HOW TO ADOPT A DOG IN DUBAI?
Why do we ask about you?
Too many pets are abandoned. To prevent these situations, careful screening is necessary. Though we ask many questions, they help us find the best match possible for you.
Our adoption fee is 1.900 DHS which covers partly the costs we pay for each dog, the majority being medical and boarding fees.
Which dogs are up for adoption?
All our dogs actually, but as we have more than a thousand dogs at the shelter with new rescues coming in daily and some luckily get adopted - it is impossible to display them all. After your application is approved, our adoptions team will find the best candidates for you, but you can also browse our adult dogs or puppies & juniors who wait for their next chapter in boarding or foster homes in Dubai. All dogs are healthy, vaccinated and spayed/neutered (unless too young and will be required at appropriate age).
WANT TO FOSTER A DOG?
-
Fill out our foster form.
-
Your application is screened and approved, or declined.
-
If approved choose your doggy and take him/her home for a minimum 2 week period.
-
We will try to find a permanent home for the doggy (and secretly hope for a foster fail!).
Fostering is very helpful!
It increases the dogs chances to get adopted once he/she learns how to live in a home and we learn valuable information like how they are left home alone, with kids, cats etc. The more foster homes we have, the more lives we can save. We will provide our full support and a starter pack, leash, and bedding if needed.
Which dogs need a foster home?
Ideally all our dogs would live in homes. With nearly 1500 dogs and new rescues coming in, we just don't have the resources to showcase them all. However you can browse the adult dogs and puppies we have in boarding in Dubai.
For every dog that goes into foster we are able to send another one from the shelter to boarding, where they are more likely to find their way to homes. You can also come to our weekly adoption/foster days to meet some of our doggies. Follow our social media channels for the timings!
