For the sake of peace, Ms Tharinee separates cats from dogs completely
The front yard is occupied by more than 20 large, healthy dogs who run around wagging their tails cheerfully. The seriously ill and injured animals rest inside the building for special treatment or are under the care of vets at clinics.
As well as being hard work, it gets expensive. The not-for-profit shelter is run mostly on Ms Tharinee’s money, although she receives occasional donations from generous supporters.
