What we do
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rehome.
Rescue
At-risk dogs who have been abandoned, abused, or need urgent medical care, from the streets, from slaughterhouses, from impossible situations.
Rehabilitate
Veterinary care, nutrition and love to recover, physically and emotionally. A cage-free shelter gives them space to heal at their own pace.
Rehome
A careful adoption process matches every dog with the right family, in Vietnam and internationally, with support every step of the way.
Annual impact reports
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do
Every year we publish a full summary of our work, our impact, and how donations are put to use. In 2025 we rescued 60 dogs, rehomed 51, expanded our veterinary outreach and delivered 59 education visits.
Veterinary outreach
Taking care to where it's needed most
Con Dao Island has limited veterinary resources. In partnership with Six Senses Con Dao, our outreach program brings vaccinations and sterilisations to the island's dogs and cats and helps manage stray populations humanely. Three visits so far, and we're committed to returning.

What our community says
“Easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. If it wasn't for the volunteers at Laws for Paws, Ollie would still be homeless, or worse.”
“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.”
“The cleanest shelter I have ever visited, and all the puppies are incredibly friendly, which shows how well they are being nurtured and loved.”
