Flood Update January 2012:

Happy New Year to all SCAD friends and family! The dogs are woofing with delight and cats purring with pleasure now that SCAD is back in its own premises – the Cat Center in Sukhumvit 93 Road, and the Dog Center east of Bangkok. The emergency TWP Dog Shelter at Bang Pu closed on 8 January, with 72 remaining dogs being trucked to SCAD. All have settled well into their new environment, which is great news.

The Shelter was a vital haven for 200 dogs for three months and we again sincerely thank Thai Wattana Panich Press for the use of their surplus factory land. Elephant Nature Foundation has already taken dozens of dogs back to their Chiang Mai dog sanctuary, and once they are fit and healthy more make the same journey in the coming weeks. SCAD still has around 200 animals in care, the bulk of them are victims of the flood. Thanks to our donors, we continue to bring these wonderful animals back to ship-shape health with medical treatment, vaccination, sterilization and rehabilitation. Lots of adoptions have taken place, so look for updates in our future newsletters about those. So many people have helped during this stressful time.

THANK YOU to our donors, supporters, volunteers, staff, foster carers, the external vet clinics and the dozens of individuals who did whatever they could to help the animals. Here’s to a bright 2012 ahead!
