September Shelter Stories
This month at the shelter has been filled with new beginnings, important medical milestones, and heartwarming steps toward forever homes. From welcoming new dogs into our care, to celebrating vaccinations, sterilizations, and successful surgeries, to cheering on those starting trial adoptions, there’s so much to share. Join us for a glimpse into September’s highlights through stories and photos from the shelter.
Welcome to the Pack
We’ve welcomed 8 adorable new faces to the Laws for Paws pack: Starsky, Hutch, Ivy, Grace, Skye, Comet, Maddi, and Cooper! Each one is already full of charm and personality, bringing plenty of love (and a little mischief) to the shelter.
They’re settling in beautifully and winning hearts fast — and you can meet them too! Join one of our volunteer walks, running Tuesday to Sunday.
Medical Milestones
August and September have been busy months with 8 dogs having started their full course of care, including multi-disease and rabies vaccinations, tick and flea treatment, dewormer, and blood work to ensure they are healthy and disease free. This essential care costs upwards of 2,200,000 VND per dog, and with vaccines still underway, these expenses continue to rise.
Behind every healthy dog is planning, care, and community support. Thanks to our community and your donations, we can keep every pup safe and give them the best possible start.

New Beginnings & Forever Homes
After a quiet mid-year, things have truly picked up and our hearts are full. Over the past two months, 11 of our amazing dogs have found their forever families. Saying goodbye is never easy, but seeing them walk out the door with wagging tails and happy hearts makes every moment worthwhile. Two of our dogs even got to start brand new lives overseas, reminding us that love knows no borders.
We’re also cheering on Tiki, Boba, and Starsky as they begin their trial adoptions. Trial adoptions give pups and families a special chance to spend time together, bond, and discover if it’s the perfect forever fit. We’re hopeful that each of them is just steps away from finding their happily-ever-after.
Meet Gabbi
Gabbi is one of those rare souls who seems to have it all. At just under a year old, she’s the perfect balance of playful energy and calm companionship. She loves being close to people, whether it’s snuggling up for affection or chasing a toy across the floor, yet she’s just as content curling up in her crate for a long, peaceful nap.
She is, in every way, an all-round perfect dog — which is why it breaks our hearts that she hasn’t received a single adoption request. Gabbi deserves more than a place in the shelter; she deserves a family to call her own, a place where her loyalty and love can shine every day.
We would love nothing more than to see Gabbi finally find the forever family she’s been waiting for.
