Help us rehome our rescue huskies and other arctic breeds to cooler countries!
Huskies and arctic breeds are built for snow, not the intense UAE heat. Our goal is to rehome these dogs to cooler countries where they can truly thrive and enjoy the outdoors.
If you’re considering adopting an arctic dog to your family and live in a cooler climate, please reach out or share this page with someone who might be! All adopters are screened to ensure the best match, and every dog is microchipped, fully vaccinated, health-checked, and neutered before adoption.
Introducing our huskies & other arctic dogs for adoption:

Ace
Ace is a handsome 3 year old Husky with beautiful brown eyes and a confident, alert look. He has that unmistakable Husky charm and a calm, steady presence that makes him truly special.
Neutered and ready for his next adventure, Ace is a striking boy who’s sure to turn heads wherever he goes.

Alaska
Alaska, this light ginger-coated girl is 4 years of age, petite for a husky and on the smaller side of medium. A friendly, energetic girl, Alaska gets along with people and other dogs. Currently in boarding in Dubai, she’s ready and waiting to meet you!

Ayla
Ayla is a gorgeous, medium Husky. Ayla was surrendered to the shelter and earned her way into our boarding programme, a crucial stepping stone for our dogs hoping and dreaming for a second chance.
Ayla is truly a wonderful dog. She is very playful, affectionate and loves to cuddle. She really enjoys attention and being close to people, but at the same time she is also able to settle down and relax.

Bea
- IN FOSTER -
This 3-year-old Husky is ready for adventure! Once she gets over the initial excitement of being outside, Bea is a friendly, easy-going girl who loves to sniff and explore.
Like all Huskies, Bea needs plenty of exercise to keep her happy and engaged. We don’t know what her home-life experience is, so she may need support with learning the house rules. Spayed and fully vaccinated.

Blizzard
- IN FOSTER -
A beautiful 3-year-old Husky boy with a big heart and a wonderful personality. Playful, fun, and eager to please, he adores people and gets along great with other dogs.

Dakota
- IN FOSTER -
Dakota is an absolute sweetheart
At just over 3 years old, this gorgeous snow-white girl came to boarding in Dubai from our shelter and is now waiting for someone to give her a real home. A gentle, loving soul who adores people. Calm, well-behaved, and happy just being by your side. Still has that goofy Husky sparkle that keeps life entertaining without turning it into chaos.

Ghost
- IN FOSTER -
This sweet senior boy has been let down not once, but twice. Surrendered again by people who promised him forever, being back in boarding is no place for this quiet boy who loves to nap. Ghost has lived with cats, walks beautifully on the lead, making him the perfect low-maintenance couch buddy.
Can you offer Ghost a quiet, safe place to rest his head? DOB 2019.

Storm
- IN FOSTER -
3 yrs old, Storm currently lives with other dogs. Energetic and playful, he’d thrive in an active home with plenty of outdoor adventures. He loves water and is always happy to help clean up any treats that fall from the table. With his lively nature, he'd fit best in an adults-only home or one with older children, ideally with someone around most of the time.

Tala
- IN TRIAL ADOPTION -
Tala is a 3-4 yrs old Husky mix with striking blue eyes and a soft, full coat. Her expressive face and gentle presence make her truly captivating - a gorgeous girl with unmistakable Husky charm. Obviously used for breeding, repeatedly, she was found underweight, malnourished and worn out. This quiet girl is ready for her second chance.

1 year old | Fully vaccinated & neutered.
Rescued after a road accident, had surgery to insert a metal plate, and is now fully healed - walking and running completely normally!

Toto is looking for a gentle, loving family in a cooler climate ready to give this brave boy the happy ending he deserves.

Troy
- IN FOSTER -
DOB 06/2024. Troy is vaccinated and neutered. What’s more, he’s house trained, enjoys his walkies (and the occasional runs) and is fine being left alone for some hours. A medium energy husky, Troy needs his regular exercise and is happy to chillax the rest of the time. Troy is fine with calm dogs and needs an adult only home.

Venus
This gorgeous girl is the new kid on the block, searching for a home ideally abroad in a colder climate.

Boster (sponsor) huskies
These arctic beauties each have their flights to their new homes sponsored but they still need kind people to support their stay in boading while we find them homes. Please help with either option:
Interested? Please reach out for more information or start by filling out our international adoption application and we will contact you!
To adopt a husky to a cooler country, please follow these steps:
-
Start by filling our international adoption form. This is for us to get to know more about you so that we can choose which dog would best fit your life. The more information you provide the better.
-
Our experienced team will contact you once your application has been reviewed, usually within 2-4 days (we are only a small team of volunteers with limited time). A Zoom interview will be scheduled.
-
A home visit will be arranged, if possible. Alternatively we will ask video footage of your home and outdoor space.

Once your application is approved, we will introduce the best matches for you.
-
The adoption fee is AED 1900 to cover the medical bill of the dog.

The relocation process is started. Before this step we cannot know when exactly you will be able to get your dog. Usually it takes 2-8 weeks depending on your destination for your dog to arrive, also if the dog has or needs to be spayed/neutered.
