A lovely description of Haykal from Jan who owns BarkPark Dubai. She has fostered Haykal many times and Haykal has also stayed at Bark Park Dubai for many months so she knows him very well. Thank you Jan ❤️❤️
“Meet Haykal – the Gentle Soul Who’s Been Waiting Far Too Long
Haykal is a smooth-coated Saluki with a heart as soft as his elegant frame. After over two years in kennels and foster care, this incredibly affectionate boy is still waiting for someone to give him the forever home he deserves.
Before rescue, Haykal lived a hard life – and the scars on his body quietly tell that story. But what’s remarkable is how gentle, trusting, and loving he remains. Despite all he’s been through, Haykal still believes in people. He just wants to be close, to be loved, and to give love in return.
He’s sweet-natured, intelligent, and eager to please – the kind of dog who thrives on human connection. In the home, he’s a dream: fully house-trained, respectful, and calm. He gets along beautifully with everyone he meets – including children and even cats.
Out on walks, Haykal can become a little overexcited and reacts when he sees other dogs, but he’s improving every day with time, structure, and patience. He’s responsive, clever, and wants to get it right – which makes him a joy to train and bond with.
He’s also an active boy who will flourish in a home that can offer regular exercise, mental enrichment, and space to stretch those long legs. A secure garden and an active lifestyle would be ideal for him.
And …… Haykal is a registered blood donor. That means he’s not only physically healthy, but he’s also helped other dogs in need — a quiet hero in his own right.
Haykal has so much love to give and has waited far too long. Whether you foster or adopt, this remarkable dog will fill your life with loyalty, gentleness, and soulful Saluki affection.
Let’s not make him wait another year — Haykal is ready to start his next chapter. 🤗 🐾 🐾
