Welcome to the first Project Report of 2019

Educating the children is how we can make positive change for the animals

We have to start with the children if we want to make a lasting positive change for the animals on Koh Lanta.   Lanta Animal Welfare works with the local schools to teach the children to understand and respect animals.  While we do go to the local schools regularly, we are now starting to bring them to our Centre so they can interact with the animals on a more formal basis and learn how to build relationships with them.  Moving forward we also want to provide interactive technology for the students, and their families.  This includes video, apps and other ways of educating the locals on animal care, the importance of sterilization and a regular immunization and check-up program for the animals.

Over the years, we've seen heartbreaking case after another of animal cruelty and neglect. Although there has been noticeable improvement in the way the animals are treated, there is still much to do in shifting how animals are regarded overall. 

You are now a part of the solution with your support of this project, that is making a world of difference for the animals of Koh Lanta!  Our education program continues to change the attitudes of the locals towards the animals, starting with the children and moving through their parents, throughout their families.  The efforts in education, and our ability to rescue more and more animals, will make lasting change for the animals a reality.


The Cherished Older Dogs at Lanta Animal Welfare

And now a bit of news on our 'dog' side of the Centre.  

We have three amazing golden oldies at Lanta Animal Welfare.  They are Yak, Sanchez and Wayne.  These three senior dogs of LAW recently left their mark, literally. They each had their paw prints memorialized on the ground at the entrance of the Center. 

They are a testament to what your support can do, despite their traumatic pasts, from being attacked by a pack of dogs, to suffering from hunger pangs and unbearable skin conditions, to seeking refuge from abuse, speeding cars, motorbikes, and harsh weather. 

Without the monthly donations from our supporters, dogs like Yak, Sanchez and Wayne will die on the streets because we will not be able to continue helping them.  

Please check the video found at the end of this report for a video of these dogs making their mark at the entrance to our facility.
