About us
The main focus of the foundation is to educate the local people how to provide their animals with good general health care and offer the services necessary to do so. There is no official billing system at the foundation. It is asked that people pay for the materials used, but the time and treatments are free. People usually cover the cost of materials, plus they give a donation towards the care of the temple and street animals. The people of Koh Chang have known Lisa for over 8 years now; they have come to trust her. If someone needs help with their animal and they have no money, it’s not a problem. They already know that they can come to the foundation to receive animal health care for free. Sometimes a donation of fish, rice, washing powder or bleach is offered (and greatly appreciated).
The services provided at the foundation include:
- General health care
- Initial vaccinations
- Yearly booster vaccinations
- Sterilization (for population control)
- Parasite control
- Wound management
- Emergency services (most common are car hits and poisonings)
- Hospitalization/critical care
- Paperwork for traveling animals
