Pariah Dog Koh Samui

About us: Upon moving to Koh Samui, Russian Vet Elena Kireeva and her partner Stefan Koenig were immediately struck at the large number of stray and neglected dogs on the island, and their number grew daily due to the lack of sterilization on the island.

Many of these animals had been abandoned by owners without sterilisation and as such, the number of stray dogs was growing every year.

Elena and Stefan decided to start a small charity called Pariah Dog Koh Samui in 2016, with the purpose of relieving the suffering, starvation, abuse and neglect of Koh Samui street dogs by providing medical care, sterilization, vaccination and care.

With no corporate funding, Pariah Dog relies on donations, support and the generosity of the global community to continue their life-saving work.

Our Mission:

•To provide medical care, treatment and rehabilitation to suffering, abused and abandoned starving street dogs.

•To adopt dogs into loving homes where possible and to provide a life-long safe sanctuary for unadoptable dogs.

•To relieve suffering, starvation, abuse and neglect of the street dogs in Koh Samui.

•To sterilize dogs and cats on Koh Samui to reduce the suffering caused by unwanted puppies and kittens.
