Paws Rescue Diaries:

September 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 Jiji

Little Jiji was brought to us with painful and life-threatening injuries. Both of her front legs were fractured, she had nerve damage, necrotic wounds, and severe diarrhoea, causing painful inflammation on her hind end.

While her left paws started to heal and inflammation improved, the right front leg, unfortunately, had to be amputated.

Jiji is adapting well to her new condition and is recovering under the care of one of our amazing foster families.

While she waits for her forever home, you can still make a real difference for little Jiji by becoming her monthly sponsor. Your support will help cover her care and daily needs, and you’ll be able to follow her journey to his happily ever after.

Poor Gerald Needs YOU

This sweet old boy was found alone at a local market, sick, matted, dirty… and heartbroken. Someone left him behind when he needed love and care more than ever.

Gerald has since been diagnosed with dry-form FIP – this is a deadly virus if left untreated.

Thanks to our amazing supporters, we were able to begin treatment immediately, and we’re happy to report that Gerald’s condition has already begun to improve.

But this life-saving treatment is long, very expensive and we are drowning in vet bills! We cannot save him without your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to survival and shows him that he still matters.

Adopted & Loved

Pedro’s Happy Story!

Pedro was rescued in July after being dumped on the side of the road due to deformities in his legs. Anaemic, dehydrated, and starving, this poor puppy had resorted to filling his little belly with dirt and sand just to survive.

But Pedro is a fighter, and he made a remarkable recovery. Playful, affectionate, and full of life, he quickly stole the hearts of our Dog House team. It didn’t take long before Charles and Irene, a couple of rescue helpers who recently adopted another abandoned puppy, fell in love with Pedro.

Pedro, now named “Wiggles”, is already thriving in his new life. He’s even enjoying water therapy sessions in their private pool! We couldn’t be happier for this perfect match.

Double “Foster Fail” for Darcy and Britney!

We were beyond thrilled when Mr. Darcy’s foster officially signed his adoption papers! But this amazing family didn’t stop there—they opened their hearts and home to a second foster kitty, sweet little Britney.

She was one of the many neonatal kittens we rescued in emergencies over the past couple of months.

This lucky girl never even had to set paw in the shelter! Her foster home quickly became her forever home!

Now, Britney and her new big brother, Mr. Darcy, are living their best lives together and we are happy for both of them, and for this incredible foster-turned-adoptive family!

Community Outreach

World Rabies Day 2025

Thanks to our PAWsome supporters, responsible pet owners, and our host Section 30, our annual World Rabies Day event was a tremendous success!

We’re thrilled to share that, in collaboration with FOUR PAWS and Paws International Clinic Da Nang & Hoi An, we vaccinated 34 pets in our community during the event, providing them with essential protection against rabies.

But that’s not all! Between the event and World Rabies Day (28/09), we’ve vaccinated 36 more pets across Da Nang and Hoi An. What a fantastic impact in just one week!

With the support of our sponsors and vendors, we also raised over 12,000,000 VND!

These funds will directly support our microchipping, vaccination, and sterilisation program in Hoi An, helping even more animals in need.

YOU can make a difference

As a non-profit relying solely on public donations, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our supporters—who make it possible for us to rescue and rehabilitate animals in need. Your contributions have enabled us to provide essential vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and medical treatment to thousands of animals.

Please consider continuing your support to help us carry out our vital work.
