Background:
In 2006, Mama Dog gladly walked into a cage for food during an ongoing project round-up at a temple near our former Health Center on the rural outskirts of Bangkok. Initially thought to be ‘gift wrapped’ for sterilisation and vaccination, she was found to be heavily pregnant. Mama Dog was extremely thin and nervous, only allowing one SCAD volunteer to pet her. A few days after admission, she delivered two stillborn and five live puppies, all of which died within 24 hours. She remained nervous, but was given space to rest and recuperate. Six weeks later, she was sterilized. Her road to recovery was slow and although she is now fit and strong, she remains very nervous of strangers.
Features:
Mama Dog has a short, dense, brown-wolf type coat which is quite dark on the top of her muzzle, but cream-colored around her lips, chin and chest. She is a compact, medium-sized dog with small, floppy ears and pale tan-colored legs. She carries her tail erect. Low level grooming is required.
Character:
Mama Dog is categorized as a special needs dog due to her very nervous disposition and her bite history. To our knowledge, she has twice bitten people – both instances occurred when she was in a secluded position and she was startled from her sleep by strangers. Potential adopters need to allow Mama Dog to come around in her own time. We hope someone can offer her a home as an outdoor dog where she will find physical and psychological space to gain confidence and trust. She enjoys the company of other quiet-natured dogs, but will remove herself from areas where there are more playful, boisterous types. She is a devoted and trusting companion once she gets to know you, and is best suited to an adult home. Mama Dog is low maintenance all round and apart from minor ailments she has always enjoyed good health.
