Headrock is a small dog shelter based in Bang Saphan, Thailand – 190 kms south of Hua Hin. Much of the work is carried out in the small center, in temple grounds & on the streets. They can house up to 60 dogs at a time and have the ability to treat and care for up to 100 dogs. Headrock help street dogs/mistreated or abandoned animals by neutering, vaccinating, treating skin disorders and providing medical or surgical help to animals in need. It’s amazing what a little tender love and care can do.
They also try to educate those living around the area that neutering and vaccinating will help their dogs and that by neutering their owned dogs, there will be no pups to abandon. Help is also given to locals by neutering their dogs if they can’t afford it.
The majority of their donated funds are spent directly on neutering healthy dogs and on medical expenses for sick dogs and puppies. They endeavor to give effective medication for all types of ailments and accidents and to ensure an essential vaccination programme is undertaken.
Headrock Dogs Rescue also try re-home as many dogs as possible locally. Their remote location makes overseas adoption difficult. Headrock is run by Verity Cattanach Poole, her husband Thep & volunteers.
For dogs needing help, be they street dogs or abandoned pets often the only place of refuge will be a small rescue shelter. The world is full of small shelters trying to make a difference with little or no support. Long hours, dirty work, heartbreak & lack of money is what animal rescue is about, punctuated by the happy events that make it all worthwhile.
