"Every life counts"
VOLUNTEER - Get Involved!
We welcome everyone to be part of helping rescue dogs on their journey. Please note that activities at our shelter in Umm Al Quwain require pre-booking and the location will be given upon booking. Scroll down to see the volunteering activities in Dubai.
IN UMM AL QUWAIN, THE SHELTER

Shelter Dog Walk | Umm Al Quwain
Our doggies love their desert walks! A calm, idyllic, desert backdrop, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Come join us to spend some quality time with the doggies. During the hot summer season we do early Sunrise walks, in the winter time usually a bit later in the morning / early evenings.

Doggy Socialization | Umm Al Quwain
The goal of the socialization program is to help new entrants to overcome their fears, integrate with other doggies, adapt to human contact and learn to walk on a leash.​

Stay at home volunteers!
By opening your home temporarily and fostering a dog or puppy, you’re not only providing comfort. You’re becoming part of the journey toward adoption and changing the life of that dog.
You provide safety, love and daily care, we provide our full support and vet care if needed, while the dog stays with you.
Be the difference for one dog, you will not regret it!
