The government ensures that all animals will be treated with care in accordance with international standards. All stray cats and dogs in the shelter will be implanted with a microchip, details of which are entered into a database. The database helps people find their pets in case they are lost. The shelter will neuter these animals. Although the location of the shelter is not finalized, it is said to be a full-fledged facility housed in seven buildings. The shelter also includes surgery and treatment rooms, as well as a quarantine station.

Save a Turtle
For over five thousand years marine turtles have provided food to coastal dwellers in the Gulf. Here is your chance to address the decline of turtles, an irreplaceable ecological resource in the Gulf region and beyond. By adopting a turtle, you contribute to the efforts of the EWS-WWF in the Gulf region. The proceeds from the project will focus on EWS-WWF Marine Turtle Satellite project and help identify the turtles’ nesting and feeding grounds in the Gulf. Adoption costs Dhs 200 which includes an adoption certificate, a cuddly soft toy turtle, a sticker, and complete information about the program you are supporting.
