Soi Dog Foundation Land AppealIn late 2007, SDF was asked to vacate the Government dog pound and find premises of its own. With the help of Dr. Suchon they were able to move to Mai Khao and build a shelter, clinic, and education center there at a cost of nearly 5 million baht. The land was acquired on a 5 year lease for which they pay rent, which increases each year. They told Andaman News that they are of course always conscious that not owning the land they could find themselves again without premises at the end of the lease. To this end they have made approaches to the landlord regarding the purchase of the land and have come to an agreement whereby SDF could buy part of the land (approx 4.375 rai) at a negotiated price of 7.6 million baht. This section of the land comprises all of the main dog runs, the treatment block, and food store and laundry. The remainder of the land which comprises the staff accommodation, clinic, puppy and old and weak dogs run and education center could still be rented over an extended term for approximately 100,000 baht per year, with an option to buy should circumstances change. They are therefore now appealing to their supporters generosity to help raise the 7.6 million baht by buying one or more square metres. The area of land is approx. 7000 square meters and they asking if supporters would purchase one or more square meters. Each square meter will cost 1,085 baht.
