Our Objectives :

  • Produce more and varied material to increase awareness on the needs and benefits of dogs as helpful companions for the general public, disabled people, businesses and organizations

  • Broaden the dissemination of know-how on the way humans should interact with dogs

  • Create a better environment in which humans and dogs can live together and encourage a positive attitude towards animals
 

Our team of Lanna Dog Rescue wants to improve the situation of the stray dogs in Chiang Mai / northern Thailand. Sick and destitute dogs wander the streets, are neglected, poisoned or dumped in temples. When they get sick, they often die painfully. Something should be done about stray dogs and they should be given a life. We are ready to accept responsibility to try to manage the stray dog problem in a kind and humane way. We organize:

- sterilisations to avoid further offspring
- medical care / vaccinations
- rescue for dogs in need
- finding new homes for dogs

The Arabian Caliph Ali once said:
"If one dog is hungry in the Kingdom, I am responsible."

In the same token, the first precept of Thai Buddhism is:
"I undertake not to kill any living thing."

Thus, responsibility for all living beings must be taken.

We want to help the stray dogs in Chiang Mai and encourage a positive attitude towards animals.
