GREAT NEWS! Fenya a survivor from the dog meat trade in Thailand has finally found a real home and a real family. Kevin Christensen and Brittany Mertens of Cudahy, WI have fallen in love with this beauty.  Such a compassionate young couple who care so deeply about her and are thrilled to give this special girl a new life filled with all the joy and love she deserves.

Thank you to Elfe for giving such loving care to Fenja for the past 3 years at her sanctuary on the island Koh Samui – “Elfesworld“.

Thank you to Marjon Tondravi for sponsoring her airfare.  You can also help support future dog meat trade survivors’ airfare by shopping at Give a Dog a Bone.  Marjon and her team lovingly hand make all of their dog accessories with the highest quality and donate 100% of the profits to help the dog meat trade survivors from Thailand.

Pre-Adoption Post

I am Fenja.

I’m an outgoing gal with personality plus and affection to spare for the humans lucky enough to claim me! I was thankfully rescued from the horrific dog meat trade. I narrowly escaped death – twice actually. First, from the dog meat traders, and second, from the perils of the government livestock center where I was brought after my rescue. Fate now has greater things in store for me, I hope…

I am a 4 year old spayed female who somewhat resembles a miniature German shepherd, as I weigh in at just 26 pounds (12 kg).

I love nothing more than to give kisses to kind people who visit our dog sanctuary in Thailand. I am starved for human attention as I have languished here at Elfesworld for 3 years since my rescue – and approximately 700 dogs, all clamoring for love, also live here alongside me.

I will arrive in Chicago, USA on February 22, 2017 with my old friend Enya, also rescued from the meat trade, who – like me – dreams of a family to call her own. I would love to be in the center of a shining spotlight in your home! I have so much love to give you in return.
