We are looking for Sanctuary Volunteers to help our small team with the day-to-day running of the sanctuary and to care for our resident dogs and cats. This includes walking dogs, cleaning pens, socializing our animals as well as helping the resident Vet at our on-site clinic. Baan Unrak is an animal sanctuary and clinic based in Sangkhlaburi, North Western Thailand, close to the border with Myanmar.
Thai Animal Sanctuary is a donation based non governmental organisation working for the welfare and protection of animals in Sangkhlaburi, Western Thailand, near the Burmese border.
Thai Animal Sanctuary serves as both a shelter and a free veterinary clinic for the local domestic and street animal populations.

Each day at Baan Unrak is different, as we always have new patients coming into the clinic and some require more care than others! We have around 50 resident dogs and we conduct regular sterilisation and vaccination programs to humanely control the population of dogs and cats and help reduce the levels of disease in the area.
Working hours:
8am - 12pm
2pm - 5pm
Sanctuary Volunteers generally work 6 days per week, with one day off. Everyday roles for Sanctuary Volunteers include:
AM
walking resident dogs
feeding resident dogs
cleaning resident dog pens
cleaning pens in clinic
laundry
helping resident vet with medical rounds
PM
feeding resident cats
socialising with animals (including grooming, bathing, extra walks, playing)
helping with general chores
We have a Volunteer House which includes a basic kitchen (with kettle, fridge/freezer & gas hobs), cold water bathroom with shower and Western-style toilet and can house up to 12 volunteers. Rooms are single or shared depending on availability, and there is free Wifi at both the house and the sanctuary/clinic. The fee for the volunteer house is €3.00/day. Alternative accommodation is available in town (with hot water and air conditioning), please contact us at for more information and help with bookings.
Meals NOT included (*during term time, free vegetarian meals are provided in the school next to the sanctuary Monday to Friday). Many of our volunteers choose to cook at home at the volunteer house, otherwise there are many small inexpensive restaurants and markets around town where you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bangoka International Airport (FKI)
Buses and minivans are available from Bangkok to Sangkhlaburi, usually with a stop in Kanchanaburi. Please contact us for updated bus times and and/or help with booking.
Males & Females welcome
Couples accommodated
Families NOT accommodated
Pets NOT allowed
Volunteering at Baan Unrak is a unique and rewarding experience, as we work with limited resources in a relatively isolated area. Volunteers are expected to be resourceful and take initiative, and will learn vital skills in animal husbandry. Those who are interested in the veterinary side of things will get the opportunity to observe and assist our resident Vet with unusual cases in our clinic.
Surrounded by lakes and jungle, there are many beautiful sites to see on your days off such as the famous Mon Bridge, the local nature reserve, waterfalls, temples, hot springs and more.
Please make sure to double check your dates before booking, and let us know in advance if you will not be able to join us or your plans change. This is very important! We are a small team and rely on our Sanctuary Volunteers, so unexpected cancellations and no-shows affect the day-to-day running of the sanctuary
