Long time Soi Dog supporter and volunteer Lillian Dinic has announced a challenge after reading Soi Dog’s recent newsletter. Lillian has offered to match your sponsorship of a Soi Dog (up to a maximum of 13 matches).

As our mobile clinic program continues to expand, Soi Dog is in urgent need of a mobile autoclave. An autoclave is a device to sterilize medical instruments and supplies by subjecting them to high-pressure steam at 121 °C or more. 

Kasia, aged 9 and Alicia Sambrook, aged 6 will be attempting a guided ascent of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo on behalf of the Soi Dog Foundation.          

A very difficult clinic, all equipment had to be driven to the pier then carted the full length of the pier, on to a boat,then off loaded on the island and transported to the labour camp. The canopy was inadequate and electricity had yet to be supplied. We managed to sterilise 4 dogs before the heavens opened & we had a huge storm & everyone got absolutely drenched as can be seen in the pictures.

These dogs are typical of what we see everyday. Animals like this used to suffer and die on the street before Soi Dog began our treatment and desexing programs 6 years ago. It is only through your support that we have been so successful in helping these poor animals.

Soi Dog Australia is pleased to announce the relocation of it's regional offices to Melbourne, Victoria. Kindness House Foundation has generously provided office space and facilities for Soi Dog's use in their city offices.

Soi Dog extends an enormous thanks to the students and faculty of the American School of the Hague for their continued support in helping the homeless dogs and cats of Thailand!

At the Soi Dog Shelter we have two choices: build more and more runs for dogs that cannot be released or get the dogs adopted. Building more runs is not a viable option. Even though these dogs are better off at the shelter they cannot live the rest of their lives there and they need  your help to find homes!

Soi Dog has completed the initial purchase of part of the land on which the animal shelter is located. Soi Dog has negotiated an arrangement whereby the remaining land can be purchased within a fixed period at an agreed price of 10 million baht (approx. $300,000 USD). This land currently houses Soi Dog’s clinic, the puppy and old/weak dog’s runs, as well as other critical facilities. The acquisition of this land is critical in sustaining the growth of Soi Dog and continuing our work in helpings the stray and homeless animals of Thailand. We are appealing to new and existing supporters for your help in purchasing the remainder of the land by October, 2010. This is a critical and immediate initiative for Soi Dog.

In 2009 Gill became the first non Asian to be awarded the Asian Of The Year Award for her work caring for Thailand's unwanted and neglected dogs and cats.

Milo survived the tsunami five years ago and now he desperately needs your help! Milo had become the unofficial mascot at the post-tsunami tracking office. There he met and befriended volunteers Robert and Sandra Nock from the UK who spent a year working for the charity in Thailand. After living a comfy life as the mascot for the post-tsunami tracking office for several years, Milo was sadly left behind. Milo continued to live outside the former office, living on what scraps he could find.

The following article was graciously written and published by Barbara Castleman of Best Friends Animal Society concerning the severe water shortage at the shelter. Due to a particularly dry season the Shelter's well is nearly dry and urgent works must be commenced immediately to address this dire issue. Water will soon need to be carted to the Shelter at significant expense.

Karmani has been saved and is now healthy, safe and happy as a result of a person like you wanting to make our world a better place. You may wish to consider doing the same, by clicking here: Save A Dog!

I think I must have seen everything that man can inflict on his fellow creatures. However this is a new one for me.I have seen many cases of dogs that have had their jaws tied with elastic band wet cord which eventually severs the nose.Yesterday the Lauer family on holiday in Kao lak from Germany arrived at the shelter with a young puppy they had seen.

Shanti was found by the dog catchers this week. He had been surviving by eating the latex liquid in a rubber plantation. Many other dogs at this plantation were not so fortunate. Shanti has received medical treatment and is slowly being nursed back to health at Soi Dog's shelter in Mai Khow.

Many people ask us what happened to Rawai, the dog that was found tied up at a restaurant on Rawai beach who was featured on our home page a few months ago.

For the past three years, the 10-11 year old 5th graders at the American School of the Hague (ASH) in the Netherlands have been enthusiastically participating with Soi Dog Foundation in their work helping to improve the lives of the abused and neglected animals of Phuket, Thailand. The children at our school come from over 50 countries.
