Thailand street dogs

My name is Falko Duwe. I have been living and working in Pattaya, Thailand for many years. In my spare time, I have been looking after cats and dogs living on the streets. My work during those early years focused on sterilization, rescuing, providing medical treatment and finding homes for animals I was keeping. Since 2011 I’m solely focusing on dog rescuing.

After several evictions and relocations I decided to build my own shelter in 2018 where I’m currently keeping 77 dogs. For 21 more, I’m looking after at a Buddhist temple area close to a beach. All those dogs were coming from several areas of Pattaya and had to learn living together. They are all spayed/neutered.

There are around 70 more dogs I’m monitoring on Pattaya’s streets and waste grounds. Several helpers are feeding them with food I provide.

In 2018, I initiated a sterilization project which is being funded by Soi Dog Foundation Phuket. By the end of April 2022 more than 9,000 dogs have been sterilized. The project is going to be funded until the rest of the year.

I rely solely on donations to carry on with my work. My monthly budget which is 70,000 THB just covers my regular costs but not necessary expenses for repairs and replacements. Any additional funds would help me to continue with my efforts in a decent manner.

Anyone who is interested in my work and requires more information to support my cause, please contact me on [email protected]. I’ll be more than happy to provide any additional information you might require.

I am documenting my activities monthly on http://streetanimalprojectpattaya.blogspot.com/
