Our tripaws and special needs dogs experienced something rare and beautiful: a day at the beach. Away from the remote shelter and closer to the sea, they ran, rested, splashed, and simply enjoyed being dogs. This is their story, and you can be part of helping them.

The weekend walks are back! Join us in UAQ on Saturday or Sunday evenings and spend one-to-one time with our shelter dogs. Cuddles, play, and a little exercise make a huge difference, and the dogs really miss you!

Amid the conflict and changes in the UAE, Stray Dogs Center continues caring for more than 1,700 rescue dogs as new challenges put increasing pressure on the shelter and support from the community becomes more important than ever.

For almost 10 years, a small group of volunteers has been quietly supporting shelter dogs in Dubai through pre-loved book sales — and many people still don’t know this heartwarming initiative exists. Every book bought helps feed and care for dogs waiting for their forever homes. Visit their bi-weekly book sale at Times Square Center and discover how a simple book can bring hope to a dog in need.

This Singles Day, you can make a difference in the life of a rescue dog. Meet our single dogs waiting for love and sponsor their boarding stay while we find them homes.

Shop essential gifts for our rescue dogs — from food and medical care to dental treatment and monthly sponsorships. Every gift goes directly to the dogs, comes with a shareable Certificate, and can be quickly and securely bought using Apple Pay or Google Pay.

This summer has shown what is possible when compassion meets action. From air-conditioned enclosures to micro units, sprinkler repairs, and new food partnerships, hundreds of dogs now enjoy safer and cooler lives while they wait for forever homes. With your continued support, we can expand these efforts and ensure that every dog in our care feels protected, loved, and valued.

After more than five years at Stray Dogs Center, Zoro’s luck is finally changing. He is among the very few—less than 1% of the 1,500 dogs in the shelter—who get the chance to leave and gain exposure. Now in Dubai, this gentle, kind-hearted boy attends adoption events and hopes for what he truly deserves: a forever home.
