Message from the Dog and Cat Samui Rescue Foundation | Samui Times

Dear Animal Lovers on We would like to THANK EVERYONE who has supported the paralysed dog MAA from the Temple WAT PLAI LAEM. We were overwhelmed with help and her wheelchair is already on the way. It turned out that some of the ‘supporters’ of another temple – the WAT PANG BUA in Chaweng have a big problem with some of the dogs living with the monks there and have expressed plans of having them removed by the government. Even the monks stood up for the dogs and asked us for help. Thankfully the guys who want the dogs away assured us that nothing will be done in the next 2 weeks but what’s then is still unclear. The monks came up with the idea of building a fence around their houses in order to keep the dogs close to the monks and avoid further problems. If that’s what has to be done, we will of course use some of the money we received for the Temple-dog Maa and build a fence at the other temple in order to protect the almost 60 dogs living there (all neutered and fully vaccinated by our Temple-Team!)

Thank you very much for all your help. We hope we can count on your continued support so that we can make even more progress in the future. We believe our efforts to make Koh Samui more animal-friendly have made it a happier and safer place for tourists, for which the tourists are grateful. Our four-legged friends are most grateful for your contribution!
