💔 MAVERICK IS STILL WAITING. HOW MUCH LONGER MUST HE LIVE IN BOARDING?

All Maverick needs is ONE home. A home without other dogs. Is that really too much to ask?

This beautiful Husky was rescued from the streets of Abu Dhabi early March, hoping his life would finally change for the better. Instead, months have passed, and Maverick is still spending his days in boarding, waiting for someone to choose him.

And the saddest part? He is an absolutely wonderful dog with people.

🐾 Age:Approximately 1.5–2 years
🐾 Health: Neutered and fully vaccinated
🐾 Temperament: Loving, affectionate and surprisingly calm for a Husky.
🐾 At home: Needs about a week to settle, after which he is an incredibly easy companion
🐾 Independence: Can be left alone for 3–4 hours once settled
🐾 Requirement: MUST be the only dog in the home

Maverick is NOT dog-friendly. And we want to be absolutely clear about that. He needs a responsible person who will respect his boundaries, avoid interactions with other dogs and keep him safe during walks.

But why should that one requirement mean he never gets a home?

His previous temporary caregiver described him as one of the easiest dogs to have at home once he settled. He has never shown aggression towards people. He simply needs someone who understands him.

We are desperately looking for a TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT HOME for Maverick.

Every day in boarding is another day without a family, without a home to call his own, without someone to love him as their one and only.

💔 Please, don't let Maverick become another dog who spends years waiting simply because he isn't comfortable around other dogs.

🙏 If you have a home without other dogs, please consider giving Maverick a chance.

DM us to offer Maverick a home or request our questionnaire.

And if you cannot take him in, PLEASE SHARE. Somewhere out there is the person Maverick has been waiting for. ❤️

🐾 Meet Pongo – Still Waiting for His Forever Home! ❤️

Pongo is a handsome 10-month-old boy with a gentle, affectionate and easygoing personality.

🐾 A little about Pongo:
- 🐱 Excellent with cats
- 🐶 Dog-friendly
- 👶 Good with children
- ✅ Fully vaccinated and neutered
- 🏡 Toilet trained and leash trained

Pongo is slightly underexposed to new environments and needs a few days to decompress and build trust. Once comfortable, he is an absolute sweetheart who bonds deeply with his humans.

Because he gets emotionally attached, we are looking for a committed forever home where he won't have to move from family to family.

❤️ Serious adopters only. Please DM us to know more.

🐾 MEET MAMBA – 3-MONTH-OLD COCKER SPANIEL UP FOR ADOPTION!🐶❤️

Meet Mamba, an adorable little Cocker Spaniel puppy who was surrendered to us because his previous owner wasn't fully prepared for the responsibilities of raising a puppy.

At just three months old, Mamba is tiny, incredibly cute and has so much to learn! ❤️

🐾 Age: 3 months
🐾 Breed: Cocker Spaniel
💉 Vaccination: First vaccine done, booster due
🐶 Training: Needs patience, time and consistent training

🏡 We're looking for a responsible, committed family where someone is home for most of the day**, as Mamba is still too young to be left alone for long periods.

Puppies are adorable, but they require time, effort and a lifelong commitment. We want to make sure Mamba finds a family that understands this and is ready to give him the love and guidance he deserves.

📩 Kindly DM us for more information or to apply for Mamba's adoption.

🐾❤️ CHLOE IS ADOPTED! A HAPPY ENDING FOR OUR GIRL! 🏡🎉

While Chloe received so much interest and so many adoption enquiries, we couldn't be happier to announce that our beautiful girl has officially found her forever home! ❤️

And honestly, we couldn't have wished for a better family for her!

Chloe has been adopted by someone we have known and trusted for a very long time. Her new mum & dad has been supporting and helping our rescue efforts for years, and knowing the kind of love and care they gives their animals makes this adoption even more special to us.

Let's just say Chloe has landed herself with one of those wonderfully crazy pet parents whose entire world revolves around their fur babies! 😂❤️

She's already the centre of attention, getting thoroughly spoiled, going on adventures, enjoying endless love and cuddles, and even has a feline sibling to share her new life with! 🐶🐱

For us, the greatest happiness is knowing that one of our rescues has gone to a home where she will never be an afterthought, but a cherished member of the family.

Chloe hasn't just found a home. She's found her people, her mom and dad, and a lifetime of love. ❤️

Here's to endless adventures, unconditional love and a lifetime of being one very spoiled little princess!

🐾 FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR NELSON. (He will be there for adoption day today)

We genuinely don't understand why this sweet, loving boy is still waiting.

Nelson has been in boarding for a while now, and what he needs more than anything is a home — even a foster home where he can finally have the individual attention, cuddles and love he craves.

Nelson is almost 5 years old and:

🐾 Incredibly loving and affectionate
🐾 Fully vaccinated
🐾 Neutered
🐾 Dental scaling completed
🐾 Goes to daycare and enjoys his outings
🐾 Would preferably be the only dog in the home
🐾 Absolutely loves attention and cuddles

And we have some wonderful news about Nelson too.

Nelson can hear! ❤️

When he first came to us, we believed he was deaf. After intensive treatment for his ears, his hearing has thankfully returned fully. He is still adjusting to suddenly being able to hear the world around him, so certain sounds can be a little overwhelming or unfamiliar to him. He simply needs some patience while he gets accustomed to them.

This boy has already been through enough.

He doesn't need another boarding kennel. He needs a sofa. He needs someone to cuddle up to. He needs to know what it feels like to belong somewhere again.

Even if you cannot commit to adopting Nelson, please consider fostering him. Giving him a home while he waits could make such a difference to his life.

📩 Please DM us to foster or adopt Nelson.

📍 Abu Dhabi, UAE

And please share his post. His person may simply not have seen him yet. ❤️🐾

🚨 URGENT TEMPORARY HOME NEEDED FOR MISHTI 💔

A gentle Golden Retriever who desperately needs a safe place to recover.

Yesterday, we were alerted about a Golden Retriever believed to be pregnant, lying on the street in the heat, panting heavily and struggling to walk. Concerned for her safety, we arranged for her to be taken to a veterinary clinic in Dubai for urgent examination.

Thankfully, Mishti was not pregnant. However, her medical assessment revealed several serious health concerns.

🐾 Mishti's medical condition:

- Severe obesity, significantly affecting her ability to stand and walk.
- Bilateral hip dysplasia, particularly severe in her left hip.
- Burns, abrasions and blisters on all four paws, causing considerable discomfort.
- Bacterial infections in both ears, requiring treatment.
- Dental tartar buildup, requiring professional cleaning.

Her examination also raised concerns about bones in her digestive tract, which require veterinary attention.

Despite everything, Mishti is an absolute sweethea
