Based on the latest information, he says they've rescued hundreds of dogs since floods began to hit the outskirts of Bangkok in the last week to two weeks.
"Large scale evacuations of people are currently occurring in the worst affected areas of the Bangkok area," he says, adding that because they're typically not allowed to take their pets, these animals as well as thousands of strays left behind need help.
"Soi Dog Foundation is working with groups in the Bangkok area to rescue these animals. These groups are not large animal welfare agencies but rather smaller groups working around the clock to save the dogs and cats before it is to late."
To rescue the animals, Cacciola says teams of volunteers simply travel through the flood hit zones by boat and pick up any animals they find that have been abandoned.

"There were also dogs abandoned to die during flooding at a puppy mill in Bangkok," he says.
"Fortunately the rescue team was able to save them. The dogs are now safe but the number of dogs now being cared for is reaching crisis proportions."
To assist these animals, Soi Dog Foundation is helping to raise funds for rescuers in Bangkok who need support. To help visit: www.soidog.org/en/flood-relief.
Cacciola says all funds raised go directly in aid of the animal victims of the floods.
Besides donating money, both veterinarian and non-vet personnel can join the Bangkok animal relief efforts.
