Amandine is one of the co-founders of Care for Dogs. What makes these most intrepid of rescuers tick? Is it a passion for red-tape and astronomical odds, or is there more to it? The following is an interview with Amandine Lecesne. Indeed, I wanted to get a peek inside the mind of one of those extraordinary folks who boldly go where even the most foolhardy rescuers have never gone before – establishing a rescue from the ground up. As a result of the gifts they have given to both me and to the animals of Northern, Thailand, I wanted to learn more. I am eagerly counting the days until I can return and do much more. Within their shelter walls I have whiled away hours socializing dogs one day, then the next day, I’ve escaped to spectacular gold-covered, Buddhist temples (wats) to help capture dogs for their spay/neuter program. This summer marks the third anniversary of Care for Dogs in Chiangmai, Thailand, my favorite place to volunteer. Not to mention that serial volunteers, such as myself, would be without opportunities to help, at least without diving head on into founding an organization ourselves. Yet without brave souls willing to take on such a task countless more animals in the world would suffer. Founding a rescue in a foreign country filled with unfamiliar regulations and different cultural perception towards animals is downright intimidating, at least to almost any rational thinking human being. Founding any animal rescue is not for the faint of heart. ![]()
