a dog’s Victor’s life helping animals is helping ourselves

hua hin, THAILAND The animal world in Thailand has been making headlines recently, with the closure of the Tiger Temple, and official raids on other establishments across the country, but one of the biggest problems Thailand faces is that of the dog population. While they are often referred to by Westerners as ‘man’s best friend’, dogs in Thailand are not shown much love or friendship by us, principally because their growth in sheer numbers makes them seen more as pests than anything else, with many people scared of the large packs of soi dogs that can be encountered at night. There are many organisations that have, and are trying to address the situation, through a variety of means, but they often struggle because their efforts require funds, as well as more awareness and consideration from the public. In the past we have championed the efforts of Headrock Dogs, who still operate but now in the Bang Saphan area, and now in Hua Hin taking up the baton are Rescue Paws. The people behind Rescue Paws hail from Thailand and South Africa, and the charity emerged from founding companies, The Global Work & Travel Co. and Xplore Asia, which cover all costs such as administration, staff, marketing, fund-raising and communications. Donations received go directly to benefiting the dogs, such as medical supplies, food and individual projects. More details of their work can be found at their website, rescuepawsasia.org, with volunteer work and donations being the key areas assistance can be given. Through a programme of adoptions, education, neutering, sponsoring packs and general health care of the animals, Rescue Paws will make Hua Hin a better place for both the dogs and human residents of the area. They deserve our help to do so.
