Our handsome boy is ready for his forever home in UAE or overseas in Europe. He is a sweet boy who loves his leashed walks and is not reactive to other dogs during his walks. He is also a lover of table scrapes and nachos ! (No of cos his foster is not feeding him that for his meals !). He loves his people, cats he is still unsure (he is not chasing but will not move past them). He is vaccinated and castrated and ready to fly !!

We love getting updates on our rescues in their forever homes! Here’s Saba hanging out with Heidi and both of them came from the same farm we rescued them from. ❤️❤️

Today Khajul learned to climb stairs. But then he got stuck cos the bossy cats downstairs decided to block him 😂

We really don’t understand why this beautiful boy does not have a forever home. Pls everyone share his album so we can find him a home !

Haykal really needs our help. He was rescued in Feb 2023 which means he has been looking for a home for 22 months ! During that period he has changed foster homes and have stayed at BarkPark Dubai ❤️ who kindly sponsors him. Despite his many moves, he quickly adjusted well. Haykal is an energetic boy who needs an active home. We think he’s better in a house with garden and able to go to secured dog parks to run. He is good off leash but can be reactive leashed. He improved a lot due to training from his wonderful fosters but of cos as now he’s in boarding he has less opportunities to go on leashed walks. So a patient and experienced home is necessary for this lovely boy who has a great personality. Friendly and sociable and loves people. Good with older kids who understand the breed. Halyal was found in the desert malnourished and scared but he has come such a long way and he knows the perfect home for him is waiting.

Many thanks to BarkPark Dubai for sponsoring him ❤️

Pls can we all share his story. He really needs a foster home now.

An update on our handsome boy Kajul. He is getting more confident and more settled in his foster home. He loves his walks and walks well on leash. An easy nice Saluki who is afraid of the house cats who are the boss in the foster home 😂. And he starting to monitor kitchen counter tops and dinning table in hope of any leftovers. 😂

She’s home.

After a tiresome 48 hours of not knowing if we could fly Saba to her new home in Germany due to a sudden change of policy with regards to weight, even though her flight was booked before the change of policy, we finally could fly her out and managed to organise everything on the day of the flight! She is now safe and sound with her new family for the 4 hour drive back to the adoptive parents’ home.

As always it takes a global village. Much gratitude to Kate Lindley of Paw Pals - Dubai for sponsoring her paperwork and time to organise everything for us and helping us fight to get her on that flight. Saba had the best foster in Dubai with Charlotte Poynter ❤️who took such good care of her and showered her with love and kindness so she could trust humans again despite being abandoned. To Sabine in Germany who help with the home check and for always supporting SRA and to Anna for being a fantastic and patient flight buddy ❤️❤️. Also to Jan Leitch of BarkPark Dubai who sponsored Saba’s stay before she move into foster home and also for gifting her travel crate ❤️. Last but not least to Dirk and Astrid who took the step to adopt their first Saluki from SRA and driving for 8 hours to bring her home! We are so happy with this rehoming as Saba will get to hang out with her friends from Dubai (Salukis Kurt and Heidi also from SRA) in the same town !

Thank you everyone. This is possibly the best Thanksgiving present! ❤️❤️❤️

We are looking for an experienced foster home for Sambuq. He is a friendly active dog who needs a foster home with another active friendly dog to keep him busy and we think he would love a jogging companion as well. He can be destructive if he’s bored so we do need an experienced foster home who can keep him busy with stimulating activities (snuffle mats, dog puzzles and the usual walks and off leash runs) and also to understand how to crate train him for quiet moments so he knows when it’s time to just chill out.

Sambuq is a sweet adorable cuddling monster great with people. With kids he’s generally fine but he can get jumpy over them when he’s excited so we think older kids are better for him. He loves his treats and his soft toys and sometimes random plastic things around the house ! He is a lovable hound who will make a great pet for an active family who has time for him for games, long walks and off leash runs. He is at BarkPark Dubai now under their sponsorship but we would love that he is in a foster home. ❤️🙏❤️

Look how gorgeous Rahul is here. When he was first surrendered he looked like a Saluki who hasn’t been exercising. He has been at BarkPark Dubai for a couple of months and all that off leash running and socialising with other dogs have done wonders for him. Look at his shiny coat and muscled body. But Rahul is still very timid and a little afraid of people. We don’t think he has been abuse, his companion Khajul came from the same place and Khajul is so easy and friendlier. We just think Rahul needs the right home environment to bring the best out of him.

So yes he needs a foster home ! We don’t know how he is like with kids and cats but he’s fine with other dogs so a foster with an easy friendly dog who can be a good influence is ideal. And a patient kind heart who will allow him to take his time to settle down. Vaccinated and castrated he is ready to leave his boarding.

Many thanks to for sponsoring his stay ❤️

Khajul is one half of the bonded pair who was surrendered to us. We had to separate them as it’s just impossible to find foster home so Khajul just moved yesterday to a home (thank you Ewe and family once again!). He is the sweetest boy ever. Shy gentle and quiet, so far no accidents in the house and learning to walk on leash.

He is so handsome as heck !!

An amazing update on Haya our 3 legged Saluki who went through hell and back into her amazing self! Here’s what her fabulous forever family who was with her all the way has to say:

“A couple of months ago,our beautiful dog Haya ended up snapping her leg in 2.

We never gave up on her and now she's the same as the rest of our pack of doggo. She was a rescue from Saluki Rescue Arabia thank you Rachel Hrh Thong for all your support and help during the time. Look at her now!”

Flight buddy needed Dubai to Berlin or Hamburg to take a rescued Saluki Saba to her forever home.

After many months Saba in Dubai who is in a foster home with Charlotte Poynter has found a wonderful home in Germany. I need someone willing to bring her there. Nothing for the flight buddy to do but provide information to us. All paperwork will be done by pet relocator.

Pls share!

We have such fabulous news !! Haya, our brave greyhound became a foster fail!!! I think we all knew this day would happen. Her foster family Pete Wilkinson and Jules together with their rescue dogs Poppy (who also came from SRA) and Rocky have been there physically and emotionally for Haya. Haya has been through so much - with multiple surgeries, let loose by an incompetent staff for 13 hours with temps in high 40s after her first surgery (yes we bloody not only change vet but refused the first vet offer for free surgery to fix her leg after her adventure being out in the heat and humidity), and more surgeries and all along she was always never complaining, being a good girl and loving her family constantly. We knew Pete and Jules would never let her go and despite that we could not guarantee how much money to raise Pete never demanded that SRA find the money he just paid all the bills and even said SRA could keep any money we raised. SRA managed to raised AED22k (out of aed40k from one vet) and we passed all the funds towards Haya’s bills. We are grateful that we managed to raise 50% and grateful to Pete for paying the huge balance (not to mentioned the first vet bill which he covered as well).

Haya was rescued after a year of barely living in a cemetery outside Dubai. Now she has a forever home and we know she will be forever happy in her home with Pete, Jules, Poppy and Rocky ! She is also getting used to her 3 legs and is loving her short runs in the dog park. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Pete and Jules and thank you to the vets and staff at The Vet Hospital for taking such good care of Haya ❤️❤️
