Short Summary

Started in 2013, Rescue Paws aims to first stabilize and then reduce the stray animal population in Thailand over time through vaccinations, sterilization, adoptions, and education to get it to a manageable level. Thailand faces a huge problems with the ever-growing number of stray animals living on the streets, in poor health, and reproducing at an alarming rate.

The Impact

This campaign is vital for the stabilisation of Thailand's Street Dogs. Anyone who has visited Thailand knows the horrible state the street dogs are in. They are often left to die of heat exhaustion, starvation or disease; usually on the side of the road.

As locals become accustomed to the amount of dogs on the street, their sympathy runs short as it becomes so normal for them. Not only this, but Thailand is a Buddhist country so the ethics of most people are to not put down a dying dog, even if it's in extreme pain. To top this off, the locals who do want help rarely have the funds to pay for vet services.

This is where Rescue Paws comes in. We have a full kennel, surgery & rehabilitation center for any dogs that we deem are in need of care or the locals bring to us. As well as this, we feed close to 600 dogs weekly in 8 different areas of the town we operate from, Hua Hin. As the demand for Rescue Paws grows, so does the demand for resources. Our kennels are at full capacity and as they are outside, they attract blood parasites; the very thing that most of the dogs are recovering from.

What We Need & What You Get

We're about to embark on our biggest project to date, and yet donations/funding are at the lowest they've ever been!

This kennel is a long overdue necessity as blood parasites are unfortunately becoming the biggest killer and the dogs need an area they can recover where the ticks can't get them. 70% of street puppies don't make their 6-month birthday and we're trying to fix that, slowly but surely.
