The "funny part", with this "non  profit organisations", is very often, that the bosses are getting a nice salary out of it. Even enough, for getting wp's.

The company itself makes zero profit, many workers are doing it for merrits only, but .....!

And the tendency, to do good with only the money of others is a rising behavior!

Sorry, just have seen to many "we need your money, so that we can continue doing good" (instead of having to look for a real job)

They care for 300-400 dogs

Food, vet bills, all kinds of expenses

 

I am suspect of many charities but this one would have a ton of expenses................

Oh yes, but hey made it a business, to care for them!

As I said, most NGOs are paying salaries for the bosses who often created it. Non profit or not, they found   themselves profitable income!

Your attitude is totally unconscionable. Of course people have a salary - do you think they live on fresh air!?!?!

You seem to be implying that this charity is corrupt and that the dogs should be left to their own devices. A really short-sighted attitude.

So you don't work, we should take away your pension and left to live off the street like a dog?

I don't disagree with any of that

 

 

But the 2 or 3 dog charities  I have dealt with in Thailand seemed to be doing it for the love, than the money

 

And taking care of 300-400 dogs is hard work, so not many people going into that for money making purposes

 

 

I have many instances, but one sticks out

 

We stayed up above Hua Hin and seemed that area was a dumping ground for soi dogs to get them out of sight

Every day, multiple times/day, the charity was up there feeding them

They aren't getting any glory doing that..............

If you want to find love in Pattaya adopt a dog not a Bargirl. 

Dogs will be happy with just food and water and they won't Hound you between the 1st to the 10th of the month when their rents due they don't want gold or an iPhone .

And they'll always be genuinely happy to see you 555555

I have been visiting this organisation for over 8 years as I live in another country and they do a great work for the care of these dogs .They feed them 7 days per week and if need medical assistance,flea treatment and well looked after ,they also pay workers and rely on volunteers.They need urgent help to relocate ..

"Stray" dogs are a massive problem in Thailand and anyone operating the CNVR method: Catch – Neuter – Vaccinate – Return - is doing a good job.

 

One thing you should never do is feed "stray" foods - it attracts more dogs and dogs relay on a food supply to breed so it only exacerbates the problem
