The Big Goal
We are building a glamping retreat and dog sanctuary on the edge of Ho Chi Minh City.
A permanent home for senior and unadoptable dogs, funded by guests who choose to stay somewhere that means something.
Bell tents tucked among the trees, shared gardens and a kitchen to gather around, and a quarantine facility that can receive twenty or more rescued dogs at once, a first for animal rescue in Vietnam. The dogs live here. You are welcome to be part of their day.
A shared kitchen and long tables to cook, eat, and slow down. Good food, easy company, and usually a hopeful dog at your feet.
Communal Kitchen
Communal Space
Open gardens and a fire to gather around once the sun goes down. Guests and residents share the same ground here, and mornings begin with the pack walk.
Glamping Retreat
Comfortable, well-designed bell tents with real beds, air-conditioning, and a private deck. Every night you stay pays for a resident's care.
Dog Sanctuary
A permanent home for senior dogs and those who may never be adopted. They live out their lives here, cared for and never caged. They are the reason Urban Glamp exists.
What you'll find here
How we get there
Stage One
Fund it and make it real
First, we raise enough to sign the lease and register Urban Glamp as a business in Vietnam. This is the stage we are in now, and it is exactly where your donation goes.
Stage Two
Build it
With the site secured, construction begins: the sanctuary, the bell tents, the communal spaces, and a quarantine facility that can take in twenty or more rescued dogs at once, filling a gap in animal rescue that no other organisation in Vietnam currently meets.
Stage Three
Open the gates
We welcome the first residents home and the first guests to stay. From the very first night, every booking funds the dogs' care.
FAQs
Right now, every donation goes toward three things: securing the lease on the land, registering Urban Glamp as a business in Vietnam, and building the sanctuary itself. This is the foundation that lets everything else happen. Once we open, the dogs' day-to-day care is funded by guests who come to stay, so your donation now is what gets us to that point.
Urban Glamp is a social enterprise of Laws for Paws Vietnam, a no-kill, cage-free rescue organisation. The profit from every stay goes back into this work: rescuing dogs, caring for them, and finding them homes. Urban Glamp also gives the dogs who can't be rehomed and the seniors, a permanent place to live, and adds a quarantine facility that lets Laws for Paws Vietnam take in more dogs at once than ever before.
They are our residents: senior dogs and dogs who, for one reason or another, may never be adopted. They have come through the Laws for Paws Vietnam rescue system, and Urban Glamp is where they live now, for the rest of their lives. You will get to know them by name.
Yes, in the most natural way. The residents move freely around the property, so you will meet them simply by being here: on the morning walk, around the gardens, near the fire at night. Nothing is staged. If you would like to do more, there are gentle ways to help out, like feeding or brushing, but the dogs always set the pace.
We are in the fundraising stage now, working toward securing the land. Once we reach that goal, building begins. The best way to follow along is to join our newsletter, we will share each step of the journey as it happens.
