The Foundation takes its name from two dogs - Noi & Star rescued from the island of Koh Tao, Thailand. In 2002 the Foundation helped to fund a temporary clinic on the island, run by veterinarian Beata Chodakowska. In July 2004 we opened the first permanent vet clinic on the island and have to date treated over 5,000 animals. On Koh Tao there is no RSPC, no PDSA, no animal's shelters, no sanctuaries, and before our clinic virtually no medical care of any kind for the animal population. Ravaged by mange, hungry and often abused, many of them didn't survive. With your help we are changing this.
