The origin
“I remember thinking: Who is going to help them?”
— Kae, on the 2011 floods.
The concept
More than
a rescue.
A foundation that treats, rehomes, educates and advocates — for animals who can't ask for help themselves.

The pushback
“I never believed compassion had to be a competition.”
— Kae, on being asked why animals, when people need help too.
The reality
Love alone
is not enough.
“An animal welfare organization also needs discipline, sustainability, good management and people who are willing to stay for the long journey.”
— Kae
The one in front of you
“Animal welfare has taught me that you cannot save everyone, but that is never a reason to stop saving the one standing in front of you.”
— Kae
A lifetime with dogs
Eight dogs.
Every name starts with P.
Pungpond, Pookpui, Pooppup, PomPom, Pepper, Por Pia, Poppy, Phantom. One of them adopted. “And when you are ready, please consider adoption.”
What dog-friendly means
“It is not simply ‘dogs are welcome.’ It is ‘we know how to live well together.’”
— Kae, on what dog-friendly actually means.
The vision
“We may never be able to rescue every animal ourselves, but we can create a world where fewer animals need rescuing.”
— Kae, on where this all leads.
