Street Dogs From Thailand Seek Fresh Start In Studio City

STUDIO CITY, CA — Seven stray dogs who were taken off the streets in Thailand have now arrived at the Wagmor, a "5-star luxury" pet hotel in Studio City. The pets were rescued through a partnership with Soi Dog USA, a registered non-profit working to save and protect animals around the world.

The dogs have endured plenty of trauma before being rescued, such as Hunsar who was found abandoned on Phuket Island with an open wound due to an overly tight wire and rope collar. Two others, Maengern and Maepetch (who are sisters), are blind, but have found confidence exploring their surroundings by relying on their sense of smell and hearing.

Now that they've received loving care from trained veterinarians and animal lovers, all seven are looking to turn a new leaf after making the 8000+ mile trip from Thailand to Los Angeles.

"It was such a long 2 days in flight for them, but they all did super well and we’re excited to share more about them in the coming weeks!" Wagmor said. "Some were nervous like Zuto to come out of their crates, but others were just ready to come out and play."

People interested in adopting any of the seven dogs can visit Wagmorepets.org/adoption to learn more about the four-legged companions. All dogs adopted from the pet hotel include flea and tick treatments, all shots, and spay/neuter treatment along with a microchip.

Applicants looking to bring in the Thailand rescues will need a fully secured outdoor space, along with additional experience in dog training.

"These dogs have come from the streets of Thailand and will most likely be little escape artists if you’re not careful," Wagmor said. "But with love and patience will be come a fantastic forever friend."
