Celebrating Unsung Heroes This National Pet Month: Patee

🐾 This National Pet Month, we’re honoring a man with little—but who gives stray dogs everything.

In rural Thailand, Patee cares for over 50 dogs who have no one else. He doesn’t have much money or access to veterinary care, but he has a heart big enough to take them all in.

When LSTSI met Patee, we stepped in with the tools he didn’t have—vaccines, parasite treatment, and spay/neuter services. Six months ago, Patee rescued a litter sick with parvo. Thanks to his love, with our help, one pup survived.

Her name is Dok Mai—“Flower” in Thai. And today, she’s thriving.

💛 This National Pet Month, let’s celebrate the people who love the forgotten dogs—and help them keep those tails wagging.
