Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.
Hi everyone, I am Dan, 43, Brit in SIngapore and I love Dogs. I have 2 of my own and volunteer in SIngapore with Hope Dog Rescue, working with Strays and injured animals.
Other than being a Dog Lover and Company Man I play/sing music in a band in Singapore and love to travel. It is travel that has me a regular visitor to Thailand, especially going to my favorite HIIT training hub at Unit 27 Chalong, Phuket, a few times a year.
It is on these trips I regularly see the terrible state of some of the street dogs, who have to survive in very harsh conditions and an often unsympathetic general public. Thanks to the amazing work Soi Dog Foundation do, there is hope for some of these animals.
WHY AM I RAISING MONEY YOU ASK?
In north-eastern Thailand, a crisis is unfolding for innocent dogs and cats being housed in a facility that cannot cope. Owing to an over reaction to a very small number of Rabies cases, over 3000 + dogs and cats have been rounded up and dumped in a large warehouse with no aftercare plan whatsoever, housed in a facility set up to handle a few hundred.
Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket have sent an emergency response team to try to separate the strong dogs from the weak ones so the weak ones can eat, and vaccinate as many as possible and provide a lifeline. This is an urgent appeal to ask for for anyone to help donate anything you can, or if you cant donate money share this link with someone who might be able to. It really is a desperate situation, we need to feed, vaccinate and figure out a plan for these dogs before they die of disease or starvation, fighting or trafficked by meat traders.
I am a regular to Phuket and see the amazing work John Dalley and Soi Dog foundation due to raise awareness for sick and injured animals. So, With the help and support of my friends at Unit 27 Strength and Conditioning in Phuket, Thailand, I am going to be attempting at doing a 2000 burpees for 2000 dogs challenge on Monday 28th May with full support from Unit 27 and the 9 30 class, The Punisher helping me punch out to 2000..
I fully expect this challenge to be excruciating but I would do it every day to help rescue and repatriate as many of these poor sick animals so please dig deep. By the way, I HATE DOING BURPEES.
All proceeds will go to the Soi Dog foundation in Phuket to help with this urgent situation in at The Nakhon Phanom Shelter. I will provide an update and also visit the animal shelter as soon as I have completed my challenge...
I am a regular volunteer in Singapore, feeding dogs in abandoned factories and can assure you these dogs and cats are no different to the ones cuddled up on your couch, they just have no one to love them and are often appallingly treated and just want to to be safe and allowed to survive..Help me by donating whatever you can and we can make a small difference in their lives....
