ These three have officially become friends and now happily share an area! Watching them bond has been incredible—Lux’s calmness, Primrose’s warm heart, and Fig’s newfound social ease are creating a beautiful dynamic. 🐕💞

We’re so proud of their progress and grateful to see them thrive together. It’s proof that sometimes, the most unlikely connections become the strongest friendships.

If you'd like to help support this trio or other animals in our care, share their story and spread the word! 🐶💛
