Our Lucky Animals who found their Forever Homes

 

Below are just a few of the lucky ones who have been rehomed by Lanta Animal Welfare!

Last year a total of about 100 of the rescued animals at LAW found homes both locally and internationally.

 

Rosie- Adopted to Sweden 

April 2016

Rosie and her family of siblings came to the centre with her very feral mum in April 2015. The pups were all lucky to have found homes almost immediately but Rosie and her sister had to wait a bit longer before the right family came along and they did. In fact it didn’t take very long for them to fall in love with her after they met her.

She went to Sweden to her new family and an older brother as well.

She now goes walks by lakes and hiking too.

DENG- Adopted Locally

April 2016

Deng turned up at Time For Lime Bar/B&B (LAW’s only sponsor) , skinny and in shambles a few years ago and decided he was just going to stay there. He lived with his best bud Dam and later moved to the LAW centre to see if an unsuspecting human would catch his eye and he could adopt them or himself. And he did!

He found a great home locally on the island with a lovely family. He has plenty of room to run around and a goat he now calls his brother ;D

Konee Adopted-Now in UK!
Konee came to LAW after she met with an accident that cost her, a hind leg. She  had an owner who never came back for her s she ended up joining our feline gang at the LAW centre.

But it was all a good thing because Jack and Katherine who visited LAW soon found her hopping around the center and fell in love with her so much that they wanted to take her home.

They returned to get her when she was ready to fly and took her to join her new family of 3 other rescue felines.

Konee has always been brave and a fighter and she made it safe to the UK with her new parents who will never abandon her and will give her a lifetime of love and security.

Lily Adopted-Now in Sweden!
Lily and her 7 siblings were brought to the centre when their mum was found under a house with the new born puppies in an area where they were in danger. Almost the whole family found homes when they were young but Lily and Rosie remained at the centre until Sebastian and his family came across Lily on their holiday. It was almost love at first sight when they decided almost instantly to adopt Lily.

She flew to Sweden in March 2016 and loves her new family especially her human sister and brother.

DAM Adopted-Now in Finland!
Dam came to Time for Lime as an abandoned dog and decided not to leave and lived there with his best buddy Deng.

But he found his forever family when he came to live at LAW when Sonja and Eetu found him. They were smitten by Dam’s cool and intelligent personality.

Dam’s was always a smart boy taking bike rides, swimming and now learning Finnish now we hear.

 

Brownie Adopted-Now in Finland!
Brownie ‘s story as well as her adoption is one amazing tale.

She was an unwanted girl who got unlucky with wherever she went and from what we knew she was being passed around from place to place and long story short she met with an accident and came to the centre with an injured hip. She recovered fully but we kept her fearing for her accident prone life.Almost a year later Riita and Ese turned up at the centre looking for Brownie. The previous year when they were on Lanta they had been looking after Brownie until she went missing. It seems this was when Brownie met with her accident and was brought to LAW. Ese and Riitta returned to look for her AND to take her home. So our lovely Brownie went to Finland to the parents who she truly belongs to and is her best self going for walks proudly telling everyone in Finland how she is the luckiest girl in the world.

ROLO Adopted-Now in UK!
Rolo was last of the Muffin pups to get adopted waited almost year to find her forever family. It was meant to be as Rolo’s adopter Kate saw pictures of her a year ago and fell in love with her. When Kate finally visited LAW and met Rolo she knew she was going to have her and join her family of rescued animals back home.

Lucky Rolo who has now discovered TV and many many new friends through her Dad’s Creche, flew to the UK March 2016.

Ollie Adopted-Now in Sweden!
Ollie and his siblings were dumped in the nearby rubber plantation inside a bag when they were tiny pups. They were all such darlings being very sweet natured and affectionate. While Millie, Chester and Kobe were adopted almost immediately, Ollie had to wait a while before he got lucky.

Cecilia and Paul in October 2015 met Ollie and decided he was the one for them. Here he is now in Sweden as always smiling and loving life and celebrating his first White Christmas.

Muffin and Cookie Adopted-Now in UK!
Muffin came to LAW, emaciated  and ill with blood parasites on top of being pregnant with 5 pups who were later born at the centre: Buttons, Twix, Freddo ad Wispa and Rolo. She was one affectionate dog and stole the heart of Eve who volunteered with us.

Cookie was a neglected Shi-tzu who had many issues with her sensitive skin and kept returning too frequently for treatment. The owners gave her up and life only got better for Cookie afterwards because she is now in the UK living a pampered life as any dog should.

Both Cookie and Muffin flew to the UK in December 2015 with one of one of our volunteers who was their FV.

Owen in his winter gear

Owen Adopted-Now in Canada!
Owen has been at LAW forever! He also lived through many health problems but still managed to come back strong and cuter! It was a surprise when a young lady from Canada offered Owen a forever home. Normally people go for the young pups or young adults but we knew this was a special and a true connection between Owen and Jess who adopted him. It was a long flight home for Owen but he still has a few lives left so made it safe and sound and has a deep bond with his new owner. He has been spoilt rotten we hear as soon as he got there so Owen is starting over his life and we wish him years of joy and love ahead.
Jess Adopted-Now in Canada!

Mami-Adopted to Germany!
Mami was a malnourished lonely kitten that was found by Elise and her boyfriend at a resort they were staying during their holiday here in Koh Lanta. Mami was brought to LAW but by then he had already stolen Elise’s heart so it didn’t take her long to decide to adopt Mami.

Mami stayed at LAW running around free with other cats until he was ready to  fly to Germany.

He was finally reunited with Elise in August 2015 and Elise was thrilled to see he was still the same cat she fell in love with last December.

Jasmine flew to Alix in July 2015 in the UK. Jas was one of those cats that just appeared out of nowhere at LAW and found by our staff one morning.
