A new pond, shed, and so much more! Pretty much what our animals in our sanctuary would chatter in excitement about if they could speak!
AWRC underwent major upgrades and clean up works last Sunday!

Kaew Khun's Shower Enrichment
15th Oct 2014, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
In Lao PDR, the staff and volunteers have been trying hard to make life for Kaew Khun better until we can develop her own island.
Recently, with the help of volunteers, we fixed the shower in her enclosure. She has probably not experienced a shower before ACRES, hence her reaction - watch it in the video below!
We'll keep on trying new things to brighten up her life :)

Often scurrying their way through the city through drains and pipes, and seen as pests, how much do you know of these beautiful creatures, who play a big part in our lives being one of the most highly used test subjects in animal testing laboratories, for you and me.
