Vietnam Animal Aid

Our mission is to end the suffering of all species through mass sterilization, animal rights education, and improving veterinary care across Vietnam.

We advocate for a fully vegan lifestyle & abolition of all animal use and exploitation. We are an animal rescue shelter & farm sanctuary that focuses on vegan education, ending speciesism in rescue, & the veterinary industry as we work to end the exploitation of ALL non-human animal species in Vietnam & globally. We prohibit the use of our posts and media for any purpose that would shame the Vietn

amese people. We are against animal cruelty but are aware that this is a global problem, not one that reflects the general nature of the Vietnamese people. Anyone who uses our material for racist purposes will be immediately blocked. Chúng tôi không sử dụng động vật vì bất kỳ lý do gì, bao gồm:
- đồ ăn
- quần áo
- giải trí
- nghiên cứu y học

Animal Welfare Is Not a One-Time Rescue. It’s a Lifelong Commitment.

Every day, around the world, animals are abandoned, abused, exploited, and forgotten.

In places like Vietnam, millions of animals suffer in silence. They’re born into the streets, caught in the meat trade, injured by traffic, or dumped when they’re no longer “useful.”

They don’t have a voice. They don’t have choices. But they do have us, the ones who choose to care.

Animal welfare workers, volunteers, and rescuers step in where no one else will, They stay up all night with the sick, They grieve the ones they couldn’t save. They fight every day for the lives people look away from.

But the truth is:�We can’t do it without funding.
Every rehoming, every vet visit, every bag of food, it all costs money.
And there’s never enough.

Rescue isn’t just about saving one life.
It’s about building a bridge to a future where no animal is left behind. But that bridge needs your help.
If you believe animals deserve love, safety, and a second chance, be part of their story.

Donate monthly, even a little.
Share the mission, tell your friends and family.
Foster or adopt if you can.
You don’t have to work in a shelter to change a life. You just have to care enough to act.

Donate now: www.vnanimalaid.org/donate�

What a successful day!

We caught 2 of the 4 kitties that were being sold for cat meat and brought them to their foster home! We’re going to bring over the cat trap today for the other two and hope we can get them. It feels so good to get them to safety. We’re waiting on the 4 total to send them to the vet, but we’re halfway there!

We also vaccinated all 5 kittens yesterday so they’re getting closer to being fully protected from diseases. They are such great babies and were so brave for the vet! They are ready for adoption and we’re can’t wait to see them go to new homes.

We’re still hoping for the next few days’ donations to pay down the vet bill and get us ready to do the 4 “meat” cat intakes with sterilization, vaccines, testing, and deworming, so please support these guys!

Thanks so much for the generous help over the past few days so we could order the food we need and pay a little bit into our vet bill. We can’t do any of this work alone! It takes a global community to manage the caseload we have here!

DEATH ROW FOR CATS IN VIETNAM

This is not a drill. This is their final chance. Right now, a group of cats has limited time before being sold into the cat meat trade, to end up on someone’s dinner plate.

We have fosters ready.
We have a vet willing and able, with an appointment already set.

But we don’t have the funds to get them there, to spay them, to vaccinate them, to give them a future.

This is it.
This is the moment you decide:
Are you the hero you believe you are?
Because being a hero doesn’t always look like running into fire.
Sometimes, it looks like this:
A few taps on your phone.
A small donation.
A ripple that saves a life.

These cats don’t need a miracle.
They just need you, If we don’t raise the funds in 2 days, they die.
No exaggeration. No delay. No second chances.

The Cat Meat Trade Is Still Thriving in Vietnam.

And no one is coming to stop it. An estimated 2 million cats are killed every year, snatched off there streets, caught in wire snares, crammed into cages, and shipped off to slaughter.

Right here in Hội An, every roaming cat is a target. If they’re outside, they’re at risk.
And once they’re gone, they’re gone.

The hardest part? We can’t rescue our way out of this. There are no homes waiting.

Even if we sterilized them all, there’s nowhere to move them, no place to recover, and not even the funds for a car to get them to safety.

This is the ugly truth:
Without immediate foster or adoptive homes in the city, these cats are living on borrowed time.
We know this hurts to read. It hurts to write.
But silence is a death sentence.

If you live in Hội An and have space in your home, even just to foster. Now is the time.
Because for these cats, it’s not just urgent. It’s final.

Last Chance Before Becoming Food.

Some days feel like triage.
Today, we’ve been asked to save 6 cats, one of them pregnant. They have maybe 2 days maximum left before being sold for cat meat. Yes, that’s still happening here in Asia. And yes we are the last call before they disappear.

But right now, we can’t say yes.

Not because we don’t want to. Because we can’t afford it.

Our vet bill of $300 is still unpaid, Tachi needed emergency surgery today and we have 35 animals and mother and puppies to care for. Just another day…

Food orders are overdue.
The power bill is waiting.
Our team is working on fumes, and we’re still showing up, because the animals don’t get to take a day off.

This isn’t a guilt post. It’s a reality post.
We don’t need thousands of people doing everything. We just need a few kind souls to do something.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could help,” this is the moment that counts.

Your donation right now means:
$5 can help with food,$10 goes towards the shelter and daily care, $20 can supply vet meds for an animal, $50 can help us spay and save her life

Let’s stop these cats from being sold for slaughter.

We still have 35 other rescues in need at our shelter as well as we need to pay off our $250 vet bill plus raise the $400 for the food order we are putting in super late because our funds are so low. Can you help?

We Did It! The Turtles Are Home!

Our journey will take in 2,500km of roads, we will endure rivers, rain, wild animals, questionable toilets, leeches, K-pop and one very persistent mosquito... but with their journey done, the Giant Asian Pond Turtles are finally in their new wild home!

We’re thrilled (and relieved) to say that these endangered beauties are now back where they belong in protected wetlands deep in the heart of Cát Tiên National Park.

This journey wasn’t just about getting from A to B. It was about doing the right thing and we would do it all again, just give us a few days to recover...

Thanks to the support of our community, and the cooperation of the Vietnamese government and Cát Tiên rangers, we made it happen. This is what rescue can look like: not keeping animals, but helping them return to the life they were meant to live.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. We’ll be cleaning mud out of our shoes for weeks... but it was worth every step.

This family needs YOUR help! Can we get them the care they deserve?

At the moment, mom Kelly is doing all the work and we’re just keeping her well fed and giving her space to parent, but soon, these kids will need solid food and then 3 vaccines each! That’s going to be $$$$$$!

For the next 7 weeks they’ll be living at the quarantine house and then when they get vaccinated will head over to the shelter while mama gets spayed and recovers on her own. We’re saving up starting now to ensure these guys get all they need to be cared for for the coming months.

Sponsor one of this family for $30 on our Patreon and you can name them!

Your sponsorship fee will go towards their vet bills, food, and shelter as they grow up.

We still have 35 other rescues in need at our shelter as well as we need to pay off our $250 vet bill plus raise the $400 for the food order we are putting in super late because our funds are so low. Can you help?

A Journey Worth Taking

After more than 8 months of care, planning and preparation, we are finally releasing the Giant Asian Pond Turtles into the wild.

This species is endangered and we are incredibly privileged to return them to protected waters in the south of Vietnam, where they can hopefully start the process to repopulate their species. Yes we are pimping these boys out!!!

It’s not just a release, it’s a 5-day journey across the country, with carefully packed crates, detailed care, and long hours on the road.

And every single moment… is worth it.
These turtles were never meant for concrete tanks or plastic tubs. Soon they will be in a beautiful river and we are honoured to be part of their story in helping them find a new home.

But we can’t ignore the reality: this journey is expensive. Transport, food, travel, health checks, documentation, it all adds up. We do this because it’s right.

But we ask for your help because we can’t do it alone.

If you can support this release, even in a small way, you are directly contributing to the survival of a species that desperately needs protecting.

👉 Donate: www.vnanimalaid.org/donate

Every share, every comment, every dollar — it all helps. Thank you for walking this wild road with us. For every life we return to where it belongs..

Thank You for Helping Us Help Them

Thanks to your kindness, we are able to do amazing things like rescue and treat 20 vulnerable dogs and puppies in 1 week. We have successfully managed to get them all the vet treatment they desperately needed to survive and give them the best possible start in life.

Vaccinated, protected, and given a second chance, all because you cared.

Unfortunately, as every rescuer knows, the work doesn’t stop at the rescue. These puppies still need daily care, nutritious food, clean shelter, and in the future, loving forever homes. Until that day arrives, we are their safe place and we need your support to keep doing this work.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference in their lives. Here’s what your kindness can do:

$5 cares for the puppies for 1 day
$10 buys dewormer and flea/tick prevention
$15 pays for one vaccine
$30 sponsors a puppy for a month
$100 pays for a vet trip and treatment

Your generosity fuels every step of their journey, from street to safety, from sick to strong, from alone to adopted.

Thank you for being part of their rescue story. Let’s keep going, because rescue is just the beginning.

We got them vaccinated! Hooray! This family is now at least partially protected from some of the rampant infectious diseases that plagues this region’s dogs.

Sadly, they’ll all be adopted within the village or kept to stay living at the parking lot by the docks. They’ll never get a chance at more vaccines or another vet visit in their short lives. This is the grim reality of community work. We do the best we can, but at the end of the day, the limitations mean that we cannot save them all and provide long healthy lives in great homes for so many animals in need here.

Vaccines have to be enough to call this a successful mission. They won’t let us sterilize the mom and instead want her to continue to make babies like a machine. She can easily get Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumors which is a widely spread sexually transmitted cancer here.

Since they are not protected and don’t live in a secure home, just an open parking lot, they can easily be stolen or poisoned for the meat trade. With cars, buses, and vans going nonstop through the lot to the docks, the traffic is very dangerous for them. But there isn’t anything more we can do.

We face a lot of limitations here not only with funding, but with just the way animals are treated here as easily disposable things rather than sentient beings worthy of protection. We cannot change the culture, but we can help as many individuals as we can.

Those we already rescued who live in safety in our shelter are still at risk because we have seen so few donations this week to help us pay our food order and our outstanding vet bill. These are the most basic costs and we cannot help anyone outside our gates if we aren’t able to care for the ones inside them.

We must raise another $450 for food and $200 for the vet! Please donate today!

EMERGENCY RESCUE OF A MAMA DOG AND HER 8 TEN DAY OLD BABIES! Please help!

We were alerted to this case from and offered to see what we could do. When I arrived these 7 tiny babies whose eyes aren’t even open were scattered all over the dirty market floor in the busy part of Ba Le market in Hoi An. They didn’t stand a chance in such a high traffic area for feet and motorbikes in a place with so much disease and parasites. In spite of knowing we are in such a truly horrific financial situation, I had to act quickly and try to find a way to get these guys safe immediately before looking for fosters and homes and dealing with the massive parasite infection of mama.

But make no mistake, this was not an easy decision when we are struggling to buy food for our existing rescues at the sanctuary and are drowning in debt. This is rescue though. Horrible situations arise and you make quick decisions and work out the details as you go.

So we need YOU today! Right now! Please help make sure not only we can care for these 8 new kids, but also we quickly can put in our $500 food order for the sanctuary and pay off our $332 vet clinic debt! We didn’t even get close to hitting our target budget last week and now here we are, but how on earth could I let them lay there and die and just close my eyes and walk away like every single person at that market had done? It’s not in me.

Maybe it’s irresponsible. Maybe it’s kind. Maybe it’s stupid as f***, but they’re home and safe and that’s important. That matters. That’s our mission.

How you can help!

Vietnam Animal Aid and Rescue is a vegan animal rights organization that has a rescue shelter and farm sanctuary in Hoi An, Vietnam. We are part of a growing, global, non-speciesist animal rights movement that works to protect all sentient beings. Our mission is to end the pain and suffering of all species, through mass sterilization, vaccinations, education and improving veterinary care across Vietnam. We advocate for a fully vegan lifestyle and for abolition of all animal use and exploitation.

Since 2013, we have been rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing hundreds of cats and dogs and with our previous clinic ran veterinary training, community sterilization, and mobile clinic programs. We are now opening a new mixed practice clinic in Da Nang to service all species who need us and to use as our base for mass sterilization projects and veterinary training again. We advocate for a fully vegan lifestyle and for abolition of all animal use and exploitation. We will accomplish our mission through sterilization/vaccination and building the veterinary industry of Vietnam to provide adequate health care for all species, while also educating people about the power of veganism to save animals, curb climate change, and protect human health.

We are a small charitable organisation and rely on donations from individuals such as yourself. To donate, please visit: http://vietnampetsandvets.com/donate/.
