Recently, a few Lanta Animal Welfare staff members, volunteers and dedicated dog walkers from jumped into a truck with a group of rescue dogs for a little Sunday FUNday.

Sunday FUNday started five years ago when a long-time volunteer asked our founder Junie what she would like to do on her one day off. Not surprisingly, it had to do with the rescue animals. Junie said it would be lovely to see them run freely.

They loaded the dogs and picnic baskets onto a truck and off they went to Lanta Noi, the smaller of the two islands. There are remote beaches and very few tourists, so it’s the perfect setting for the rescue dogs to run around and release their energy, and for many, swim in the ocean for the first time.

This latest Sunday FUNday involved Penny’s pack: Penny, Ariel, Annie, Lucas and Poppy. The fearless five loved the water and made a huge splash—they dove right in, swam and jumped around. Ariel became a bit hyper and got a head bop from Annie.

Check out the video to see all the fun that was had. Become a volunteer and you could be a part of Sunday FUNday someday!
