Objectives

Our objectives are simple:

•To manage, control and reduce the stray dog and cat populations here in Phuket and Thailand.

•Sterilise, vaccinate and treat all animals in need of care and attention.

•To promote awareness and provide education in effective animal management and animal care.

By working with members of the local community, PAWS has been able to identify areas where large populations of stray animals are located and using this targeted approach, dogs and cats can be sterilised, treated for any diseases and re-released back to their local area.

Education is also a huge part of our work and we make special efforts to introduce the concept of animal welfare and animal management practices to ensure to the longer term success of our programme.

Since 2004, PAWS has sterilised, vaccinated and treated over 20,000 dogs and cats in Phuket and surrounding islands and areas.

It must be stressed however, that PAWS remains committed to providing quality service with a focus on animal welfare, rather than simply just generating numbers and our vets have received international training and backing from organisations such as WSPA and the RSPCA.
