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:

Adoptions are so rewarding! We’re so happy to see our kiddos moving on from shelter life. We’re struggling to keep up with expenses, but they’re living their best lives and we know the struggle is worth it.

We’re $1,300 short from last week’s bills and just THREE days away from running out of dog and cat food. On top of that, we must raise $3,000 for 6 months shelter rent! Without your help, we’re in serious danger of losing it all!

We love good news! Our very first puppy and kitten adoptions happened this week! 🎉 Flora and Sophia go to wonderful new homes in Da Nang. This Saturday, 4 more puppies who beat Parvo will get their vaccinations and move into our shelter, but we can only keep that appointment if we clear our vet bill immediately.

For 12 long years we’ve poured everything into this rescue. Please don’t let us lose what we’ve built. Every donation big or small makes the difference between empty bowls and full ones, between survival and shutdown. 💔🐾

👉 Donate today! Your gift keeps the food bowls full and the vet clinic doors open.

Twelve years of rescue.
12 years of saving lives of the most vulnerable beings across a couple dozen species.
12 years of watching preventable suffering and death and fighting a daily battle to care for animals in a place where they are so often horribly abused and neglected.
12 years of battling to have the space, staff, vets, money, and adoptions to give everything to the animals we care for.
12 years of burning out with a fight it seems we will never win.
12 years of this vital work being held up only by the generosity and kindness of strangers mostly across oceans who believe in our mission and our ability to carry it out.
12 years of being attacked and dismissed for being a vegan, anti-speciesist organization in the very non-vegan world of animal rescue.
12 years in our shelter building but now about to be kicked out because we can’t make rent.
12 years of hoping against all odds that we will make it through another day.

Somehow we’ve made it this far but we’re in desperate need of more help. WE WILL BE KICKED OUT OF OUR SHELTER in 2 weeks if we can’t raise $3000 in rent for 6 months. We are $1450 behind already in mid month bills and WE ARE ON OUR LAST FEW DAYS OF FOOD. 12 years living on the edge, but this is the WORST it’s been since before the pandemic. We cannot go on without YOUR help!

Please donate today if you’re able, but more than anything COMMENT, LIKE, SHARE SHARE SHARE. Our engagement has plummeted and we’re just not in news feeds at all anymore so we can’t raise the money we need to survive.

We are a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Watching the drastic decline in donations this year even as we’ve done more rescues, people often ask me why I don’t just expand our audience by stopping any mention of veganism.

Maggie is why we aren’t silent. Mathias, Charlotte and Cherish, our chickens, are why. Julian and Lola are why. The 3 trillion animals unnecessarily killed annually are why.

We love animals and we live and breathe animal rights. Many of our supporters are not vegan, and that’s ok, but it doesn’t mean that we will remain silent and thus complicit in the exploitation and killing of innocents in order to make doggie lovers happy so we can make more money.

We have a moral obligation to call out animal advocates that remain willing participants in the suffering of animals. In the extremely anti-vegan world of rescue and conservation, to be the lone wolf standing up for all species is isolating and yes, it drastically affects our funding. Could we rescue more animals if we had more financial support from people who don’t agree with animal rights but love dogs? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be right to be silent for those three trillion animals that didn’t need to die for the whims of humans. We have an obligation through our work to bring veganism into the discourse in animal advocacy because sadly, most domestic animal rescues won’t say a thing.

We’re very close to losing everything with a $4500 budget shortfall that means we won’t make rent or pay our vital staff. Should we just stop caring about farmed animals so we can pay bills? Should we delete all our vegan posts so the non vegans aren’t “offended” by our morally consistent messaging and not donate?

No, definitely not. If you are offended that animal lovers and rescuers don’t eat animals, this isn’t the right account to follow.

As the only outspoken vegan rescue in Vietnam and one of very few in Asia, we won’t back down. We hope others one day will join our battle against speciesism. We hope one day loving animals is synonymous with veganism.

We can be both ethical and funded and we hope to prove that to the world one day. It’a a battle we will win in time.

$1500 short and 3 days late of our fundraising target! What will we do?

This year has been really rough and we hate begging for money, but we’ve cut back on everything we possibly can to stay open. We’re operating at bare bones level staffing and even that is a struggle as 2 staff already have had to wait to get paid late. Our vets are pushing us to pay our invoices. The pressure is on.

With rent due in exactly 16 days, that’s another $3000 weeks we need to secure or we lose our shelter we’ve been in for 12 years! Where will our rescues go if our generous supporters can’t step up and help us stay open?

No one wants to talk about money when rescues are much more interesting, but we can’t rescue without funds. None of this is free. It’s fuelled every single day by the support of strangers around the world and today we desperately need everyone to share our crisis!

We are watching so many nonprofits in this situation failing to meet their budget this year and having to close their doors. We had this extremely unexpected parvo puppy situation that just took all our funds to solve and now we’ve got to figure something out to just pay all our other bills. We’re terrified.

PLEASE LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE! We are not getting seen in newsfeeds and we feel invisible at this crucial time!

🆘🆘🆘EMERGENCY FUNDRAISING PLEA! We are so grateful to our donors last night that got us $400 closer to our goal of $2000! We’re now $1500 short of mid-month basic bills plus we’ll have another vet bill today plus the rising cost of 2 critical parvo cases at the clinic. PLEASE KEEP DONATING! We really need you now!

Two puppies down, 7 to go! The 2 puppies who never got parvo, Flora MacDonald and Benjamin, were healthy and ready for their first vaccine after a week in isolation. Now they have escaped the isolation room and headed to the shelter to integrate with the big dogs there.

Mama Kelly got a blood test and we found she has two tick borne diseases, Anaplasma and Ehrlichiosis, and she’ll stay at the house being treated with doxycycline for the next 28 days before she’ll get vaccinated and spayed. After that she can move to the shelter.

We’re so excited to finally get at least 2 puppies moved. This is such a big day for them! The 4 puppies who recovered from parvo are getting their vaccines next Saturday and then they, too, will head to the shelter. It’s still touch and go with the 2 in the clinic now though and we’re so worried for them.

Please help us cover our $1500 deficit today! We really must pay for food, staff, and vets this afternoon!

💚While we’re in an extremely urgent funding crisis, we also still have hope.

Right now, we must raise $1900 by TOMORROW for vet bills, food, and staff. This is no joke. Our staff work hard day in and day out and they deserve their salaries. None of us get rich in this work but all of us need to eat. It’s a work of passion but everyone must consume food and we ensure our full time staff get to do that every day just like our rescues.

Yesterday I watched our gorgeous rescue boy Antoine doing zoomies all over the shelter garden with our staff and just being the silliest boy. We cannot pet him, but he’s one of the happiest animals we have ever rescued. His story is so tragic, yet so inspiring. Rescuing him last October was a big risk as we were really struggling and knew if he was able to recover from his severe mange, it would still be a very long road to recovery with his mistrust of humans. But he persevered because in spite of the difficulties of keeping this organization running and the animals fed, we gave him a chance that he never would have had without us. He is our “why”.

Animals like Antoine matter.
Rescuing birds, bats, puppies, and ducks matters.
Adoptions to loving families around the world matters.
Helping community animals matters.
Trying as hard as we can to help animals of any species in nightmare conditions matters.
Being outspoken vegans in a sea of animal eating “animal lovers” matters.

We are in a very challenging environment to rescue animals in every possible way, but we cannot quit. Our work is VITAL regardless of how much support we get. Their lives matter whether people see our posts or not.

We are tired of begging. I’m tired of living on the absolute edge of survival and wondering if we can order food. But we won’t give up. This work is far too important here to just call it quits.

Please donate today to help us cover our vital expenses!

URGENT! We only have 2 days to raise $2000 for vet bills, feed orders, and salaries for our hardworking staff!

So far we’ve only raise $46 of that… this is quite scary.

The vets need to be paid.
The food orders are due.
The full time staff who provide everything for the rescues inside and outside of our gates also must eat. This organization is nothing without the humans behind the scenes who care for all these rescues. Please help us support them.

We’ve been asked many times why we don’t take volunteers and avoid the “unnecessary” cost of salaries. This is a career, not a hobby, to start with. To be good at any job, doing it long term, full time is required. We value the experience our staff get by staying here long term in Vietnam and knowing all our rescues well. Without pay, most people can only stay a very short time and never get the chance to learn much about rescue or our work here.People that come and go are above all a babysitting job unfortunately who require constant supervision, something that takes away from our mission. Full time onsite staff simply works better for us after having survived on solely voluntary work for the first 7 years. We learned our lesson.

While we pay a small local salary, we provide accommodations, a motorbike, and visa runs so that our caretakers can live a comfortable life and have their basics covered. We highly recommend to any shelter to have long term full time staff if possible. It’s been a game changer for the rescues. We are working with a bare bones team at the moment as our funds have tanked in 2025, but we still must pay them on time. Rescues are only as good as the humans that make up the organisation- please help us help the people who make this mission possible.

When we say we love animals, we mean it. We mean that we don’t cause unnecessary harm to any species. We do not use animals for food, clothing, entertainment, or research. Animals are not here for us. They share this planet with us. We are their stewards, not their enslavers.

Master Julian lived out his life with us until last June when he was nearly 10 years old. Lola died that January at the age of 11 and a half. Pigs live a maximum of 6 months when raised for food, longer if they are for breeding, but still tortured in small concrete pens, often never seeing sunlight until the day of their murders. They lived peacefully at our sanctuary for their natural lifespans and we will forever fight for the rights of pigs like them.

No one needs animals products to be healthy and with 80,000 edible plants, it’s easy to choose a vegan lifestyle that abstains from harming animals.

Loving animals means living vegan.

We need to raise $1500 by Friday to pay our mid month bills and knock out our huge vet bill before we add another clinic visit. Please help us reach our goal!

We’re so lucky the 6 parvo puppy cases are doing well. Amy, the runt, also has ehrlichiosis, so she’s on extra meds, but the lot are feeling good. We’ve still got an outstanding bill for them we need help with, and in 2 weeks the recovered babies will get their vaccines and move up to the shelter and out of isolation. We still have 2 puppies and mom who never got sick which is quite miraculous. If they stay healthy all week they’ll get vaccines next weekend.

Without our supporters, we’d never be able to save these puppies. From their rescue from the filthy and busy market floor to being given a promise of a healthy life, they’re on their way to a better life with the love of donors from around the world who believe their care means something here in a place where so few families like theirs ever get a chance at life.

Pagoda kitten vet day! These 3 boys got exams plus deworming and vaccines. One needed eye drops. All are a bit skinny and we hope their feeder can get some more weight on them.

These kids like so many others here are getting a rough start to life. We hope that we can ensure they grow up healthy. There are 4 feral adults there we will trap as soon as we can get the funds along with another 7 cats at a f**k farm nearby.

We are really hopeful that we can at the very least prevent these cats from getting and spreading diseases plus ensuring they don’t reproduce. Here, that’s the best we can do. We simply do not have room at the shelter for more cats and there are just so few adopting homes here that will keep them safe from the dangers of the cat meat trade for their whole lives and provide them with good care.

Please help us cover our vet bills for these 3 plus the Parvo puppies! All 6 who got Parvo have recovered and they’ll be all back at home today. We’re hoping there will not be any more cases with the remaining 3 healthy dogs. As of 2 days ago the bill there was $331 and now it’s probably over $400, so please help us pay the vets!

It’s been a while since we introduced ourselves to new followers so here it goes.

We are a 501(c)(3) US nonprofit operating in Hoi An, Vietnam since March 2013. We are an outspoken anti-speciesist, vegan organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes cats and dogs while giving lifelong sanctuary to farmed species like chickens, ducks, and formerly 2 big pigs. We have a small shelter which is a 4 bedroom house with large garden and a second 2 bedroom house up the street for our new rescue quarantine and nursing babies.

The organization started with 2 founders, myself, Cat Besch, being one of them, but we split the organization 2 years later for us to focus on our vet clinic and farmed species. After our clinic closed due to a lack of funding, we really struggled until the Paws international clinic opened in Da Nang in 2020 and finally our rescues were once again able to get good care.

We worked on a wildlife rescue project this past year with the government that we closed in May due to the extreme difficulties of dealing with the authorities and not making any kind of progress with the staff. At the moment, we’re focusing on rescue and rehoming in central Vietnam and restarting community TNR projects this fall.

These 12 years have been difficult to say the least. This is an extremely challenging environment to rescue animals in and that sadly hasn’t changed in this time. We are doing our best just to keep our sanctuary animals cared for and to manage the community cases as best we can. We stand firm that a vegan world is the only one in which animals will ever be given the respect they deserve.

Please support our work to care for the rescues we have and the animals in need outside our gates.

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/.
