Soi Dog Foundation, Animal welfare organization in Phuket, Thailand.
Soi Dog Foundation is an animal protection organization in Phuket, Thailand, offering medical care, shelter, and rehabilitation programs for stray dogs and cats. The facility includes surgical theaters, isolation areas for sick animals, and outdoor enclosures where creatures receive round-the-clock attention.
The organization was established in 2003 in response to the large population of stray animals that posed a serious problem across the region. Since then it has worked with veterinarians and local authorities to expand protection measures and improve conditions for street animals.
The grounds reflect daily work with dogs and cats receiving care and training, giving visitors a genuine sense of how animal welfare operates in practice. Staff members work openly with the animals, and you see the lived community between caretakers and rescued creatures throughout the space.
You can visit the grounds on most days, though planning ahead helps ensure you get a good overview of the work. The paths are well marked, and staff on-site can answer questions and explain what you are seeing.
The organization runs a sterilization program that has changed the lives of tens of thousands of dogs and cats and markedly reduced the number of street animals in the region. This program is often called the key to the organization's success because it addresses the problem at its root.
