Description:
Located in a small village near the airport surrounded by a rubber tree plantation in the bustling tourist town of Phuket, Thailand you can find the Soi Dog Foundation, a non-profit sanctuary for street dogs.
Soi Dog’s work extends beyond Phuket to Bangkok and other provinces in Thailand. Every year, Soi Dog spays/neuters and vaccinates tens of thousands of street dogs and cats in Thailand. They are also fighting the Asian dog meat trade and they have almost completely wiped it out in Thailand. They continue to campaign for an end to the trade in South Korea, Vietnam, and other Southeast Asian countries where it is prevalent.
Daily, the foundation is home to around 800 dogs and 200 cats, many suffering with horrible injuries ranging from being hit by cars, animal cruelty by humans, skin diseases, and much more. The staff has a full-time veterinarian team, physiotherapists, caretakers, and even dog behaviorists helping to rehabilitate traumatized dogs so they can be adopted. The staff provides life-saving surgery, physiotherapy, and human affection and loving care.
