How much does it cost per sterilization? It costs approximately 1,000 ($26) -1,500 ($40) Thai Baht for us to sterilize and vaccinate a dog. Are sterilizations free? As part of our community project, stray animals, community animals and those owned by low-income families are sterilized for free. In order to continue sterilizing disadvantaged animals, we rely on the donations we receive from animal lovers. We are also happy to sterilize pets, however, we do ask that a donation be made to the organization in return. Do you hold community events? Our team regularly run sterilization events as part of our community outreach project where all animals are welcome to be sterilized and vaccinated.
Though we focuse mainly on sterilization, we will do all that we can to help those in need. Should you find an animal in need, you can contact us for information and advice. Please keep in mind that we are a small organization and, due to limited space, we may not always be able to take in an animal. However, in the case that we are unable to take an animal in, we will treat the animal in its current location. In the event that you find an animal in need please contact help@pawscharity.org with the location and information on the animal and we will try our best to help.
When we have a stray animal come into our care, we take a unique approach in our procedures, as it differs from a mass sterilization clinic. We ensure the dogs are looked after properly and with the utmost care. Each of our animals is given some much-needed recovery time in our kennels post sterilization– this period ensures that we can provide proper after care and ensure a quick recovery. When the animal is given a clean bill of health, we release them back to their packs. If the animal is sick, they remain in our care, receiving proper medication and treatment until they are healthy enough to return to their pack.
