Saluki Rescue Arabia

An update on Bazyl, our red headed tall handsome boy. He is getting less scare of everything and slowly settling down. He is still very shy and he makes himself small to avoid attention and tend to stay away if guests visit the home and does not like to be pet by strangers although he shows no aggression. He's gentle and avoids conflicts whenever he can. He is getting better and we are taking it easy with him, giving him time to compress. He wasn’t house train when he first came into foster care but he does follow the other two Salukis outside to do his business. He does not engage with the kids at home but is not aggressive towards them. He ignores the two (very bossy 😂) cats in the foster home. We will give him time to compress before we decide what sort of home would be suitable for him.

Look at Mahab!! Playing Saluki style with Ramadi. Mahab (smaller grizzle male) is doing so well in foster care. He is sweet and quiet still, we are still learning about him. He has mastered walking up and down the stairs and hs charmed his doggie pals. He just got his booster shot which means we can now take him for leashed walks to see how he is.

Asal and Ramadi (also adopted from SRA) showing Mahab how to use the staircase !!

One of the first things we have to do with most of our rescues is teaching them to use the stairs as most would have lived in sandy areas and have no exposure to tiled floor or stairs. Here’s Mahab climbing down confidently with his teachers supervising ❤️

Gorgeous Sambuq is waiting for his forever home. He is now in a lovely foster home with a family with older children who are use to the sensitive Saluki breed whom he loves a lot. He also hangs out with the family female saluki whom he bets on very well. He can be leash reactive but has improved a lot and honestly we don’t see why that should be an issue as long as there is patience and a training routine. He goes to Bark Park Dubai to have off leash runs and he is great with the dogs there. He is probably around 2-4 years old but can be quite puppy like. He is very sweet and calm at home with the usual burst of zoomies !! His ideal home would be a family with older kids or a couple or single who has another dog as he loves doggie companion. Please pm us for more information.

An update on our boy (we change his name to Mahab which means wind in Arabic). He was also very windy when he arrived 😂He is slowly coming out of his shell. He climbed the stairs last night rather than being carried but did need carried down this morning. He does have separation anxiety so cannot be left alone for now. Because of his low immunity (prob never been vaccine) he has not gone for leashed walks. He did bark at the cat but not showing any aggression or desire to hunt her. He does get along with all dogs here in his temp foster and one of the dogs does not like him but Mahab just ignores him.
He is still frightened by sudden noises, movement etc. And is fine so far with older children. he’s really friendly and loves to be stroked. He’s got the makings of being a super Saluki, just needs patience and calm as he regains his confidence.

We need a foster for him !

Update : we got the funds !!! Thanks to our previous rescues who now live wonderful lives in Canada, Dubai and Germany Parker, Beckett, Bruno and Sary!

After almost 3 years without a home we have decided to send Haykal to a wonderful foster home in Finland. The foster home adopted from us and has lots of sighthound experience. Now we need your help to fly him to Helsinki. The airfare on Finair cost USD700 and we need to raise that money to sent him abroad. We have the crate sponsored by BarkPark Dubai ❤️ and usually we will find sponsor for all his paperwork. All we need now is to find sponsors for his flight !

Pls dm us or me Rachel Hrh Thong if you would like to help out. 🙏❤️🐶💵

A beautiful red male Saluki is looking for his forever home. Ahmar is a sweet boy around 2 years old who is cat friendly, walks well on a leash. He is now in a foster home with other sighthounds and is settling down slowly. House training in progress and doing well. Ahmar was surrendered to us, he has not been abuse and is a sweet boy. He will be neutered soon. He is a little afraid of everything now but we know he will settle down soon. Do let us know if you are interested in adopting him. We prefer sighthound experienced homes especially if it’s an overseas home.

Taruh slowly being introduced to new friends in a friend’s house with other Salukis. How sweet and adorable is this video ? We are seeking a foster home for our handsome boy. We will cat test him soon but so far with other dogs, with a slow intro he is fine with friendly dogs.

A beautiful young male (maybe 2 years old) grizzle was found with a rope in Dubai. Wonderful people rescued him and took him to their house last nite and today he went to the vet for a check up. Negative for tick disease so we vaccinated him, put a chip in and he had a nice bath. He was so sweet and patient and curious. Scared of cos and did not like the tiled floor which is normal behavior as he prob lived in sandy kennel or farm. Now we need your help as he needs a foster home to compress and learn how to be a pet. Can anyone help ? 🙏

We would like to bid farewell to Jamilah who recently gain her angel wings in the Netherlands. These words below is from her forever family and they say it all. Run free Jamilah!!

‘’Dear Jan and Rachel

When I saw her in a picture for the first time six years ago, I knew immediately: that's my dog. She's waiting for me. We'll be a very good match. I knew it. After her long journey, she arrived here in the Netherlands terrified. Afraid of everything. But that very first evening, she climbed onto the couch with me, into my arms. She immediately felt safe enough to do that. Every evening for the past six years, we watched television together like this. ( Oke, i was watching and she was sleeping)
Even though we took many walks, not only in the park, but also in the woods and on the beach, she preferred being inside the house. That's where she truly relaxed. It was clear that she was happiest there, safe with me. But now she couldn't stay at home anymore, she couldn't stay with me anymore, and yesterday she'd gone over the rainbow.
She couldn't get up on her own anymore. She couldn't walk anymore.

I'm so grateful for these six years with Jamilah. She was amazing! She was so precious to me. She felt safe with me and I loved her deeply. Of course, my heart is broken now, but I know that the many beautiful and wonderful memories will soon prevail.

I want to thank you for saving her and taking care for her and for putting me in touch with her. Thank you. ‘’
