There have been numerous posts on Facebook and we have received quite some messages about this dog, named Smiley by some, who lives with 2 of her siblings near the tourist police - Laguna.
The reason of all the posts and messages is the fact that she has a large fatty growth next to her front leg and we of course understand the concern.

We have been aware of this growth for quite some time. More than half a year ago we took her to the vet to see if anything could be done or needed to be done. Smiley is 12 years old or more so a surgery to remove the growth is quite risky.
According to the vet this growth is benign and doesn't cause her any pain, maybe only a bit of discomfort. We double checked with vets in the UK and all said that it's best to let her be and not operate.

There are numerous people, including the tourist police, looking after these dogs and feeding them . And as you can see in the video in the comments she is still a happy dog!

UPDATE!
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME FOR THIS 5(?) YEAR OLD BOY!

HE CRAVES HUMAN COMPANY AND WOULD LOVE TO BE COMFORTABLE AND COOL IN AIRCON EVERY SO OFTEN
HE GETS EPILEPTIC ATTACKS WE THINK CAUSED BY OVERHEATING AND STRESS. SO THE ADOPTER HAS TO BE AWARE OF THIS

FOR ADOPTION!
This lovely boy was found more than a week ago with heatstroke and open wounds on his feet ( the pads) making it very painful for him to walk. He had been noticed before on the beach of ASALA, maltreated by Bedouin kids.

Now his wounds have mostly healed and his health is back and it is time for him to get a good home . We cannot put him back on the beach to be once again mistreated .

Who can take him in? PLEASE!!!

The tick season has started so it seems....
We encountered this poor young dog today riddled in ticks. This is a really bad case, it usually doesn't get as bad as this, but when a dog has many ticks the chance of him or her catching a tick born disease like a blood parasite is quite likely.
Quick and effective treatment is a must in cases like this. Bravecto can rid her of ticks in 24 hours. Luckily we always carry some with us , so she will feel a lot better by tomorrow

We need your support to be able to purchase Bravecto for these urgent cases. One Bravecto (40€) can help 3 baladi dogs so each 12.50 € helps one of our street dogs here in Dahab.
Please help us help them. Thank you!

A new story for some and an update for those living in Dahab....
Almost a month ago there was a post on a Dahab group about this elderly female at the 3 Pools with an open tumor and if she could be helped in any way.
As she is not that young anymore we were afraid she would not survive an operation but leaving her like this was also not an option. So we took the risk and picked her up.
Dr Amira did an amazing job not only removing the open tumor but also a second one.
And she pulled through!
She enjoyed 3 weeks of relaxation and good food in the garden of Vanessa (thank you Vanessa)!!
Today we brought her back to the 3 pools where she immediately found a comfortable spot to lay.
We will keep monitoring her and we wish her another few more good and healthy years.

A few days ago an individual poisoned a couple dogs and cats in the industrial area. His actions were caught on security camera. People in this area immediately took action - a police report was made and the person was apprehended and taken into custody. These people also cleaned the area of suspicious bags and remnants of food.

We would like to thank and commemorate these people for taking action. It is very important that the community itself reacts when injustice is done and takes appropriate action. Only then can there be change.
So thank you!!

TNR APRIL 2025
The past 2 weeks we have all been working very hard to bring in enough cats and dogs to keep vet Amira and our visiting vet Josephine from the UK happy!
A big thank you also to all of you who brought in your own street and garden cats and street dogs.
We need the involvement of the community to help and control the street animal population!
We are very grateful to Josephine to spend most of her holiday in the clinic working hard instead of lying on a sunbed getting a tan 😉.

The grand total :
Female cats: 36
Male cats: 26
Female dogs: 10
Male dogs: 4

HONORING AND CARING FOR OUR ELDERLY DOGS

Dahab is one of the few places in Egypt I think where you can see quite some elderly stray dogs, dogs that have reached the respectable age of 10 and sometimes even 14 years or more. This thanks to the no poison policy we have managed to agree on with the government.
But of course, at some point in time these elderly dogs might develop health issues or will become less mobile. They might lose their hearing or sight.
So when meeting one of our elderlies, stop, give them a cuddle, spend some time with them and see if they need your help.
We treasure their presence and love each and every one of them.

But of course there comes a time when they say their goodbyes and leave us. The past couple months we have lost a number of our elderly dogs.
Today Focus, an abandoned shepherd and in our care for 6 months now, said his farewell. RIP dear Focus and fly high.

We will also miss Loubo (area Blue Beach), Wadi (Fighting Kangeroo), Action (Marine Garden) and Domino (although an owned dog, well known and loved by many). Be free !!! 🌈🌈🌈

In the photos are some of those that are still with us and those that have left us. We honor you and love you!

Please share with us stories and photos of elderly dogs you know and love in Dahab. Let us honor them all. 🙏🙏🙏
