Michael Baines is a Swedish national living in Bangsaen, Thailand.  Over the past 7 years, he has tirelessly dedicated his life to helping Thai street dogs in his local province.  Through his amazing work he is helping to raise the consciousness of the Thai people...a culture where dogs are regularly beaten, burned and eaten. He is also raising awareness around the globe about the plight of these lovely creatures. 

You have probably seen him in action on the internet having been featured on the Dodo and Animal Bible multiple times.  His work has been appreciated and seen by millions of people worldwide!  His days are long; he spends 14+ hours a day, seven days a week, feeding and caring for the lowly "Soi Dogs" of Thailand.  He used to run a restaurant there, but now has dedicated his time completely to feeding, spaying, neutering and caring for hundreds of dogs...getting them medical attention, housing them, rehabilitating them, and finding loving homes for them. 

 Ceaselessly, everyday, three times a day, he feeds over 100 street dogs.  He runs a foster home where 30 to 40 dogs that are recovering from injuries and illness are given 24/7 care. He has another 200 dogs under his care at the local shelter that he has completely taken over, revamped and modernized. He has taken it from a place of utter filth and misery and turned it into a happy and safe sanctuary for dogs.  Michael's unwavering devotion to the abused and neglected dogs of Thailand is truly awe inspiring! 

Please come and offer your support for the wonderful work this man is single-handedly taking on in his adopted country of Thailand!
