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.

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.
