Hi
I got a call yesterday from someone who said the dog was theirs... bit of a strange story - he said that their lady friend left Dubai and gave the dog to them and they took it back to their villa and when the gate was opened, before they could do anything, it ran out and they tried to catch it but it ran faster the more they chased it and they lost it. He said he had photos of the dog and were happy to go to the police station or do whatever I wanted to prove that it was theirs, but then in the next breath he said if I wanted to keep it - I could...
Well, I can't as we already have six dogs but I'm happy to keep it (it gets on fine with our dogs, so that's not a problem, but i really don't want another dog and lots of people are wanting it if no-one claims it) until we find the true owner or a good home if the owner has left.
He didn't speak very good english and I'm not sure if I understood the whole conversation or if he understood what I was trying to say - it was very confusing. If you can talk Arabic or make yourself understood, perhaps you could call him and find out the full story. Thanks

Hi again
the dog was found yesterday about 11am - the best way to describe where is... if you go from sh zayed rd past mall of the emirates to al khail road then you turn left at al khail and she was quite close to the next roundabout... on the road! I'm not sure what the area is called - sorry.
I'll try and get her to one of the vets tomorrow and see if she has a chip.
Lindiwe, I got the picture from dubizzle already. Please let me know which day the dog was found and approximate timing as no more information are available in the AD, also the AD itself on dubizzle doesnt have much information, any idea around which area in Al Khail road (street no..), as you are saying that it is near villas for local families.. Any additional information will help.
I will post his photo tonight on facebook pages but you also need to put a telephone no. on dubizzle so people know whom to contact if they know the dogs' owners.
As for microchip, SueB replied to that :)
there are 3 vets in your area. Energetic Panacea, across and down from the main post office on Al Wasl. Al Safa Vets just past Al Manara rd..and Jumeriah Vet clinic on jB road. :) They will all check for a chip for you ...you dont have to take him to the Municipality.
Thanks so much for the helpful reply JS. I'm sure it must've run out the gate or something and crossed the two big roads and got lost. It's in good condition and quite a plump little thing so it's obviously been well looked after.
I posted a picture on dubizzle on the pets - lost and found ... how can I get one to you please?
Also, do you know where I can check the microchip - we're in Jumeirah and I don't have time in the next few days to go the Municipality Vet in Rashadiya, which is the only one I know of...
Thanks again
A tough question :P
1st thing your friend needs to do is to check if the dog is micro chipped and if so, then the job will be much easier and locating his owner won’t be hard.
I can also help but you need to send me a picture of the dog, where exactly he was found and when (day and time), I can create a poster and spread it on all facebook pages (vets, K9 and also some UAE national groups).
There are few UAE national groups who try to create awareness about animals in the UAE and they are my friends on facebook so I can post the poster on their walls.
I hope the dog is lost and not dumped!!
My friend found a little dog on al khail road yesterday - please if anyone knows the owners, let me know. It is a cute little dog, it looks as though it has been well cared for but was very hungry and thirsty when he found her. There were no houses close by, but he thinks it might belong to a local family as he thinks it is mainly locals that live in the area closest to where he found her. I'm sure someone is missing their little baby and I'm not sure what to do. What might a local do to locate their pet - does anyone know?
Thanks!
