September Fun
Welcome to the newly refreshed Happy Tails blog!
While we’ll still be celebrating the incredible journeys of our rescue dogs, we’re expanding our stories to include deeper updates on shelter life, events, education, and advocacy.
And what a perfect time to start! August was full of community spirit as everyone returned from the summer holidays, and September is shaping up to be just as exciting - with a calendar full of engaging events.
August Highlights
Bingo For Paws Event
Our very first Bingo 4 Paws event with Quan Ut Ut and Rooster Beers was the perfect way to come together after the long summer holidays! Over 40 guests joined us for an afternoon of BBQ, beers, and bingo. And more than 10 dogs, including our shelter pups Athena and Delta, came along to enjoy the fun too. The raffle kept everyone on their toes with amazing prizes up for grabs, and by the end of the day nearly 10 million VND was raised to support our work. Fun was had, prizes were won, and our dog-loving community made it a day to remember!
Volunteer Power in Action
It takes a village to raise a rescue…and wow, what a village we have!
✔️ Over 250+ adult volunteers stepped up to help care for our rescues.
✔️ Our Student program is full of enthusiastic young animal lovers learning the value of compassion.
✔️ More than 80 regular volunteers continue to show up week after week, rain or shine.
✔️ And we’ve welcomed close to 50 new joiners — a mix of locals, travelers, and expats — all eager to make a difference.
Every cuddle, every walk, every helping hand matters. Without the dedication of our incredible volunteers, we couldn’t give our dogs the love, care, and second chances they deserve.
If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the time! Message us today and come join our growing pack — together we can change lives, one wagging tail at a time.
Good Company Campaign
Our Good Company campaign brought Maddie, Mai, and the Laws for Paws Vietnam team across HCMC on International Dog Day, connecting with over 50 supporters throughout the day. We visited five incredible partner venues - including Sailing Club, Creo, Ceramic4You, PLASTIC People, and Rooster Beers - who each welcomed us with open arms (and treats!). From thoughtful conversations about adoption to plenty of tail wags, the day was filled with heart, visibility, and community spirit. Special thanks to Pawy. for dressing Mai in style and to our amazing driver, Binh Yen, who kept our crew rolling smoothly all day long.
