Effie’s story began with a compassionate French family who rescued her as a wandering puppy near their compound. They provided her with comprehensive care, including training, vaccinations, and sterilization. Determined to find Effie a loving home, they connected with the local community and thought they found the perfect match: a family in a villa with a spacious garden, children, and existing pets.

Despite the rescuers efforts and regular check-ins, it seemed that Effie was struggling to integrate with the adopters dog. Concerned but committed to Effie’s well-being, her rescuers enlisted the help of a trainer to help ease the transition. While we may not truly know why, it became evident that Effie was struggling in her new environment.

Months later, with a new baby on the way, the family faced challenges balancing Effie’s needs with those of their growing family and pets. Concerned about her ability to adjust, the father reached out to Laws for Paws Vietnam to surrender Effie. They described her as aggressive and difficult on a leash, but since arriving at our shelter, this has not been our experience with Effie. Given some time to settle in, Effie has proved to be the sweetest and most loyal girl. She walks beautifully on a leash, enjoying outings with our volunteers, and she is friendly with everyone she meets, including other dogs. If you’re seeking a devoted and well-adjusted companion who loves walks and cuddles, Effie could be the perfect addition to your home.
