Story

Hi, I’m Archie and I've got a party trick: one brown eye, one blue eye, and a tail that never stops wagging. I was found wandering the streets of Qatar—collar still on, heart still hopeful—so odds are someone dumped me, but hey, I’m not dwelling on it. I’m friendly, playful, and absolutely thrilled to meet new people, especially if you come bearing treats or belly rubs. I do great with other dogs, kids too, and I’ve got that classic Husky energy that pairs perfectly with an active human. If you’re looking for a blue-eyed goofball with a heart of gold, I’m your guy. I'm still in Qatar, but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter soon! I can't wait to meet you!

Story

Hey, I’m Gerald—57 pounds of pure sunshine in a dog suit. Born on the streets of Bahrain and raised in a crowded shelter, I somehow missed the memo that life was supposed to be hard. I greet everyone (humans, dogs, cats, you name it) with a wagging tail and a face that says, “Isn’t life just the best?” I’m four years old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to bring my boundless energy and golden retriever-level enthusiasm to an active home. I love walks, thrive on attention, and basically consider myself your built-in hype man. I’m available for transport after Sept 10—so if you’re into joyful chaos and affectionate goofballs, I’m your guy. I'm still in Bahrain but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I can't wait to meet you soon!

Story

Anna is a true survivor! She was found alone and struggling to survive with a very severe wound to her back right leg. The injury was so bad the bones were exposed and damaged.. We cannot imagine what Anna endured. Anna was brought into rescue and had her back leg amputated to help her live a better life. Through everything Anna has been calm and loving. She walks very well on lead and loves to take leisurely strolls. She is already to melt into you for some cuddles afterward. Anna is wonderfully friendly with other dogs. She would make an amazing companion to humans and other dogs alike. You won't help but smile when you see her happy tail wagging slowly all day because she's just so thankful to be alive. Anna is currently in Qatar but she can be transported to an approved foster or adopter at no extra cost. We would love to get her to the US at the end of January 2026. Can you help? Could you be the one to give Anna the safety and love she so deserves?
