Phuket Stray Dog Shelter: Caring for Phuket’s Vulnerable Animals

Located in Phuket’s Thalang District, the Phuket Stray Dog Shelter is home to over 1,000 dogs and cats, cared for by the Department of Livestock Development. With only 5-10 staff members managing this large shelter, the team faces significant challenges in providing adequate food, first aid supplies, and hygiene essentials. Many of the animals are elderly or ill, making the shelter’s daily needs even more critical.

Recognizing their dedication and the urgent need for support, Khiri Travel Phuket team visited the shelter on September 3, 2024. During our visit, we donated wet and dry dog food, cleaning supplies, and first aid equipment. These contributions aim to ease their burden and improve the well-being of the animals in their care.
