Okay, good,  I guess, but it seems a very odd decision when so much remains to be done at home. How about using that money to continue the comprehensive sterilisation programme for Thai soi dogs?  Too much work to be done here surely, they can't save all soi dogs everywhere. I suggest that is not their function, or the reason people give to the foundation, including me.

My sentiments exactly. Poland is an EU country with plenty of resources. The Soi dog foundation can not save animals all over the world. This is perhaps as much of a marketing campaign that may pay back many times over in the months and years to come?  As you say, far too much still to do in Thailand which is what the foundation should be focused on.

In the foundation name is written Phuket. People expect the money is used in Phuket or maybe in other place in Thailand but not in EU.

Year's before I tried to contact them for some help, like I did with other dog foundation. Nothing ever came back.  Post on FB deleted in minutes.
