GREAT NEWS….. AYLA IS HOME! Ayla is a DMT survivor from Thailand who has lived at Elfes World in Koh Samui for over 3 years. She is now a part of Clar and Mike Murphy’s family in Chicago, IL.

This little love bug was searching hard for her own people to shower her love onto to and she found them! It is safe to say that she is very she should be and is loving every minute of it!!

Thank you to all who have helped Ayla along the way especially to Elfe! The most gratitude goes to Clar and Michael for making Ayla’s dreams come true.

You too can save a life.

Pre-Adoption Rescue Story

I don’t remember who named me anymore; that was 5 long years ago. But I can tell you this – in Turkish, Ayla means “halo of light around the moon”.

On many a night here in Koh Samui, as I lie on the packed earth enjoying a cool moonlit evening following yet another steamy, tropical day, I think about how symbolic my name is.
I am grateful beyond words for my current situation. Rescued from the brutal and illegal southeast Asian dog meat trade when I was just a baby, I am safe here at Elfesworld dog sanctuary – and believe me, I know how lucky I am and appreciate every aspect of my life!

But Elfe has told me that I am destined to fly across an ocean to find a new family and home – not one composed of hundreds of other dogs or a rotating roster of visitors and carers, but the actual “real deal“. I am pinching myself every night here, under the moonbeams, asking myself if this is really happening.

I have spent 5 years of my life here, growing up and becoming a big girl. I have many good years ahead, though – years that I dream will be full of life, adventures, and love.

I hope and pray that you will find me here, and know I am the one for you.

I promise I won’t disappoint! I will be the shiniest halo of light orbiting around you, who will be my moon. My stars. And my universe.
I hope we are together very soon!

I will be arriving into the USA on August 15, 2017. Please read my full story here.
