Leone Cosens Memorial Feeding Programme

So SDF introduced the Leone Cosens feeding programme in memory of the late Leone Cosens who died in the Asian Tsunami.

Volunteers are feeding dogs throughout Phuket at temples, beaches and other locations. Volunteers buy food from their own pocket and wherever possible volunteers also collect leftover food from hotels but SDF is are now buying nearly 2,600 kgs of dry dog and cat food every month to supplement this, a cost of 50,000 baht per month.

Although most feeding is done by volunteers at their own expense we do employ to local Thais to feed many of the dogs. The costs for these people and their transportation comes to 10,000 baht per month. That's a total of 60,000 Thai Baht per month.

When we feed dogs in the temples and other locations we see many dogs and cats needing treatment. We now urgently need people to sponsor dogs and cats to cover our treatment costs, which come to 40,000 THB per month on average.

Many thanks to all of our sponsors, some of whom pay for treatment and food of their sponsored animal. The figures above show the overall number of sponsors we need to support both the food and the treatment programs. When you sponsor a dog or a cat you help not only the animal you have sponsored but many, many others. The figures below show you all help over 1000 dogs and cats a month to be fed. To keep treating the animals that come to us every month we need  more sponsors.

Thanks to all your help over 290 dogs and cats are now sponsored!  Westilldesperately need sponsors to help us pay for our expenditure in feeding, treating and sterilising.

We desperately need caring people to sponsor a dog or cat.

It costs 300THB per month to feed an animal (about 4 UKP, 6 EUROS, 7.5 USD). 400THB will cover both food and treatment, including regular flea and tick treatment and annual vaccinations.

See just a few of the dogs and we are currently feeding. None of these animals and hundreds of others has a proper home or name. By adopting and naming one or more of the dogs and cats we will be pleased to send you regular updates and photos.
