You know I wish one of the worlds billionaire took to it to finance a worldwide neutering and spaying programme. How amazing would that be? It would end so much suffering.

babieca-seattle.bsky.social•95 days ago

I am more and more convinced that billionaires are either criminals, sociopaths, or a waste of space. They deserve neither praise nor admiration.

ericlackner.bsky.social•95 days ago

Billionaires are generally all three.

alannag.bsky.social•95 days ago

Not a global program but Vantara is an animal refuge funded by a billionaire. It's private but the animals there have better healthcare than most humans

Sir, you are doing Dog's work! Thank you!!

mrs-g31.bsky.social•95 days ago

Such stunning dogs who are leaving in magnificent condition & health. Aww Pan she was so attached & lovely with them. Safe journey Bowie & Prince to cooler happy new homes. We'll miss you both 😢💙🩷

msbak.bsky.social•95 days ago

Bless you.💗

kirbydog.bsky.social•95 days ago

Who could just abandonment these dogs🤬?? Don't want them? Fine. Take them to a shelter like Happy Doggo. Sometimes, I hate people

kara1900s.bsky.social•94 days ago

We got a rescue, and someone left her on the side of the road after they were done with her for breeding. We live in the Southwest, but the AC is on always, and she loves winter. I always tell people to adopt rescues. they're truly a gift.

kcyatsko.bsky.social•94 days ago

She is stunning! Thank you for rescuing her!🎖️💕🎉

kara1900s.bsky.social•92 days ago

She rescued us. Just wish she didn't like to do zoomies in the middle of the night, and tell me moo, which is rude, when I tell her to wait till morning lol

kcyatsko.bsky.social•92 days ago

seanmc1220.bsky.social•95 days ago

You can always expect a happy Ending in Thailand!!! Sorry I had to! Great story though

hajabroki.bsky.social•95 days ago

Great news for them both and a fairytale start to their new lives.

fire-walk-with.me•95 days ago

Thank you so much for helping them and having them spayed and neutered. They look so big and healthy now!

michelleriddle.bsky.social•95 days ago

freyja3.bsky.social•95 days ago

Prince eating rocks was so sad and who could forget the big surprise Bowie gave you .I am so happy they are going to cooler climates and @niallharbison.bsky.social would it be possible to see how the pups turned out please 🙏

cdrak0715.bsky.social•95 days ago

They are beautiful. So happy for them and Bowie's puppies.

Another beautiful ending to your story ❤️ 🐕🐕🏡🏡

icarusthedog.bsky.social•95 days ago

So happy to see you on Bluesky as missed your posts on that other place when I like so many others could not justify staying on their any longer.

vrajaprana.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for all that you and your team have done to give Bowie, Prince and all the pups loving, forever homes.

sallybuttonwood.bsky.social•95 days ago

Ahhh, if only they could stay together. I know that they’ll be very happy but… & I’m sad too for all of you who have put your hearts/hands into rescuing them,+the pups, then seeing them go.

But really,Yay Niall & co!!!👏👏👏
You are the best to give these beauties forever homes.💙💙💙🐾🐾
Thank you!! ;-)

lpick10.bsky.social•95 days ago

Off to wonderful new lives! Hurray for Prince and Bowie! 💕

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

We caught Bowie first but it took another 2 weeks to catch Prince.

They had because quite scared of humans living in the jungle and the house.

We were about to find out some big secrets about them… (2/10)

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

Because they were fluffy they didn’t look too bad. However things were not good.

We soon discovered that Prince had been eating rocks and sand to fill his belly. (3/10)

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

Even more surprising was 4 weeks after arriving we discovered the big news. Bowie was pregnant.

She was weak but she had the puppies with me one night. Thankfully she wasn’t alone as she needed the help (4/10)

sueishere.bsky.social•94 days ago

😍

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

Her 6 puppies grew up fast. It nearly broke mum as she was so weak coming in but she did amazing.

We were able to re-home the 6 dogs. And no Prince was not the dad! (5/10)

persephone2008.bsky.social•95 days ago

I can’t contain my joy that you guys found these two and then EIGHT doggies and helped and loved them all

I love this so much

@mantahunk.bsky.social

Just a randomly joyous tale of two dogs and ☮️💙

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thailand is obviously the last place these dogs should be living in the heat. We did all we could to cool them down and make them happy.

Both dogs also got super healthy and sterilized. No more puppies!! (6/10)

niallharbison.bsky.social•95 days ago

My dream was to find them both a cooler climate. Not easy to do but here they are about to head off today…

🇩🇪 Bowie will go to a home in Germany

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Prince will become the Prince of Wales as he travels there.

Lovely cold weather awaits ❄️ (7/10)

I was so happy to see you on blue sky, Niall.

kathsc.bsky.social•95 days ago

So bittersweet when these sweet dogs get the lives they deserve but have to leave to do it. I’ll miss them (sympathy crying with Pan right now) but am thrilled for them.

freyja3.bsky.social•95 days ago

Poor Pan looked devastated to see them go .

tundrasusi.bsky.social•95 days ago

Beautiful huskies, it's my favourite breed. Im so happy to hear that also this story has happy ending 😊 all that work you do with all these people is so important!

graceykay.bsky.social•95 days ago

😳😒

tonygojira.bsky.social•95 days ago

Awww, thank you for saving these darlings! Mine was rescued as well, but living her best life with us in frozen Michigan.

samm7013.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah!!!! Huskies do not belong in freaking over heated climate.

bibibouloy.bsky.social•95 days ago

I’m so happy for them, but I will miss seeing them at the land. I’m crying with Pan🥲 You all did a great job with them. It seems like it was just yesterday when Bowie had her beautiful pups. Safe travels 🥰🐾🐶

lexie1179.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thank goodness it ended well.

lexie1179.bsky.social•94 days ago

Damn it.

annboyd.bsky.social•95 days ago

Me two. People are the worst.

kzcomments.bsky.social•95 days ago

People suck all over the world, how nice...

spindrjohn.bsky.social•95 days ago

I spend money to feed stray dogs every day in Yangon. It’s not as hot as Bangkok. I don’t want money but I wish someone would help with desexing.

areyoucertain.bsky.social•95 days ago

Perhaps drop them an email to ask for advice on getting local help?

There are some very effective groups looking after stray dog in Bali. You’ll meet your targets if you count them

ottosmart.bsky.social•95 days ago

Sterilization programs in partnership with Niall Harbison

areyoucertain.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yep. He's given an amazing amount of thought to scaling up that could benefit rescue groups everywhere.

allywils.bsky.social•95 days ago

They will both have their best lives waiting in Wales and Germany 🥶 Love this for them. Thank you, team 🥰

slobberdogs.bsky.social•95 days ago

Awesome rescue

pamelazadiva.bsky.social•95 days ago

OMG Niall you're here! WELCOME! I am a subscriber but I still missed your Twitter posts so much. Thank you for joining us. With so much horrible going on you have made a very frightened woman feel better.

woodsageandseasalt.bsky.social•95 days ago

Another success story Niall. Those beautiful dogs will get to live their best lives thanks to you and your team. They were lucky you found them. Happy tears from Pan.

carbonbasedlady.bsky.social•95 days ago

Aside from abandoning them, who gets Huskies in the tropics?!? 💔💔💔

jana2b.bsky.social•95 days ago

So happy for them. They look amazing, Pan did a wonderful job. ❤️

mama-urs.bsky.social•95 days ago

Wonderful news!

andreala66.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for your wonderful work. Shame they couldn't be together in their new journeys but I presume it's too hard to get people to take them?

liannebest.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for saving these souls!

stella0311.bsky.social•95 days ago

thebeaglesnest.bsky.social•95 days ago

Tears of joy on this update!

sherdogma.bsky.social•95 days ago

Looking forward to pictures of them in their new homes❤️

kenyettawrites.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm glad if you helped them.

ajoyousdisaster.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you so very much for helping them. After all that's happening in the US, and all the stress we're under, this made me so happy I'm crying. (And I'm not a crier.)

carbonet.bsky.social•95 days ago

Bless you for helping them. There are too many unloved Huskies here in Mexico. The one we adopted had spent his first 10 months living on a roof. Now he is a spoiled boy.
