The InterPetFest Fund – Join hands to protect abandoned pets in Vietnam

 

The year 2024 marks a positive shift in the community’s attitudes towards caring for animals, including pets. While we’ve made progress, it’s important to recognize that many abandoned animals still need homes or assistance at rescue centers. These organizations work tirelessly for their cause, but they often face limited resources. As a result, even a small contribution from you can greatly impact saving lives.

With love for four-legged animals and a desire to create a community for pet lovers, the InterPetFest Fund was established. The fund supports rescue organizations in caring for abandoned, neglected, or abused animals. It collaborates with reputable rescue organizations in Ho Chi Minh City and other areas. The InterPetFest Fund aims to spread the message of animal love. It contributes to building a better living environment for pets.
