“Our mission is to empower our community to improve the lives of sick and abandoned dogs by raising the standards of animal welfare through our outreach programs.”

Our mission to rescue abandoned and sick Thai dogs began in 2003 under the name of Hua Hin Dog Rescue. After six years of being moved from one location to another, we finally relocated to Bang Saphan and our name was changed to Headrock Dogs Rescue.

In 2009 husband and wife team Verity and Thep took over. Since then we've been working tirelessly to raise the standard of animal welfare in Bang Saphan and beyond. Rescue, sterilization, treatment and adoption of sick and injured dogs and puppies, together with feeding programs at local temples, are all vital components of our mission.​

We cover a huge area, almost 900kms between Bang Saphan and the Myanmar border, with an estimated 100,000 stray animals throughout the region. Animal welfare is scant and little government support is provided for neutering and vaccinations. This makes our work critical.
