About Lanta Animal Welfare
Lanta Animal Welfare (LAW) is a charity organization. LAW’s role is to relieve the suffering and pain of the animals on Koh Lanta Island, in the south east of Thailand.
♥ LAW gives vital, life-saving treatments to sick and injured stray animals
♥ LAW keeps the population of stray animals on the island down by means of humane spaying and neutering programs.
♥ LAW conducts rabies vaccination programs.
♥ LAW helps pets too!
Junie Kovacs, the owner and creator of the Time for Lime concept (2002), is also the founder of Lanta Animal Welfare (2005). All profit from Time for Lime goes to Lanta Animal Welfare.
In 2005, during the construction boom after the tsunami, workers from all over Thailand came to help rebuild what had been destroyed. Many brought their dogs, and when the building was complete they left them behind. Tourists took pity over the dogs and began feeding them. This resulted in a high survival and reproduction rate causing a completely different kind of boom. That of starvation, disease, abuse and injuries. Something had to be done…
