Join Green Source DFW for Happy Hour and get to know other local greenies. First round of drinks and light appetizers on us. 

The Irving-based online radio show hosts Marcelo Cacciola, the Miami-based communications director for the Soi Dog Foundation, a nonprofit based in Phuket, Thailand. The organization was founded by a couple of English tourists who were so shocked by the massive stray dog problem in Phuket that they decided to partner with a fellow expatriate to open spay/neuter clinics throughout the region.

The group has since spayed and neutered more 51,000 dogs and cats in both Phuket and Bangkok and have expanded their mission to include an extensive lobbying effort against the illegal dog meat trade that plagues the Thai-Vietnamese border.

The Irving-based online radio show hosts Nancy Cu Unjieng, president of CARA Welfare Philippines, runs spay/neuter clinics as well as a sanctuary/shelter for stray dogs and cats in the Philippines. CARA Welfare was also involved in what’s believed to be the largest dogfighting raid in the world.
