The Mussafah Dog Project Volunteers who feed and care for homeless animals in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi
Amazon: https://rb.gy/0kztpc Who are we? Wait, what’s TNR? Why Mussafah? How can I help?

A small, determined group of people on a mission to solve the overpopulation of dogs in Mussafah, using the TNR method. TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return. We will be focusing on the male dogs as they recover more quickly from the procedure. It’s the best way to control the problem before it gets completely out of hand. It goes like this:

-Male dogs are trapped humanely.
-They are then neutered

at the Pet Oasis veterinary clinic.
-They are placed into a temporary foster home until they’ve recovered.
- After that, they are returned to the safest possible area. Mussafah is an industrial area hemmed in by main roads, which makes it hard for homeless dogs to migrate on their own. It has become a massive breeding ground and the number of dogs is in the hundreds! What kind of dogs are in Mussafah? Normally, the dogs in Mussafah are very afraid of people. They are very street wise and know not to go to dangerous areas. If you see a stray dog in Mussafah, please slow down while driving as they may be frightened and run into oncoming traffic. If you see a dog hit by a car, please notify us immediately so we can help if you’re not able to bring the dog to the vet yourself. Dogs in Mussafah typically migrate to different areas in their pack so it is common to see them in large groups. It is advised that you do not approach the dogs but instead, take a picture, pin the location and send us a message of where you spotted a dog. We can then inform you on whether we recognize them and if they are cared for and supervised by our group. Dogs in Mussafah are mixed breed and typically grow to be medium sized. We need sponsors, volunteers and at times, adoptive families. For more information, drop us a message!

💔Story of ROXY💔

ROXY, a Husky-Retriever Mix was brought by his previous owners to a groomer for grooming almost a year ago. Least did he know that, that would be the last time he would see his family. His previous owners left him there to get groomed and never came back for him. 😔

The groomers tried to get in touch with the owners only to know that they had already left the country only to abandon him at the groomers. This poor innocent boy didn't know that at the age of 4yrs old that the crate at groomers salon would be his home for what would be a year long time.

It was kind of the groomers not to abandon him on the road or give him to random people. They fed him and took care of him, timely grooming him but he spent months after months in that crate.

We got a call from one of the lady who saw this boy there for months when she would take her dog to be groomed. When she heard that ROXY, now 5 yrs old had spent almost a year there she requested us to help him get a home. And who would be heartless enough to ignore this request so we decided to help him in a heartbeat.

ROXY, is a retreiver by nature in a husky's body if one has to explain his behaviour. He is smart, calm and curious. He loves cuddles and seems to love the little things in life. HE DOES NOT BARK or HOWL😍 and loves to give u the paw when u give him chest rubs. He clearly yearns for love.

✅️ Vaccinated, Microchipped
️✅️ Dewormed, tic treated
✅️ Neutered
✅️ good with other dogs
✅️ good with children
✅️ can be left alone for upto 7hrs
✅️ good on the leash (a bit excited but not aggressive at all as its all new to him)

Roxy, is a very loving boy. He is easy going and will appreciate the love and care that he will be given. He is currently with a foster family and they have all good things to say about him. 😍Kindly fill in our questionnaire below , if you would like to make Roxy ur family member.

❗️Parker needs a foster home❗️

Parker was found abandoned on the streets mid December just before the holidays began. The workers in the area called us to help. He isnt much of a foody and has been loosing weight in the kennels.

He was taken to vets, cleared for his health checks, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and tic treated. He is now even Neutered.

He has been in boarding for a while now and desperately needs a foster home. He is fine with other dogs but would prefer to be only furbaby as he loves to cuddle and sleep and get all the attention. Sometimes he skips meals due to which we desperately want him to go into a foster where he can get personal care.

‼️6-7 week old pups need homes asap‼️

6 out of 12 puppies that were rescued last week are still in kennels and some are glued to the walls in fear. Sadly they had to be rescued due to emergency situation and unfortunately they had to be separated from their mom when they were barely 6-7 weeks old. They will grow upto be medium sized dogs.

Two of them shiver in the boarding room, pups this young shld not be left by themselves for such long periods. A home with someone home will surely be better for them. They are not toilet trained and cannot be left alone for long.

They are microchipped and have been given initial vaccines. They do not need walks just yet as they are still too young but will need them in 3 weeks time or so.

Kindly fill in our questionnaire below , if you would like to make one of these munchkins ur family member. Please press Submit in the end of the questionnaire

😍ISABELLA is FINALLY ADOPTED😍

Remember ISABELLA, she was one of the factory pups rescued in December 2023... yes that long ago!!!

We posted her so many times and barely got any interest in her. We saw her change from crazy hyperactive pup to a fully trained girl who loves children.... and she finally got adopted in a perfect family with 3 hooman siblings who keep her totally busy with cuddles and games. She has made friends in her community and goes on walks together 😍.

This girl who was initially given up by many fosters because she was hyperactive only needed that 1 stable home where with training and boundaries she today is the easiest dog to be have as an addition to your family.

We are so happy for her that she has found a perfect family.

💔TOPSY NEEDS A RETIREMENT HOME 💔

Partially blind TOPSY was abandoned on the streets to die at the age of 12-13 years old. He was found not only blind but with 3 of his teeth hanging lose. Thankfully he has found a lovely foster.

When his owners were tracked thinking he is a lost/missing dog, they refused to ever own him😓. When confronted they just said that he was sold off to a petshop so he is not their property anymore. How can one have a pet for 12-13 years and then leave them to die like this is beyond us.

His blood works look good so internally he is a strong boy however he is partially blind and will need wet food as 3 of his teeth had to be extracted.

He is a calm, relaxed dog. Little confused as he isn't sure what has happened but is coming around. He is good with other calm dogs, a house with puppies or active dogs might be too much energy for this little old man. Neutered and dental scalling done.

If you can open your hearts to this boy and give him last few years of love and care, kindly fill in our questionnaire below and press Submit in the end👉 https://forms.gle/GqzKgeTdYbecsHrG6

🚨 THESE BABIES ARE URGENTLY LOOKING FOR FOSTERS AND ADOPTERS 🚨

With 12 pups total besides a busy highway, we are at a loss about what to do! We can’t take them all unless we have some potential homes lined up for them as we don’t have a shelter or anywhere for them to go 😔😭

If you follow our page you know last summer we lost 2 puppy litters as they were “taken” never to be seen again. And we all know what happened to them.

Please help us save them as the more they grow and begin to wander the lesser chance they have of survival. So unless they can be taken from site, they will not survive and soon be either taken away by pest control or come under trucks on the highway😭

Help Us Help Them.

Share to anyone you know looking to foster or adopt so that we can save these babies!!! They will be vaccinated, health checked, dewormed and microchipped.
