| In Thailand,there are no wide-spread programs for spaying and neutering to control the number of dogs and cats that are born homeless. Unfortunately, this gives these animals little chance of a life without suffering in some form. There are no vacination programs for the prevention of rabies and other animal diseases. If a dog or cat is born homeless, its chances of survival are slim.

| Kayson's Safe Haven cannot solve the problem, but we can save many of these animals by giving them love, shelter and food. Kayson's Safe Haven has devoted a special area of its property in Thailand to provide a home in which to care for these poor animals. |

In June, 2009 National Geographic reported the following: "Thailand's capital city of Bangkok is struggling to cope with a growing population of stray dogs. It's estimated as many as 300,000 strays wander the streets." There are similar problems in the United States, but the problem is exasperated in Thailand due to fewer charities and government programs to provide spaying and neutering programs, as well as shelters that promote adoption. Also, unlike the United States, family-owned pets are frequently not spayed or neutered because of the expense and low income levels.
The area of Roi Et, where Kayson's Safe Haven is located, has fewer strays but experiences a proportionally similar problem. The local monks and kind-hearted people living in the area, often go out of their way to feed the animals, but it cannot keep pace with the birth rate. Spaying and neutering is a rare act, even for those animals being claimed as personal pets.
In the larger cities, like Bangkok, there are charities like The Soi Cats and Dogs Foundation working actively to reduce the number of stray animals. They work in target neighborhoods and encourage whole communities to become involved in their Animal Birth Control projects. Community cats and dogs are taken to SCAD's health centers and sterilized, vaccinated against rabies and treated for injury or disease. They are then returned to their home territory.
On a much smaller scale, Kayson Safe Haven is providing a home for as many of the animals that its facility can support. The animals are fed daily and are taken to the veterinarian for rabies shots, spaying and neutering.
