My only non negotiable is that I start my day feeding the 80 street dogs in Thailand.

I've so many bigger things to do for the charity and scaling up but this is the part I'll never give up.

It's one hour of the day but it keeps my heart full and depression at bay!

A vicious dog attack today in the retirement village.

I was cornered in on all sides and pinned down. 😅

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Our little retirement village was getting a little upgrade as the concrete was slippy when wet. All fixed now.

These dogs were all at the end of their life and sick / blind etc.

The happiest little place in the world as far as I’m concerned. Paradise ❤️

Dear Niall.

@NiallHarbison

Thank you for the wonder you bring into the world, one brave little life at a time. With Skye, you’ve once again captured the hearts of millions, showing us the incredible resilience of dogs and the power of compassion. From a storm-battered beginning to those precious first steps, your work, unconditional love, and human compassion turns despair into hope and reminds us all what love and second chances can do.
You’re a true hero to the voiceless, an inspiration to many, and we’re endlessly grateful. Keep shining your light, keep being you..❤️

With much admiration and many heartfelt, sincere thanks…

Harry 👍💜

Every single morning I put a new bandana on him and we go for a big walk.

Look at the chunk on him (3/6)

[Harry 🇬🇧 @Harry20211959]

Oh Dear Lord… bless the pair of them.. 💜

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

He still has a lot of sleeping to do and the walks are still very short.

But the smile is back on Jimbo’s face.

He’s one of the nicest little gentlemen you could ever meet ❤️ (5/5)

Promised her a better life when she invited herself into @happydoggothai after being abandoned in the jungle.

Look at Buttons now.

That smile is priceless ❤️

Last week, we said goodbye to our beautiful Nisha.

She came to us as a rescue, after being found as a stray, and became a deeply loved part of our family, and part of the music too, appearing quietly in so many of the cottage videos.

Thank you to everyone who noticed her, asked about her, and loved her from afar.

The music in the video is called “Nisha”, it's a melody we used to sing it to her at home during Covid lockdown, and I later recorded it on my album Solace.

She was deeply loved. We miss her so much

Myself and Rocky would like to wish you a happy Monday morning. He says he is going to attack the week.

His eyesight and weight getting better by the day. He says he loves being alive now ❤️

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Our senior dogs had a big beach day out.

I promise this will make you smile from ear to ear ❤️

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

I thought I’d seen it all with helping dogs.

Very proud of mum Friday and the team for bringing new life into the world In the most unfortunate circumstances.

Unbelievable scenes (7/7)

I've got enough experience doing this to know that it's probably going to be weeks rather than months for Mr. Atlas. Our wonderful house dog at @wearehappydoggo has had two huge operations and we've given him every chance imaginable.

I've just noticed in the past few days that his energy levels have dropped. He's taken an extra hour in his bed. He's having longer lounges on the couch. His energy has dipped and his eyes are just that little bit cloudy. that has all been confirmed by blood work and lots of different tests.

We are a rescue and ultimately we're judged on how many dogs we can save. I always knew that it would be a quality of life thing with Atlas and that ultimately we would not be able to give him a long life. I do happen to believe, though, that the work we do in making these dogs happy at the end of their lives is just as important as anything else we do at scale.

Atlas is still at that stage where he has great spurts of energy and goes on walks and looks for attention from all his favorite humans. We'll wrap him up in cotton wool, pamper him, shower him in love and get him all the meds he can have. No stone will go unturned to make sure Atlas continues to live his dream life while he can.

I always say that dogs live in the moment. Atlas can't remember his horrid times on the streets or his massive tumor that he carried around for years. All he knows is the love, attention, great food, and wonderful life he will have today. Every other day will be a bonus and we’ll be with him every step of the way ❤️

15 days ago, Rocky came in as close to death as is possible for a dog to be. It has been a battle to get him back into shape but I think you will agree that he is looking fantastic.

People often ask me how you put up with the cruelty when you deal with dogs and it's a very good question. The answer actually comes from dogs themselves. You have to take it one day at a time. What has happened in the past is the past. All we can do, just like dogs, is enjoy the moment and the day that we have.

Today was a gorgeous sunny Sunday and myself and Rocky had smoked salmon. He followed me for a proper walk down Hope Avenue. He had lots of belly rubs and he was as gentle and kind as a dog could be.

Sometimes you just have to forget about what's happened in the past and not look too far into the future. We're all very guilty of it but Rocky has taught me to enjoy the moment, the present.

He’s a very good boy is our Rocky ❤️

With so much darkness in the world it’s important to remember that there is also still a lot of love and kindness out there.

Pure love ❤️ (7/7)

Good morning from Thailand. Today’s plan…

🥘 Off to feed 80 street dogs myself
🏥 Workers here building the dog hospital
🧑‍🍳 Kitchen making food for 1300 dogs
✂️ 12 dogs already waiting for sterilizing
🤒 8 dogs under critical medical care
🌎 Around the world we will fund 300 dogs sterilizing operations today

The only bad part is I have to go to my desk and do boring things like admin and finding the money to pay for this as CEO after feeding the dogs! Would rather be with the dogs all day.

Have a lovely day everybody!!! ❤️

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

A momentous week. Tina will not be forgotten ❤️

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

I just love how regal Sienna now looks.

It is as if for the first time in her life she is proud of herself ❤️
