Hand to Paw (2025)

We spay and neuter 2,500 cats and dogs each year, we offer mass vaccination programs, and offer medical interventions as often as funding allows. We are an official Thai Foundation established in September 2022. Things we do:

- Love and Care by volunteers and student caretakers. Responsible for the basic health care of each dog that resides in the H2P temples; assess and tend to each dog for maln

utrition, injuries, wounds, illness, ticks and fleas with each visit.

- Guarantee that all dogs in our care are sterilized and vaccinated.

- Assess the ever-changing growth or loss of the dog population at each temple.

- Carry out fundraising efforts throughout the year to support our many Hand to Paw efforts.

- Offer immediate medical treatment and/or vet visits for any temple dog afflicted with an illness or injury. Provide a 24/7 emergency hotline to the monks for immediate assistance.

- Deter serious illness with yearly immunization, regular bathing, heartworm and tick and flea prevention and cleaning of food and water bowls.

- Maintain an updated medical history record for every dog under our care.

- Teach the monks how to administer medicines or other treatments for ill dogs at their temple.

- Provide 24-hour response to abandoned puppies within the temple grounds; follow-up post-natal care and adoption assistance.

- Donate monthly supplies of dry dog food to support the monks with daily feeding.

- Work hand in hand the other branches of Hand to Paw to aid stray dogs and dogs from low income families in need of emergency medical care and through a grant from The SoiDog Foundation to sterilize dogs and cats in the Mae Rim Provence.

FAMILY OF KITTENS IN NEED OF HELP - Our long-standing H2P caretakers in Chiang Rai have had a mama cat and her 4 male kittens appear on their family's property when first conceived. Big hearted as they are turning them away was not an option; instead they were welcomed with a safe and loving place for the mama to rear her little ones.

Hand to Paw has agreed to cover the costs of the vaccines and sterilization, but this quickly adds up for a feline family of this size and food is also desperately needed. Our caretakers care for many strays around their village as well as taking in a number to their home - 6 more mouths to feed is an added burden.

Could you be so kind to help us to support them? Together we can get this family a good start in life where in left unaided their lives would surely have taken a different route. Thank you.

R.I.P. 'TIMMY'...these post are always the hardest for me - I think not only of the premature loss of a beautiful life, but also the vulnerability of all stray dogs around the world. You can do so many things to try to ease their lives; food, medical care, love...but you can not guarantee them safety.

With heavy heart, Timmy, our blind temple dog was hit by a car and lost her life. We have little details other than her body was recovered. We have heard that it happened on HWY 107, but that does not make sense as it is a bit of a wander for a blind dog to find that busy highway from her temple. I assume it happened on a street or alleyway closer to the temple. It is also the time of Loy Kratong, fireworks going off night and day...did this play a part in her unfortunate death? These answers we will never know and will not bring her back.

What comfort we can gather at a time like this is that in her short life abandoned at a temple, succumbing to glaucoma at an early age and having both eyes removed where she learned to navigate quite well her temple surroundings, she did not suffer and she was loved. She was especially loved and cared for by H2P caretaker, McManus.

May she rest in peace and her spirit soar...

LIFE CAN BE SO UNFAIR...with tears in my eyes, I can't believe I am writing this post about our sweet, lovable "Si-Dta's" (Four-Eyes) passing.

This lively, full of life, greeter of the temple, kisser and snuggler had her life so tragically cut short by a road accident after chasing a dog out of the temple. Wat Hua Fai is one of the safest sanctuaries for our temple dogs, so when given the news that one is killed by a car - it leaves you in a state of shock.

Run free beautiful girl as I know you will. Oh how the temple will not be the same without your smile.

To all that knew and loved her, my heart felt condolences. She was loved by many.
