The meeting reported about the progress of building a new cement floor in the dog enclosures to make it easy to clean and reduce the smell, making the dogs less stressed.

 

Phuket’s Governor hosted a meeting with the Phuket Dog Shelter Management Committee today (December 29) at Provincial Hall in Phuket Town to follow up on the progress of its renovation, together with the Chief of Phuket Provincial Livestock Office and a representative of Phuket’s Soi Dog Foundation.

 

“There are 460 dogs in the shelter by now and the shelter opens its door to all the stray dogs, especially those that are reported to have attacked people on the street. The shelter receives about 20 – 30 dogs per month, under the project ‘Keep Phuket Clean by Our Hands and Hearts’,” said the Governor.

Dogs that attack people are usually put down where I live as are the excess that people discard, if not found homes after a few months.

 

Unfortunate but what else can be done there are just too many.
