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:

Nugget has broken out of the clinic and is in our new second house for recovery! He’s loving life in freedom. Given that he’s going to be sleeping in my bed, he needed a bit of a makeover, so he got shaved down and scrubbed hard. We’re starting fresh with a new life. His blood transfusion from Kelly last week saved his life, but we suspect an autoimmune disease that we’re treating with steroids potentially long term and he’s back on doxy too. He really can’t ever go back to his life at the docks where his owner “loved” him but really gave him the bare minimum. He needs specialized care and frequent monitoring by the vets. Nugget’s got a long recovery and a ton of weight to gain plus new fluff now.

There are many people who have animals here that just do not go beyond feeding scraps. No vet care. No deworming. No vaccines. No sterilization. If the animal gets sick or injured they do nothing and just wait for them to slowly die in pain.. They are basically ornamental. That’s been true for every rescue we’ve done this month and it’s filling us with rage. Humanity is so deeply broken.

Our food bills have DOUBLED this month and we simply cannot go on like this. We’re really struggling to keep up with the pace of nonstop rescues and medical cases along with our many growing puppies eating more and more every day. Please donate today to support our vital work in this community!

This is horrific. Another case of severe neglect and cruelty. Another day in rescue in Vietnam.

We were alerted to this dog from an expat who had seen him in the neighborhood limping. The initial assumption was a traffic accident, but his story is much more sinister. A group of us tried to catch him to no avail, and eventually trapped him in his HUMAN TRASH owner’s garden and got him into a box and into the car.

Until he escaped when we got to the shelter to switch to a bigger, stronger crate….

We chased him again in the neighborhood until we had to give up in the rain waiting for the storm. He was out in the shrimp farms and impossible to trap there.

Roz caught him this morning though and got a bite, but we got him to the vet. He’s a mess- none related to any traffic accident. All old injuries.

Severe bone infection in 3 of 5 front left toes, 1 hind right toe.

Massive festering wound on his neck. That’s the gory photos. Old wound never treated. No idea the origin.

Two blood parasites: anaplasma and e. Canis.

Very weak, hungry, dehydrated, sad, and in so much pain. Prolonged pain.

Likely front left leg amputation and hind toe amputation. Long term wound management on neck and potentially skin flap.

LONG hospitalization. He’s skinny and will be loaded with antibiotics and pain relief. It’ll get better now, but he’s been through hell. Just around 2 years old.

We named him Speedy Gonzales because he’s the fastest dog alive on 2 good legs.

This is going to be a big bill, long recovery, a lot of work. Please donate today!

While it’s not appropriate to ever make fun of anyone’s physical oddities, Bruno has HUGE balls. Hanging, saggy balls. As a 5 year old dog, we don’t see that this much. Because they hang so low like the swinging of a pendulum on a grandfather clock, he had to have the whole sc***um removed when he got neutered today. Bye bye big balls.

Bruno also has 7 toes on his back feet. Very weird. He’s a super sweet man and we can’t wait to see what he’ll look like with an extra 10kg on him, some muscle, and a lot more fur. The horrific treatment he endured for years has aged him horribly and we just hope to give him back those years he lost to hopelessness on a chain.

He’s slowly improving, but has a long way to go. We’re happy he’s been healthy enough to be neutered and vaccinated and is now headed home after he recuperates to meet all his shelter buddies.

Thank you so much to our supporters who give us the opportunity to change lives like Bruno’s.

Please donate today to our ongoing rescue and relief work!

Today was a very busy day with 2 trips up to the vet and back with 5 dogs! We need your support for this volume of rescue work!

Nugget the poodle at the docks was looking poorly as I we brought him for a full work up. He was in an awful state and needed a blood transfusion so we had to hurry back to grab Kelly as a donor and luckily she was a match! We’re waiting to see how he does tomorrow.

Pugsly the pug rescued from the flooded island had to leave foster so we brought him for full intake. Glad we did quickly because he’s got blood parasites and can’t yet be vaccinated. He’s gone to another foster now with meds.

Bobby the docks puppy needed his next vaccine and needed to get out before the typhoon. He’s also in foster now.

Do, the flood evacuee we rescued from the floating beer crate, is home at the shelter and doing well, but he’s got to quickly get neutered so he leaves our girls alone!

Kyra the mama dog and puppies near old town is doing great with healthy babies. Once this typhoon is over and we’ve recovered, we’ve got to get started on sterilizing that pack there and also a few other spots that immediately need to be TNR’d.

Right now we are struggling. We’re in the middle of trying to gather the funds and supplies for 500 medical kits for the government to distribute to families in villages nearby as they’ve asked us to help with. We need funds for that plus we desperately need shelter funds! Both are vital! Animal and Disaster relief operations are ongoing and need your help! We have just 4 days before the typhoon hits! Please help!

Animals in need are everywhere right now, which is a strange thing to consider given that there’s still on an average day a horrific number of cases in the community to address. These historic floods have altered the types of cases as many animals have been abandoned, are trapped, or are injured, but this is just highlighting the general hell animals experience here which we must manage 365 days a year.

We were sent to help 4 animals today, none of which we managed to find! However, we did get around 400kg of dog and cat food distributed to needy animals! That’s no small feat!

This morning we were able to donate 20 mil VND ($760 USD) to villages for cash distribution to the most needy families.

We also were able to focus on medical supply shopping and starting distribution to public health centers that are addressing the medical needs of the communities. While flood waters are receding, that water and mud are full of trash and human and animal waste, so skin infections are becoming a huge problem! Also we’re expecting the usual diseases post flood to begin to pop up: leptospirosis, Hepatitis A and E, Typhoid, Cholera, and dysentery along with bacterial and fungal infections in both humans and animals. Parasites are loving this disaster too so we’ve got meds to address that in all species.

More rain is coming and a typhoon should hit by next Friday. We’re hoping to get as much cleaned up and prepared prior to the storm’s arrival.

WE NEED FUNDS!!! None of this is free! Please donate today and if you would like to donate specifically to disaster relief, please write that in the note.

Today has been nonstop with rescue and disaster relief thanks to our incredible donors. Here’s the highlights:

We saved a pug from mud on the island and got him into a foster.

We got morbidly obese and arthritic Moon from the beach to the vet to get a full checkup and seek pain relief to aid in weight loss.

Aid shopping and distribution continued in full force today with an army of amazing helpers, coordinators, shippers, shoppers, fundraisers, and distributors. We are focusing on medical aid now are working on finding the best locations for goods distribution and financial aid.

We got an army of Buddhists at the pagoda to make 300 hot meals of vegan chicken rice that we distributed to the public hospital in Dien Ban which was badly affected by the floods. It was a desperate scene.

We bought 115 ten kilo bags for rice for distribution to an entire village of families in Go Noi district. That’s a ton of people who aren’t going hungry tonight.

Teams of volunteers are still raising money, shopping and distributing while the water goes down and a massive cleanup operation begins. Medical needs and financial aid along with coordination with government agencies will make this go much smoother we hope, but we need funds!

Not only does our relief work need money, but our shelter does too! Our two flood refugee dogs plus 9 refugee cats all need care plus we’ve got ongoing community cases we care for in addition to our 45 sanctuary animals!

Please donate today in this extremely important time! To send specifically to disaster relief, please write that in the note. So far we have raised around $2500 for relief and we’re just getting started as this is our hurricane Katrina. Please help the animals and the people!

We continue to need a LOT of funds for relief! This is a devastating and desperate situation where many lives are being lost and the clock is ticking for people with no access to water, food, power, and medicine. Animals are often abandoned as well and as a result of the police not letting us in boats, we can’t grab them. Our flood survivor dog from yesterday is doing great right now and while he’s got a high white blood cell count, he is otherwise ok but staying for observation for a few days at the clinic. Bruno who was saved in just the nick of time before his entire island was completely underwater is also doing very well and we are trying to get him into boarding in a few days as we can’t quarantine him here.

THANK YOU all for supporting this community we’ve been a part of for 13 years in our most tragic moment. Vietnam will be fine but right now there’s so much suffering.

We need donations for BOTH the shelter and relief operations, so if you want to donate to relief, please write the note “disaster relief” on your payment.

Relief underway! The disaster here is the worst in 80 years and only getting worse! We’ve purchased hundreds of dollars in emergency relief including bread, diapers, soy milk, sanitary napkins, and vegan sausages for distribution along with tons of bottled water.

We also managed to rescue a dog floating in a beer crate from chest deep flood waters and bring him home after bribing a boat to get me past the police to the very sketchy high waters near old town where the current is insane and hundreds of people and animals are trapped awaiting rescue and aid. We could only save one life today but we’ll try to get more vulnerable beings out tomorrow. The waters continue to rise. The current continues to be unsafe. Whole villages are trapped on roofs and isolated while the military struggles to reach them due to the dangerous currents. This is a hellscape.

We need your help! We are working to buy more supplies for distribution to as many needy families as possible to at limit casualties!

Please donate today to our PayPal.me/vietnamanimalaid with the note “disaster relief” so we can go shopping again in the morning to distribute aid. We’ve been part of this community for 13 years and we have to save as many people and animals as possible.

Please help Vietnam! We’re doing our best to help but we do not have the funds for this!

I wish it would stop shocking me how cruel people can be. After 12 and half years here, you’d think we would see progress, some kind of compassion seeping into society rather than apathy in the face of suffering. Compassion is the exception, not the rule.

Bruno here is living on a chain under a pile of rubbish on the side of the road. He’s clearly malnourished and his skin is horrific. His owners when confronted acted like they cared but in spite of living in a large 3 story house, their first question was whether it would be free if we took him to the vet. It’s hard to have patience with people who can clearly afford vet care but choose to do nothing for their suffering animals.

We got them to let us take him to the vet and we’re hoping they’ll surrender him to us. To return him to that hell hole would break us. We have absolutely nowhere to put him though and are desperate for fosters or boarding.

We won’t be able to update on his condition until tomorrow when all tests come back. Needless to say, we’ll do everything in our power to get this sweet man well and fat and keep him safe and not living the rest of his life in a dump on a chain.

His costs are going to add up very quickly and we need YOUR help!

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/.
