“...saw their dog on a Dubai website next to an appeal for her to be homed after being found on the street again in bad health.”

I wonder why there is a Dubai website appealing for homes for unhealthy street dogs. I thought Dubai was Muslim and that Muslim’s consider dogs to be unclean.

My understanding is that Westerners live in their own section or enclave and pretty much have all the amenities of western culture at their disposal.(including nightclubs that serve alcohol)

You are correct and life for a stray in a Muslim country is miserable. Perhaps this is the web site:



It reads like a group of Brits started the rescue.

History of K9Friends

1988 K9 Friends is formed by Carol Mather and run by a handful of volunteers, first by a landline phone in Carol’s house and then via a mobile phone.

Foster-homes care for the dogs and K9 Friends also pays for some kenneling in commercial kennels. K9 Friends continues operating and re-homing in this way for another 11 years."
