An 8 million baht budget has been approved for a ‘dog condo’ and landscaping at the Phuket Government Stray Dog Shelter in Suan Pa Bang Kanun, Thalang.

 

Phuket Lifestock Office Chief, Surajit Witchuwan, spoke about the improvements to the government dog shelter, a shelter located on 4 rai with about 500 dogs that has been opened since 2003 and was identified with low hygiene standard.

 

“The Governor wants to renovate the shelter to be a place that is more welcoming for visitors and a better home for the dogs living there. The approved budget last year was 1.5 million Baht to fix the roof of the 14 cages and to improve the cages as well as building a staff compound, clinic, and a separate building for sick dogs.”
