Today, Soi Dog’s spay and neuter program, CNVR (Catch, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return), is at the forefront of its operations in Thailand and is aiming to reduce the number of animals born into a life of suffering and abuse or neglect, eliminate rabies and stop the spread of other infectious diseases among dogs and cats, both domesticated and non-domesticated, benefiting both animal and human communities.

Soi Dog's presence on Phuket, and the implementation of the CNVR program there, has seen the stray dog population reduced by over 90% in 19 years and has been a significant contributory factor in the island reporting only 1 confirmed case of canine rabies since 1995.

Soi Dog has carried out spay/neuter and vaccination in various locations around the country and is also committed to a long-term program of CNVR in Bangkok,where there are hundreds of thousands of street dogs, and has expanded to eight mobile teams within Thailand’s capital city. They have expanded to 19 mobile clinics enabling their reach to grow.
