Can you help me find a home in the UK?
Hi! I’m Stefania, but my current family here in Greater London, UK, call me Sunny.
I haven’t always lived in the UK. In fact, I was born many thousands of miles away on the island of Phuket in Thailand. I lived on the streets there for the first five months of my life – not a long time but long enough for me to become very sick with a severe case of mange. Fortunately, someone called Soi Dog for help, and I was brought to their shelter for the treatment I needed. You can see from my photos above what an amazing recovery I made.
After almost three years at the shelter, I flew to the UK to join a family who was kind enough to adopt me, but unfortunately their circumstances have since changed, so I’m looking for a new home.
A bit about me… Well, the people closest to me say I’m a fun friend, a loyal companion, a lover of walks and much more. When it comes to strangers, though, I am wary and can be picky about who I do and don’t like on first meeting. There have been occasions where I’ve behaved reactively to new people and other dogs. I'm not proud of that, but I hope you understand why a girl like me might appreciate her space.
With this in mind, I’m looking for experienced owners – with no children or other pets – who can provide the long-term commitment I need to show my best self. The beauty of me being in the UK already means I’m available for meet-and-greets so we can see if we’re a good match!
After everything I’ve been through, I would really appreciate a place where I can settle down, so if you’re in the UK and looking for a friend, please consider me. I have so much love to give to those who take the time to understand me.
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.
Initial enquiry
Submit an adoption enquiry, answering some initial questions about your family, lifestyle and ideal companion.
Interview
Join a video call with one of our adoption coordinators to help find your perfect match. Discuss the dog’s medical history, behavioural needs and more.
Home Assessment
Complete a home visit – either in person or virtually – with one of our staff or volunteers to ensure you have everything in place to welcome a rescue dog.
Adoption agreement
Sign the adoption agreement, confirming your commitment to the care of your chosen dog.
Travel arrangements
Let our logistics team arrange your dog’s journey to you. Collect your new best friend from a pre-arranged location and enjoy a lifetime of happiness together!
