  Paporn just drove along the busy street of Prachachuean in Nonthaburi having her mind still on the job when she recognized a little something on the sidewalk. Since the traffic was slow moving she managed to park her car and approached the little furry thing and what she saw right in front of her was a little girl dog.

Since this little thing was so cute she decided to call her Kanom, the Thai word for sweets. So Kanom was standing there and she could only be three or four month old. Some people at the bus stop said that Kanom was there since about a week and probably was dumped.

Kanom had bite wounds and was obviously dehydrated and very hungry. She somehow managed to get herself through the last days hiding under a small bush close to the bus stop. The ticks and fleas were her smallest problems and she completely was lost over there. Since no one really cared for her she had no other choice but to stay and wait for her fate to unwind.

But today was her lucky day and Paporn took little Kanom, put her in the car and brought her to a vet where she was thoroughly examined, cleaned up and administered the necessary medicine to bring her back to her feet.

Paporn used the time at the clinic and talked to some of the people who waited there for their appointments. And since this was Kanom's lucky day there also was a nice lady who agreed to adopt Kanom once her emergency treatment was over and Kanom would be ready to go to her new home.

Today Kanom joined her new family and will now have a home with other dogs to play with. She will now live with Pa Phanida in Nawamin Road and we all hope that she will enjoy her days over there. She is still very young and will hopefully adopt well to the change and we are sure that her new dog friends will help her to forget the terrible ordeal at the bus stop.

So, Kanom was lost, found and adopted. We really hope that Kanom will do fine and just to make sure we asked Pa Phanida to bring her back to Khlongdogs if it somehow doesn't work out well. But as of today there is one less dog in despair and off the roads of Bangkok.

For us it is one dog at a time but the current economic situation makes us believe that there will be many more dogs and cats who will be dumped on the streets of Bangkok. Unfortunately it is the weakest who suffer the most from this situation and it is our aim to help as many as we can. Please consider your ability to help, look around your home and you may find a nice place for one of these poor souls.

Please help to find a home for the rest of the unfortunate street animals in Bangkok.
