Joey's story is one that truly tugs at the heartstrings. Found on the scorching streets of Mui Ne, Vietnam, Joey was abandoned in a black plastic bag in front of a garbage bin. He was overheated, lethargic, and heavily infested with worms, ticks (over 500!), and fleas. Joey required immediate care, and thanks to the love and dedication of rescuers, his transformation began.

Rescued by compassionate tourists, Joey found safety and care at the Laws For Paws Vietnam shelter. With dedicated veterinary attention and help from our team, Joey's true personality quickly emerged with every passing day. He captivated everyone around him with his resilience and sweet nature. It’s no surprise that this wonderful boy soon found his forever family.

Joey has been adopted by a wonderful Vietnamese family who are long-time animal lovers. Now living his happiest life in Vung Tau, Joey spends his days riding in a basket on the bicycle down to the beach for sunrise and sunset walks. This caring family decided to adopt Joey for their father, who was struggling with the loss of his previous dogs due to old age.

Joey has not only been given a loving home, but he has also helped heal a broken heart and brings joy to his new family every day.

Joey's journey from the streets to a loving home is a testament to the power of love and dedication.
