Hi, I’m Tha Chang
Hello, my name is Tha Chang, and I’ve had a tough life on the streets. I was all alone, scared, and in constant pain.
A kind woman used to bring me food when she could, but I was too afraid to let anyone near me. I didn’t trust people – not after everything I’d been through.
But one day, everything changed. With the help of the Jai Dog Rescue team, I was gently captured and brought to the safety of their hospital for treatment.
I was so sick and skinny, covered in itchy, painful mange. I didn’t know it then, but that was the beginning of my second chance.
Tha Chang’s Story
When a kind local saw Tha Chang’s condition worsening, she knew she couldn’t turn a blind eye.
Emaciated, scared, and suffering from a painful skin disease, Tha Chang was slowly wasting away on the streets. His fearful, reactive behaviour made rescuing him alone impossible – but with the help of our experienced team, we were able to intervene just in time.
Thanks to careful planning, we safely captured him and he received urgent medical care at our on-site clinic.
His Condition
Tha Chang arrived severely underweight, suffering from mange – a highly uncomfortable and contagious skin disease caused by microscopic mites. His immune system was also under siege from a cocktail of parasites.
We were initially unsure how he’d respond to treatment but jumped straight into treating him, giving him medicated baths for his skin.
Then something magical happened: a few homemade meals, packed with rice, special dog food, and much-needed vitamins, helped soften his heart. At first wary, but the fight in his eyes told us he wanted to live.
Why He Needs You
Tha Chang has made an incredible physical recovery – his fur has grown back, he’s at a healthy weight, and his days of painful mange are behind him. But as an older boy with a lifetime of hardship behind him, he’s become a bit of a grumpy old man! While he’s no longer sick, he still needs regular vet check-ups and careful monitoring to keep him comfortable and well.
Because of his age and temperament, Tha Chang isn’t a candidate for adoption – but that’s okay. He’s found safety, routine, and dignity here at the Farm, and we’re committed to giving him the peaceful retirement he deserves.
