ONLY FIVE SALAS LEFT AT THE SHELTER FOR SPONSORSHIP!!

Would you like to make some dogs very happy this holiday season?

Are you looking for a meaningful gift for a loved one?

This holiday season you can achieve both!

Soi Dog are currently in the process of replacing the bamboo salas (shelters) with new concrete ones in all of the dog runs. Whilst the more traditional bamboo salas may look nicer, it has been found that they are not lasting long in the harsh Thailand weather (lots of sun and lots of rain). The current bamboo salas break easily and the dogs like to chew on them. This poses a risk to the dogs and because of this, we plan to construct new concrete and steel salas that will be long lasting and not pose a risk to the dogs.

As you can see from the photo, the dogs who have already received their new salas just love them. They provide shade and a cool spot to rest out of the rain and sun. They allow the perfect vantage point for the dogs to see what is happening around the shelter and a place to hide when they are feeling shy.

How can YOU help?

Each sala costs around 15,000 baht to construct (approximately 480 USD or 350 Euros). We are giving our supporters the opportunity to fund one of these salas and in return we will put a plaque on the sala with your name, the name of a friend or loved one, or a message in memory of a loved pet. Sponsoring a sala can be a great holiday gift! The dogs will be so grateful for your help � sleeping on the ground is no fun.
