GREAT NEWS…. Noina is HOME!! Noina is a DMT survivor from Thailand who has lived at Elfe’s World on the Island Koh Samui for the last 3 years – an outdoor sanctuary which houses over 600 dogs.

Today she joined Rachel Skarsten and Murad of Milwaukee, WI. Rachel and Murad knew immediately when they met Noina that she was the dog for them. Noina won them over right away with her charming ways. She took to them immediately and vice versa. She chose them and wanted to make sure they took her home. It was an easy deal to seal. Within minutes Murad was face timing friends and family excitedly sharing the news of their new family member. They came equipped with a new collar and leash picked out specially for Noina. Ahhh this is the stuff dreams are made of.

Thank you to Elfe for providing such loving care to Meila over the past 3 years. Thank you to Madison and Fletcher for being her travel buddies and ensuring safe travel to Chicago. Thank you to Christine Sudmann for fostering her in Bangkok and taking care of their flight logistics. Thank you to Bernadette Stellmacher for sponsoring her vet and food costs the last 3 years. Thank you to Rebecca, Gery and Lindette for helping with Ohare pick up and welcoming her to the US. As always without the help of many none of this would be possible.
Most importantly thank you to Israel and Jana for opening their hearts and home to Meila.
You too can save a life …. www.istreetdog.com.

Pre-Adoption Post 

I am Noina.

I’m a total lovebug who was luckily rescued from the horrific dog meat trade nearly 5 years ago, when I was just a baby. 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 5 year old spayed female who resembles a mashup of a border collie, a spaniel, and a pointer – though I seem to lack a single hunting bone in my body! Also, don’t be fooled by my photos – I am petite, weighing in at just 28 pounds.

I love nothing more than to cuddle and solicit pats from kind people who visit our dog sanctuary in Thailand. I am absolutely starved for human attention as I have languished here at Elfesworld for almost 5 years since my rescue – and approximately 700 dogs, all clamoring for love, also live here alongside me.

I will arrive in Chicago, USA August 15, 2017. I DREAM of a family to call my own. I would love to be in the center of a shining spotlight in your home! I have soooo much love to give you in return, and am so grateful you are taking the time to consider adopting me, at long last. I have waited so patiently…might you be mine?

I will be arriving into the USA on August 15, 2017. Please read my full story HERE. Thank you!
