Bangkok has brought 23 dogs and cats from flooded neighbourhoods to the Prawet Dog Control Centre for temporary care, The Thaiger reported September 30, citing the city’s Veterinary Public Health Office. The animals came from Khan Na Yao, Bang Kapi and Prawet.
Who can use the shelter
The reported scheme covers animals from declared disaster areas: pets with identifiable owners and strays with regular carers who can establish where they came from. District offices and partner animal welfare groups coordinate transport. Veterinary checks and treatment are provided at the centre.
What owners and carers need
The Thaiger reports that applicants need a temporary shelter request and a copy of identification. Bring any special food or regular medication. Collection requires identification; owned dogs and cats must be microchipped and registered before release.
Contact before travelling
The published contact routes are the Prawet centre at 02 328 7460, the district environment office, BMA hotline 1555 and Traffy Fondue. Confirm current eligibility and transport arrangements before setting out. Animals are expected to return when flood conditions are safe; no fixed collection date was announced.
