Meet Bo Catan, the little furball with a tale to tell! At approximately 7 months old, healthy, spayed and fully vaccinated, she's ready to take on the world (and maybe your couch!). Bo's origin story? Well, its a bit of a mystery- found by the roadside during a stroll with our dog, and she decided to tag along with us! She did not have a microchip either so we don't know from where or how she ended up there. We suspect she was abandoned, but don't worry, she holds no grudges. Bo is now ready for her forever home where she can lounge around like a sweet little cotton ball- or a pampered potato! Drop me a message if you're interested in adopting Bo and I'll send over the adoption questionnaire faster than Bo can chase a laser pointer! Adoption fees apply.

Please meet the Star Wars kittens- Luke (fully white) and Leia ❤️🐾
These little nuggets, along with their 3 siblings (who sadly passed away), were destined for death when their owner instructed their maid to put them in the garbage bin.
They urgently need a foster or forever home, and they must go together. Sadly they lost their foster home through no fault of their own, and deserve a life in a good home environment.
They are approx 5 -6 months old, have both been microchipped, fully vaccinated, de-wormed and spayed and neutered.
If you can offer to foster or adopt them both, please get in touch. Adoption process will be followed and an adoption fee covering their chips, vaccinations and sterilization will apply.

Finally managed to trap one of our compound cats for TNR. Meet Gambit, everyone!
It took a few months to get him to trust my husband and I. Even though he'd keep his distance and scream and hiss at us, he'd always be around at feeding time. Today was the day we finally got him and we couldn't be more relieved! TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is humane and ethical, prevents unwanted litters, and reduces fighting and roaming behaviors. I know this is only a drop in the ocean right now but it's a good start! ❤️🐱🐾

Meet Ozzy and Lulu who are going through my Anything is Pawsible Puppy Training Program. We're combining obedience with plenty of fun enrichment activities to help build confidence and encourage calm, good behaviors.
They've been doing so well so far, especially with leash walking despite the many distractions around. Super proud of these puppies and their fur-mom who is so dedicated and committed to their training and development 🐶🐾❤️🐕

I decided to upload this infographic as a post and not a story as it is such an important message that I'd like to reiterate for those who have and do not have dogs.

I cannot stress enough that dogs are not public property, and that it is not okay to go up to any dog you see and pet it without first checking with their guardian.

For those with reactive or nervous dogs, please know that it is completely okay to tell people, and yes even kids, not to approach or attempt to pet your dog. In this way, you are ensuring to not only keep your dogs safe, but those around you as well.

thank you for this extremely important messaging

Meet Fluffy and Snowy! These little munchkins are currently going through the Smarty Paws Obedience Program with me, and I have to say, are doing their guardians (and me!) very proud! 😍🥰
They're learning good home manners and how not to run to the door or bark at new faces when they come over, and are walking so well on a loose leash. Absolute rockstars! 🐶🐾❤️
Well done to their guardians for putting in the time and effort in training them! 👏 👏

Meet Rio! Isn't he just the sweetest little muffin you've ever seen?? Rio was rescued off the streets of Musaffah by the wonderful team at The Mussafah Dog Project
He is currently enrolled in my Anything Is Pawsible Puppy Training Program, and boy is he the smartest little pup! He's nailed Sit and Come, and enjoys his daily enrichment activities. He also happily settles on the couch and plays with his favorite stuffed toys. Such a sweetheart! ❤️
Stay tuned for more updates on my new star puppy! 🐶❤️🐾🥰
