Spray & Neuter Awareness !

-
U A E like many other countries, deals with the problem of overpopulation of homeless cats and dogs. But, unlike many other countries, it is twice as difficult to solve the overpopulation problem here.

During our time spent in animal rescue work, we noticed that this is mainly due to various misconceptions regarding Spay/ Neuter (or Sterilization), which is the only humane solution to the problem of overpopulation. So, when a pet has an unwanted litter, people dump the pet and the litter on the road to starve and die. The ones who survive against all odds, are who we call strays/ street dogs. Their suffering on the streets then begin as they are left to fend for themselves.

A second issue we came across is the negative stigma some United Arab Emirates  tend to have towards homeless dogs and cats! Many would prefer to pay a Breeder or a Pet Shop (also contributors to the overpopulation problem) for a “purebred” dog or cat instead of adopting a “stray”. Also, many do not realize the cruelty behind Pet Shops and 

Breeders, where puppies are bred and kept under cruel conditions and sold off to irresponsible owners. Irresponsible owners then go looking for dogs to “cross” their pet with, to produce and sell even more litters. The knowledge on backyard breeders and inbreeding is clearly absent. Thus, people keep spending money to buy genetically deformed or sick dogs who suffer and die a painful death.

These are the 2 reasons why we decided to create Spay and Neuter Awareness, and we still have a long journey ahead! The page addresses the misconceptions regarding Spay/Neuter and Breeders while promoting Responsible Pet Ownership and Adoption of homeless animals. 
We hope all the animal lovers and rescuers out there join us to end the suffering of street animals and “purebred” animals, by raising the much needed awareness of Spay and Neuter.Animals in UAE. .

Pledge Water for Birds and Animals this Summer !

We placed  couple of clay bowls around 3-4 inches deep in and around our stray animals feeding stations in al nuaimiya 1 - 3 Ajman, UAE. Clay bowls are better than plastic or metal bowls because the water stays very cool even when temperature is touching 45- 50 degrees Celsius. When water puddles dry up during the summer –  birds are known to collapse from dehydration . Also clay pots are unlikely to be stolen if used in public places for stray animals.Do place bowls of water wherever possible. Even if you don’t like birds, this is the cheapest and most convenient way to do your bit for the environment.
