As we recently welcomed the New Year, the theme for this week is, ‘A fresh start; new beginnings’. Although all the animals looking for a home will fit this category, there are some who have captured our emotions more and we feel they deserve this fresh start more than anything. Perhaps it is ones who have been waiting a long time, or a particularly sad case, or ones who found themselves without a home or even strays who deserve a new life.
Alaska - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Not a great deal is known about Alaska, which is sad in itself. He was in a foster home with other dogs but has since found himself in boarding for over a month, just wondering why and waiting for a family to call his own. For more information about Alaska, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com
Loki - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Loki is a lovely medium-sized boy. He is looking for a foster or forever home. He is almost two years old and is lovely, but can be skittish and nervous around some situations so he needs a calm and understanding family who know how to communicate well with dogs and understand their needs and their concerns. Loki loves children as well as other dogs. For more information about Loki, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com
Archer - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Beautiful Archer is still awaiting his forever home. He has now been in his foster home for a year. He is great with children and most other dogs. He is now almost three years old. House and toilet trained. He’s wondering why he’s having to wait this long for anyone to even ask about adopting him. He wants to be with a family in a home. He is one of the dogs we have had the longest. For more information about Archer, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com

Cherry is a wonderful, well adjusted lady. She is great fun to be around as she enjoys the company of any person and all animals as far as we can tell!

She loves nothing more than a cuddle and a belly rub. Cherry walks on a leash with ease and can sit, go down, wait, stay, fetch on command and is house trained.

BM - Wags & Purrs

Timothy - 38 Smiles
This young fella was found suffering with jaundice on the streets of Garhoud, Dubai. Lucky for him, we picked him up or eventually his kidneys would have shut down and he would have died. After a few weeks at the vet Timothy is as good as new. Having used up one of his nine lives, Timothy is ready for a new beginning and he really knows how to live life to the fullest, eating like a monster and running around until he collapses on the sofa next to you for a power nap! For more information about Timothy, please click here or contact 38 Smiles on info@38smiles.com
Ginger - 38 Smiles
Ginger was found with her face and body covered with burn wounds. She spent the whole summer at the vet recovering from her ordeal. She was later spayed and fully vaccinated and only recently was lucky enough to find a foster home. She has now started to show her true colours: friendly and loving and quite playful. Ginger is now a beautiful, well rounded playful cat. She is very interactive and affectionate. For more information about Ginger, please click here or contact 38 Smiles on info@38smiles.com
Chris - 38 Smiles
Chris is our Christmas rescue. He was found on December 24, frozen on the side of the road. He looked dead but he wasn’t, not just yet. The initial vet check showed he had been bitten on the back of his neck by a bigger cat. From the shock, the pain and the infection he was unable to move and was slowly fading away. For the first few days Chris could only lift his head slightly; sitting or standing was out of the question, all he wanted to do was eat. Now he can keep his head up, sit, stand and even walk around. Chris needs the most loving home a kitty can get. For more information about Chris, please click here or contact 38 Smiles on info@38smiles.com
Bart - Feline Friends
What luck that with a lack of communication from the vets, Bart was treated instead of being euthanised. Bart would like nothing more than to find his forever home. True cat connoisseur’s only need to apply! If you love olives, fine cigars, classical music, dark chocolate or black coffee then Bart might be the cat for you. For more information about Bart, please click here or contact Feline Friends on 050 4510058 or adoptions@felinefriendsdubai.com
Marshmallow - Feline Friends
Marshmallow has the sweetest nature and will give much love to her new carer. She is very timid and will take some time adjusting to her new surroundings. Her two daughters have been fostered so now it is just her and she would love a new family to love and take care of her, take the time to play with her and show her lots of affection. She will get on well with other cats if they are of a quieter disposition and she might even enjoy having the company of another cat, especially if her new owners are out at work/school most of the day. She is quite playful and loves to play football with her toys. For more information about Marshmallow, please click here or contact Feline Friends on 050 4510058 or adoptions@felinefriendsdubai.com
Dave and Leila - Feline Friends
Dave and Leila are gorgeous Persians; they are stunning to look at. These two need to be re-homed together as they are very reliant on each other. For more information about Dave and Leila, please click here or contact Feline Friends on 050 4510058 or adoptions@felinefriendsdubai.com
Mellie - Dubai Animal Welfare Society (DAWS)
Mellie is the mother of our two puppies Olivia and Fitz who where found in Al Ain. She is very friendly with people, little shy at first but comes around quick. She loves to play fetch and run around. Mellie is not very social with other dogs, could be due to the fact that she just had pups and hopefully will settle. Otherwise more training and proper socialising is highly recommended, as with any dog. Mellie would be fine to live in an apartment as she’s rather small. For more information about Mellie, please click here or contact DAWS on info.daws@gmail.com
Olivia and Fitz - Dubai Animal Welfare Society (DAWS)
These two sweet, little puppies are absolutely adorable. Olivia is the light brown coloured female and Fitz the beige coloured male. They are about three months old, Jack Russell size, maybe a bit taller when fully grown. Olivia and Fitz are very playful, love to cuddle with people and enjoy to be with other dogs! For more information about Olivia and Fitz, please click here or contact DAWS on info.daws@gmail.com
Blizzard - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Blizzard is a typical husky, very friendly but also very lively and full of energy. He has been in a home with three other dogs and therefore is very used to other dogs, but does need a home in a villa with access to a garden and somebody who is prepared to excercise him on a regular basis. For more information on Blizzard, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com
Olive - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Pretty girl Olive is ready to go to a foster home. She has now been spayed. Olive is very scared and feeling very down at the moment so a home with another very friendly dog, but non-invasive, would be excellent for her. A garden would also be needed because until she gains confidence we don’t think anyone will be able to walk her and we definitely don’t want her to escape as she would be very hard to catch. It took us six months to catch her. For more information on Olive, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com
Sherman - Animal Action Abu Dhabi
Meet Sherman, the doggy who along with his sister Edith, had been living in a concrete box! He was spotted being beaten by his owner when he no longer wanted him and luckily we were able to get him. He’s now in safe hands and so loving and kind. He is a sweet dog and just wants to lick you and kiss you. The adorable Sherman is looking for a foster or forever home. For more information on Sherman, please click here or contact Animal Action on animal.action@hotmail.com
