Paws Rescue Diaries:

July 2025

Welcome to this month’s edition of our Rescue Diaries!
In this post, we’re sharing heartwarming stories from the frontlines of our mission—featuring rescued animals, incredible transformations, and updates on our ongoing projects.

We’ll highlight our newest rescues, progress in foster care, and the impact of your support in making these stories possible. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

Meet our newest rescues

Meet Daisy and Daffodil

This adorable mom and daughter duo came to PAWS thanks to a kind-hearted rescuer who had been trying to help the mom, Daisy, for some time. Sadly, her previous owner was unable to provide the care she needed.

Daisy was suffering from a tick-borne disease and had lost all her puppies except little Daffie

Both were suffering from skin issues.

After some time in our quarantine area receiving treatment, they joined foster families who have helped them feel safe, confident, and loved. Fostering play a vital role in helping rescues like Daisy and Daffie prepare for their forever homes

If you’re interested in adopting Daisy or Daffie, please get in touch!

If adoption isn’t an option right now, you can still make a big difference by sponsoring them.
Sponsors receive regular updates on their progress and journey as they grow stronger each day.

Let’s give this brave little duo the happy ending they truly deserve.

Adopted & Loved

Madiba’s Wait is Over — He’s Adopted!

While every adoption brings us joy, some feel extra special, and Madiba’s is one of those.

His story began in 2018, when his stray mother gave birth to five kittens in the home of a kind man. When the man could no longer care for them and was being pressured to sell them for traditional medicine, we stepped in and rescued the whole family.

All found homes quickly… except Madiba.

Adopted in 2020, he was returned after being badly bullied by other cats. The stress led to overgrooming and hair loss, and life in a busy shelter was just too much for this sensitive boy.

He moved through several foster homes, each giving love but facing circumstances that forced them to leave Vietnam.

Then came Judith.
She created the calm, stable space he needed — and over time, it became clear they were more than a temporary match. On her birthday this week, Judith made it official: Madiba (now ChinChin) is home.

A “foster fail” in name, but a huge win for both of them!

Pablo’s Sweet Reunion!

Pablo was one of the five cats we took in from a shelter in Dong Hoi last year to give them a better chance at finding loving homes.

Over the months, he watched as his roommates were adopted one by one.

Despite being cuddly, clever, and undeniably charming, Pablo didn’t receive any adoption interest.

As he started to grow bored at our Cat House, we looked for a foster home, and Sweetie’s family kindly offered to help.

Sweetie and Pablo had once been close, but after months apart, they needed a slow, gentle reintroduction.

At first, Sweetie was unsure… but before long, their bond rekindled, and the two became inseparable once again!

Seeing their connection, Sweetie’s family made the decision we were all secretly hoping for: Pablo is officially staying forever!

We’re over the moon for these two besties and their amazing humans. Here’s to a lifetime of love, naps, and snuggles!

Little Cu Needs YOU to Walk Again

This adorable pup is one of many innocent animals hurt in road accidents.

She was found by a passerby, crying in pain after being hit. When they checked on her the next day, Cu’s owner explained they simply couldn’t afford the treatment she needed.

Cu was brought to Paws International Clinic, where she received urgent treatment and surgery.

After a few days of care, Cu is now back home and resting in a recovery cage, and we’re all hoping she’ll walk again soon!

Now we need your help to cover Cu’s vet bills. Every little bit makes a big difference. The total cost is 12,723,500 VND (approximately $485 USD).

If you can donate, please mention “Cu” in the notes when you transfer

Thank you so much for supporting Cu and her loving family during this difficult time!
