A ray of sunshine
Hi! I’m Porka, a cautious and shy (with strangers) yet playful (with people I know) girl looking for a home.
I came to Soi Dog to be spayed; however, the vets noticed that my left front leg was swollen, so they admitted me for treatment. The cause of the swelling was an old fracture that I must have been limping around with for a long time.
Despite the vets’ best efforts, my leg couldn’t be saved and had to be amputated. Fortunately, I've adapted really well to life on three legs. I have no problem walking or jumping with excitement when I see someone I know.
As a naturally bashful girl, I don't really walk with people I don't know like most of the other dogs here do. Instead, I freeze and become like a statue. However, I’ll still let people touch me and give me some strokes and fuss.
I’m looking for a patient adopter who can give me all the time I need to feel safe and comfortable in my new home. Could that be you? If you give me a chance, in time you’ll see a completely different side to me, the side that people describe as “like a ray of sunshine!”
THE ADOPTION PROCESS
Adopting from Soi Dog Foundation is one of the most effective ways to support our work, as each adoption creates the space we need to help another animal in need. It is also incredibly rewarding to give an animal the chance to experience the love and security they so desperately deserve.
