Vietnam Animal Aid & Rescue	Turunc Cats Rescue – Turkey

[su_accordion] [su_spoiler title=”MAOLAND SHELTER – Harsova Romania home to 300+ street dogs” style=”fancy” ]Marinela Piperea and her almost 360 dogs and 15 cats live in the middle of nowhere, with sometimes no running water or electricity. Her animals do not have enough to some days but don’t complain because they have been rescued from a terrible situation.

She aims not only to make the dogs safe, and away from the horrors of the streets but out of the hands of the dog catchers. In Harsova there is no public dog shelter so should have no dog catchers but the dogs are not safe on the streets. Many are rounded up & killed.

Shelters like Maoland are in remote areas so less likely to be raided by the authorites who have been known to remove all the dogs & kill them. Life for dogs in Romania is fraught with danger, without people like Marinela there is little hope for them.

She does miracles with little money & shortage of help…  VISIT THE MAOLAND PAGE…[/su_spoiler]

Much of  their work is carried out in their 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. 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. . It’s amazing what a little tender love and care can do. Headrock Dogs Rescue receive no government assistance, they rely solely on donations to continue their work.

[su_spoiler title=”SYROS STRAY ANIMAL SHELTER – the only dog refuge on the island of Syros Greece…” style=”fancy”]The island of Syros is the capitol of the Cyclades islands off the east coast of Greece, a truly beautiful island surrounded by azure blue sea. A paradise for tourist but not always for its dogs. Hunting with dogs is a common pastime in Greece but if the dog proves unsuitable to the task they are often abandoned.

These beautiful dogs have only one place of refuge, the Syros shelter recently rebuilt by K9Aid is close to the airport. The dogs are cared for by volunteers & what little money can be raised by local supporters. Such proud animals deserve better than this, some are re-homed in Europe but many are still looking for that forever home. They need YOUR help to have any hope of a better life… VISIT THE SYROS STRAY ANIMAL PAGE… [/su_spoiler]

Hand to Paw – Mae  Rim Thailand	Falko Duwe – Pattaya Thailand	All Animals are Suay – Chiang Mai, Thailand	Lena’s Island Sanctuary	Thai Street Paws Rescue

[su_accordion] [su_spoiler title=”HAND TO PAW TEMPLE OUTREACH – caring for dogs in our community in Chiang Mai Thailand……” style=”fancy” ] American-born, world-raised, my husband, I and our seven rescued Thai street and temple dogs have called our home “Thailand” for the past 8 years. My previous years of experience volunteering with two dog rescue organizations in Thailand is what helped prepare me to work with abandoned, sick and abused dogs living in a temple environment. I independently began working with temple dogs six years ago when I rode my bicycle past Daisy, a temple dog, emaciated, anemic, bleeding from her nose and vagina from a TvT tumor in front of the Wat Nongplaman temple. All alone she lay listless in the middle of a bustling crowd. She was not hated, not loved, not seen – simply treated with indifference…  VISIT HAND TO PAW’S PAGE…[/su_spoiler]

[su_spoiler title=”FALKO RESCUES THE STREET DOGS OF PATTAYA...” style=”fancy”]I am Falko Duwe I have a full time job and go out on the streets and temples every evening and on week-ends to look after homeless dogs. I focused on sterilisations and at the same time help to look after dogs in need. As there is no official spay and rescue organisation in Pattaya Thailand the situation is very dire and the need seems endless.I have very little money but what I have is spent looking after the dogs under my care. One of my priorities is to rescue dogs that are in danger of being rounded up & sent to Pattaya’s concentration camp in Plutaluang. A couple of dogs that I have been looking after were recently caught by City Hall’s dog catchers but I was able to rescue them from there.

After several odysseys with the dogs I finally found a place to put them. It is a Buddhist temple area very close to the beach, a forty minutes drive from where I live. I have now about twenty dogs there I feel responsible for. They came from several different places in Pattaya and have had to learn to live together. They are all spayed or neutered. Some of them I have know for more than three years and some I raised from day one.

The temple area is a pretty space and the Abbot allowed me to place the dogs in an area close to the beach. It is an open place and the dogs can run freely around having access to the beach. It goes without saying that there are many other dogs in the temple but the area is so large that close encounters with those dogs are rare. The dogs I’m looking after are not being fed by the temple and so I have to make sure that they are getting their daily food. Three days a week I drive down there and feed them with dry food and the other days I pay an old woman at the local market feed them rice.

Unfortunately, Thai people regularly abandon puppies on the beach or next to the temple wall which I have to take care as well. Some survive, some disappear after a while, and some I lose to distemper. The ones that survived on the beach I spayed as well.

This temple project is only one of my activities. Altogether I am looking after more than sixty dogs in and around Pattaya. My main expense is covering the costs for spaying since I’m trying to stop the breeding as best as I can. There are still many dogs in my neighborhood which I need to neutered but my financial resources are limited. I hope YOU can help me to improve the lives of Pattaya’s street dogs…  VISIT FALKO’S PAGE…[/su_spoiler]
