Help save the animals

There are so many incredible animals and creatures that make up this beautiful planet that we call Earth, yet they don't always get the love and respect that they deserve! 

I am beyond excited to share with you all that Ryelegance has officially partnered with TMTRD!!
Not only is this organization near and dear to my heart, but they are one of the most impactful organizations I have ever come across! 
Facilitating over 600 dogs, and maintaining the health, wellbeing, and safety of over 350 strays, they are tirelessly working around the clock to ensure these animals have the BEST OF THE BEST care! 
From spays and neuters to severe neglect, abuse, and desertion, this team bends over backwards to help animals in need! 

Ryelegance donates 5% of all proceeds to the TMTRD, 
so thank you for your generous contribution! 
Should you want to learn more about this incredible organization, find out how to volunteer, or donate, please follow the links at the bottom of the page. 

Peace & Love.

The Man That Rescues Dogs

"My name is Michael Baines, 53 years old, and I am the president and co-Founder of The Man That Rescues Dogs.

Been living and working in Thailand since 2002, chef by profession and now a dog rescuer full time.


What started with one dog in 2011 has now grown to what we are today. At the moment, we have 950 dogs in our care.

600 dogs lives in our shelter and 350 are fed and monitored on the streets.


In 2017, we took over the local dog pound of 150 sqm, where 100 dogs where fighting to survive. Today, we have an area of 4500 sqm, including bridges, concrete counters, roofing, trees and 3 pools. We are currently expanding the area another 5000 sqm to facilitate and rescue more dogs. When it's all said and done, our place will be around 10 000 sqm.


31 of our dogs are paralyzed and all have their own wheelchair. They live with around 35 other special need dogs in our care unit. Staff monitor and take care of these dogs around the clock. 


We have 36 staff members, 3 of which are veterinarians and 2 vet assistants, who manage our free of charge clinic, where we treat animals on a daily basis and perform daily spays and neuters. We are currently expanding to become a fully equipped animal hospital, however, we can currently treat around 15-20 animals a day, depending on the severity. In the future when the hospital is ready, we can treat even more, and it will still be free of charge.


We have 4 construction staff who are improving and expanding the facility. 3 Admins who answer messages, find homes for the dogs we have, coordinate rescues and do bookkeeping and HR work. We also have 26 care takers who clean, prepare food, feed, walk, and socialize with the dogs. They are also responsible for taking care of our quarantined dogs, newly arrived dogs, who need to be isolated until they are fully vaccinate, spayed / neutered.


All of this is funded by donations from around the world. We spend around $1,250 USD per day, $38,000 USD per month.”
