Laws for Paws is a special place and it's obvious how much the staff truly care about the animals. I recently adopted Betty and from the first message the support has been amazing. The adoption process was well-supported and Elizabeth has continued to be a great support even after adoption. I'm so happy I chose to adopt through them.

Laws for Paws is a truly special place. We adopted Kobe and the whole process was thoughtful and well-paced. Before committing, we were encouraged to visit multiple times to spend time with him and make sure it was the right match. Libby was incredibly supportive throughout โ she personally brought Kobe to us on adoption day and guided us through the first few days. Kobe is now part of our family.

Found our sweet girl Muc. Laws for Paws set us up for a 2-week trial with everything we could need. It's only day 2 but we are in love. They have so many lovely dogs of all sizes and temperaments โ if you're thinking about adopting, definitely give them a visit.

Adopting Sunny was one of the most heartwarming experiences of my life. The adoption process was smooth and supportive, with the team providing all the guidance I needed. Bringing her home, I knew I had made the right decision โ she quickly settled in and brought an abundance of joy and energy to my life.

Adopting Ollie is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. He used to be a stray with a severe skin infection โ rescued and treated by the Laws for Paws team. It's sad to think that without them, Ollie would still be homeless, or maybe even worse. Laws for Paws has saved the lives of hundreds of dogs.

๐ค Visiting & Volunteering
"
Whether you're a visitor just passing through or a local living here long term, this is a must-visit place for all animal lovers. I spent 1.5 hours with Elizabeth getting a birds-eye view of the rescue and learning about day-to-day operations. We walked dogs, groomed and bathed others, and spent time cuddling the puppies. If you're looking for a unique experience where you can give back, look no further than Laws for Paws.

A shelter that is run very properly, with much consideration and deliberation in mind. Super clean and peaceful environment. I love how the shelter considers the needs of various stakeholders in their operations. My rating: 11/10 โ if I come back to HCM again, I will definitely visit Laws for Paws.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Laws for Paws Vietnam. It is the cleanest shelter I have ever visited, and all the puppies are incredibly friendly โ which shows how well they are being nurtured and loved. I truly hope all these sweet pups find their forever homes soon.

My daughter started volunteering at Laws for Paws Vietnam today. Amazing opportunity to meet adorable friends. She learned so much about different breeds, their behaviours and most importantly compassion towards animals. This is going to be a wonderful learning experience for us as a family.

Pack Chats was an absolutely fantastic experience. Elizabeth, Mark from Dog Walkers Thao Dien, and the entire Laws for Paws team put so much effort into making the event both fun and informative. It's clear that Laws for Paws is making a real difference โ not just through their shelter work but by educating and engaging with the community. I can't wait for future Pack Chats.

Thanks to the team for organising the Paws to Park Charity Dog Walk. We had a fun time despite the light rain โ we joined as dog uncle and auntie and got to walk Effie and Copper. They are such wonderful sweethearts. Lots of sweet pups are looking for their forever homes โ visit their Facebook page to meet them and find your new best friend!

If it wasn't for this organisation, Olaf wouldn't have survived. We found him as a tiny puppy at the beach in very bad condition โ and Laws for Paws helped save him. We saw him transform into a happy little dog, fell in love, and they made it possible for us to adopt him and bring him to Belgium. We're forever grateful. Laws for Paws is a true inspiration.

Royce came to us as a 5-week-old pup in a very bad way โ and Laws for Paws helped save him. Four years later we adopted Narla too. From death on the streets of HCMC to living their best lives on the island of Guernsey in the UK. It's not cheap or easy to get your dogs out of Vietnam, but it is absolutely worth it. The love you get in return when your dog knows they've made it โ that's unexplainable.
