Can you help me find a home in Canada or the USA?
Hi! I’m Bambala, but the people who know me here in Ontario, Canada, call me BamBam.
I haven’t always lived in Canada. In fact, I was born many thousands of miles away on the island of Phuket in Thailand. Soi Dog rescued me as a puppy there after I was reported abandoned at a concrete yard. I spent almost a year at the shelter before flying to Canada where a family was kind enough to adopt me. Unfortunately, circumstances have since changed, so I’m looking for a new home.
A bit about me… My current family describe me as a sweet and gentle boy who loves his people. I can be nervous with strangers, loud noises and sudden movements, but I’ve come a long way with time and patience. When guests arrive, I’ll usually bark at first, but I settle within a few minutes and will come over to sniff them when I’m ready.
I’ve lived happily alongside other dogs and a cat in the past, and I particularly enjoy having canine company. I’m more confident on walks with other dogs, too, although I’m still nervous around traffic and loud noises, so I much prefer walks in quieter areas. At home, I enjoy sunbathing, digging holes and curling up for cuddles on the couch.
I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with a patient family who will let me take things at my own pace. If you’re in Canada or the USA and looking for a friend, please consider me, Bambala.
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.

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.
