TRANSPARENT AND NONPROFIT

Legally registered and working entirely for the community

HavePaws is a social enterprise working for companion animal welfare in Vietnam. Our nonprofit commitment is legally binding. All revenue and retained surplus is reinvested in rescue, sterilization, veterinary care, adoption, and free technology tools for the community.

HavePaws operates according to four core values: Humanity, Altruism, Equality, and Neutrality. These values guide how we care for animals, work with communities, and use data transparently and fairly.

HavePaws is also a member of Asia for Animals, connecting with a regional animal protection network to share knowledge and create lasting impact.

THE CHALLENGE WE ADDRESS

Protecting animals requires both data and direct action

Illegal theft, trade, and slaughter harm companion animals, families, and communities. At the same time, lost and homeless animals still lack an effective system connecting information, care, and responsible homes.

  • Humanely manage free-roaming dog and cat populations
  • Connect veterinary care, foster support, and rescue when needed
  • Screen adopters to improve the chance of a stable, responsible home
