Program Highlights

1. Hua Hin has great weather and beautiful scenery and a coastal beach city along the northeast side of the Malay Peninsula.

2. Rescue Paws improves the lives of animals on the streets of Thailand, providing local street animals with basic necessities such as food, healthcare, love and attention.

3. Volunteers will garner invaluable experience by helping to facilitate/assist with vaccinations, in-clinic and field wound care, parasite treatments, sterilizations, and other surgical procedures.

4. A caring and patient teacher with over a decade of experience, Dr Aey is passionate about sharing her wealth of knowledge with anyone who’s willing to listen!

5. The best part about the volunteer house is that it’s just a 150 meter walk down the road from one of the best kept secrets in Hua Hin … Sai Noi Beach!

I helped out with rescue paws as part of my teaching course about three years ago. Jaco is so passionate and it is a great feeling knowing you make a difference.

I opened up google and started searching for shelters in Thailand, I came across Rescue Paws and just the next day someone sent me a Xplore Asia add to do my TESOL course, to my surprise they were one and the same and I new God had wanted me to go there without a doubt. When I first arrived I had no idea what to expec...

I spent 8 weeks at Rescue Paws and I wish I could of stayed longer! I was excited every morning to arrive at the clinic and kennels to gr...
