Kem
Kem’s story is one of resilience, kindness, and the incredible power of community. Living in a compound in District 2, Kem was a loyal companion to a security guard. However, stationed at the entry and exit point of the bustling area, his safety was always at risk. Sadly, the dangers of his environment caught up with him when Kem was hit by a car. His leg sustained broken bones and ligament damage, a heartbreaking yet all-too-common scenario for dogs in Vietnam.
Thankfully, residents of the compound who had grown fond of Kem noticed his injury and sprang into action. These kind hearted individuals, who were previous adopters of Laws for Paws Vietnam dogs, took Kem to a clinic for urgent care. After surgery to repair his leg, they worked tirelessly to convince the security guard to surrender Kem so he could have a chance at a safer and more loving life.
Once under our care, Kem’s infectious personality immediately began to shine. This happy boy became a favorite of both our student and adult volunteers, lighting up the shelter with his radiant smile and playful energy. It wasn’t long before the perfect family came along. They fell in love with Kem’s incredible spirit and welcomed him into their home, giving him the second chance he so deserved.
Today, Kem is living his best life with his forever family, enjoying the safety, love, and companionship he’s always deserved. We are thrilled to see him thriving and even more delighted to spot him at our Paws to Park charity dog walks, where his big smile and wagging tail brighten everyone’s day.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our former adopters who rescued Kem, our dedicated vet team who saved his leg and life, and Kem’s amazing new family for opening their hearts and home to him. Stories like Kem’s remind us why we do what we do—to create happy endings for deserving dogs like him.
