Amidst the splendour of Bangkok's temples and on its busy streets, thousands of stray cats and dogs endure a miserable existence. Their plight is largely ignored. At SCAD* we aim to change that.

Established in 2002, SCAD (previously Soi Dog Rescue*) is a not-for-profit organisation with realistic goals: to reduce the number and improve the lives of Bangkok’s strays and, in so doing, create a happier and healthier environment for all to enjoy.

By involving residents and local businesses in neighbourhoods affected by large numbers of strays, we aim to encourage a better understanding of their plight and a readiness to tackle the problem at community level using humane and effective methods. SCAD provides appropriate information on the benefits of animal birth control (ABC), shares the knowledge required to be responsible pet owners and hopes to kindle in people the belief that showing kindness to all the animals that share our world has far better consequences for humankind than apathy or cruelty.

SCAD is run by dedicated volunteers and a handful of enthusiastic staff. It is funded by donations and the proceeds from our ReTails Stores. We need your support to help us run our programmes and bring the changes that are so desperately needed.
