Soi Dog urges dogs, cats lovers to visit its Phuket office
The Soi Dog foundation pleads lovers of dogs and cats to visit its shelter in Mai Khao, Phuket, next Saturday to adopt street animals that have been rescued and sheltered there.
The foundation said in its press statement that the adoptions event will be held from 9am to 12 pm on March 19. The adoptions event will focus on puppies, kittens and cats.
“Right now the shelter is bursting at the seams with puppies and cats. There are so many animals who would make great pets, and we’re really keen to find them safe and loving homes,” Teresa Colman, Adoptions Manager, said.
Potential adopters need to complete a short interview on the day with a member of the Adoptions Team, which includes a Thai speaker.
“The interview is to ensure we match the right pet with the right home. The interview includes questions about the adopters’ home and any existing pets. There are also some other things that potential adopters need to consider when adopting a Soi Dog or Cat. For example, our dogs can only go to homes where the garden has a fully enclosed fence, so it would be really helpful if adopters could bring along some photos of their garden on the day,” Colman added.
Re-homing dogs and cats is a major part of Soi Dog’s work. The Foundation re-homed around 500 dogs and cats in 2015, both locally and overseas. All animals are sterilised and vaccinated prior to adoption.
