Hearts and Hounds Programme

Linking Thailand with Canada & USA in a heartwarming endeavour to find homes for deserving dogs.

Are you travelling from Bangkok to Washington DC, Calgary or Vancouver?
If so, please consider helping in the rescue and rehoming of a needy animal.

Many dogs in Bangkok suffer serious injury or lose a limb through traffic accidents. Others suffer from disease, infection, trauma and malnutrition that affects them physically and may leave them with a permanent disability or requiring medication for life. They endure unimaginable pain and suffering, yet their forgiving natures mean they are always ready with a wagging tail at every kind word or caress. Sadly, their friendly temperaments alone aren't always enough to find them homes in Thailand where little value is placed on rescued 'strays' as pets.
 
The Hearts & Hounds programme gives all these wonderful dogs the opportunity they deserve: the chance of finding their forever homes in Canada and USA, with families that will welcome and love them.

How you can help

The dog's journey begins with finding a traveler (escort) flying from Bangkok on dog-friendly routes* to: 
1) Washington DC, USA
2) Calgary or Vancouver, Canada
 
SCAD organises all the paperwork, makes all payments, and meets the traveler at the check-in desk on the day of departure.  The lucky dog travels as excess baggage, no stress or cost to the escort.  The only effort required is to collect the crated dog from the baggage hall on arrival at destination, and meet the Hearts & Hounds Representative in the arrivals hall to hand over the precious cargo. Previous escorts have found this an easy and rewarding experience and they are willing to give references!

Dog friendly routes generally means:

1) Not via Hong Kong where special transit permits are needed
2) No lengthy stopovers, but in-transit stops are OK
