Lanna Dog Rescue

Last night for the first time i attended a meeting of Lanna Dog Rescue, having been invited by the lovely Ronny. Being a dog lover i was intrigued to the work they carry out and what their plans are.

I was welcomed by a small group of lovely Ladies who dedicate most of their time to Dog rescue and care, their aims and objectives are
to manage the numbers of strays and unwanted off spring through sterilisation,
organise medical care for dogs in need
find loving homes for strays
increase awareness of the benefits and needs of dogs within local communities to those communities and how they should be handled.

The meeting last night however was to discuss today and the coming week. Today at Thappee gate and during the week at various Wat's in the area. This week will see a programme of free health care for Dog's and Cats offering vaccinations including Rabies, sterilisations and blood tests for heart worm, for strays and the not so rich in the community whom could not normally afford this for their animals.

Today and all of next week Lanna Dog Rescue members will be in attendance to assist with paperwork and Nursing duties at the various locations. If you know anyone who cannot afford sterilisation ( of their animals) and would like the procedure carried out they can attend, with the animal (s) at the venue on the day. Like wise you may take any GENUINE strays for the procedure, but please check it is stray.

Lanna Dog Rescue has just been approved to become a member of WISPA.

If you would like to donate money or time to this project, visit their web site for further information. They really are doing a great job for All our 4 legged friends.
