Organizations Filed Purposes:
Soi Dog Foundation USA supports efforts aimed at public education and support of animal protection and welfare issues. Our mission is to provide information to the American public on the plight of animals and to solicit financial support to help prevent and eliminate animal cruelty. Specific support areas include: Providingmedical care (emergency treatment, hospital construction, etc.); controlling overpopulation of stray animals through sterilization programs; ending thedog meat trade and providing grants for animal shelters and animal care at those shelters.
As in year's past, much of Soi Dog's work is to care for the dogs and cats under its care at its shelters in Thailand. This past year, Soi Dog Foundation USA continued our fundraising efforts to support this vital effort. The dogs and cats under the direct care of Soi Dog are not able to survive on their own due to their health, physical condition and/or the threat of injury or death should they be released back to their local communities. Soi Dog's efforts to care for the most neglected of animals in Phuket and Bangkok has made a huge difference. With nearly 1,000 active monthly donors in the US, the ongoing dog sponsorship program and the cat and puppy care programs have provided these animals a safe place to live with medical care, food and socialization. As a result of this care, Soi Dog's ability to secure local and foreign adoptions has grown dramatically with over 820 being placed in homes in the past year.Finally, Soi Dog Foundation USA continued to support Soi Dog's major initiative to complete the building of a new, state of the art veterinarian hospital at the foundation's headquarters in Phuket. This initiative was launched in 2012 via Soi Dog's Hanako Hospital Appeal. With the Foundation's shelter improvements (new dog runs, a new cat hospital, etc.) complete, the major focus at the Phuket shelter was to complete the new dog hospital. The new hospital will prevent high risks of cross infection, provide optimal environment for healing, segregate dogs by illness and age and include much needed medical technology like xrays. It is the best equipped and most modern hospital of its kind in Thailand and be able to improve the number of successful medical outcomes for the most severely injured or sick dogs that arrive at the shelter.
Soi Dog Foundation USA continued supporting Soi Dog Foundation's ongoing animal welfare efforts in Thailand. We solicited general (unrestricted) donations to support Soi Dog's mission. For example, funds were used to increase the number of sterilizations in Phuket to a record 80,000 dogs this past year. Soi Dog's success in Phuket is now being replicated in other provinces within Thailand. A major area of focus moving forward will be to sterilize as many of the estimated 640,000 street dogs in Bangkok with the goal to be to sterilize 100,000 dogs per year. The funds were also used to provide ongoing support of Soi Dog's facilities and staff, to continue to combat distemper and other outbreaks and to continue with shelter improvements such as the continued building out new dog runs where sheltered dogs could be better segregated by age, disposition and health. Finally, another major initiative was to continue to support a fully operational Soi Dog clinic in Bangkok.
As Soi Dog Foundation has grown, more and more dogs and cats are being treated andcared for at its shelters. Soi Dog's visibility and advanced medical treatment facilities have provided the opportunity to save more animals. As a result, Soi Dog clinics are now treating over 200 animals per week with lifesaving treatment. To keep up with the need and demand for this level of medical care, Soi Dog Foundation USA supported the development of an Emergency Response Fund. Donations solicited under this and the Angels for Dogs Appeal provide much needed and consistent funding for the life-saving medical treatment and ongoing care of animals with the direst and heart-wrenching medical emergencies and conditions.
