If you need your pet boarded while you are away, please contact Vientiane Dog Paradise<\/a>, Le Cattititde Cafe Cat Cafe & Hotel<\/a> or your veterinarian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Vimaan Suan is also not<\/strong> a veterinary clinic and does not provide private or commercial medical services for pets. \u00a0If you are in need of veterinary assistance for your pets, please contact your local veterinarian (or a vet from the Resources List<\/a>) immediately.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Vimaan Suan also does not<\/strong> support the export or import of animals for adoption nor do we support any organisations that advocate it. \u00a0We firmly believe that every country is faced with its own challenges to find enough homes for animals in need, and we do not need to contribute to that problem. HOWEVER<\/strong>, If you adopt a pet while living in Laos, we strongly urge you to plan on taking your pet with you when you relocate because we believe pets are family and forever. \u00a0If you know that you cannot take your pet with you when you move, please consider fostering instead.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vimaan Suan Foundation to Assist Disadvantaged Dogs and Cats is a registered non-profit Foundation in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic that focuses on improving the quality of life for companion animals in Laos.
