There's two kinds of people - those who adopted a dog, and those who haven't adopted a dog... yet

There are dozens of cuddly canines up for adoption at animal shelters across the UAE.
But why an animal shelter and not a pet store? Well - you save a life, you help in reducing the pet overpopulation in Dubai, you can choose from a wide selection of pups and dogs, you adopt a pet who received great love and care, you're supporting a charity/animal community centre, and it also encourages others to adopt not shop!
K9 Friends, the country's longest-running dog rescue centre, have eight dogs who are looking for a forever home. Apart from these dogs being utterly lovable, they aren't just your typical "Spot", "Buster", "Lady", and "Duke" - their given names are also utterly unique.
1.) Sultan
Meet Sultan! A hopeful rags-to-riches story, Sultan was rescued from the road by a kind man and the team at K9 Friends saved his life. He needed to go straight to the vet suffering from severe dehydration but made a full recovery. He's a nearly 4-month old bouncy, playful, and friendly puppy who will be neutered at 6 months.
Find him at K9 Friends!
2.) Tulsi
Hi, Tulsi! Found in an industrial area with her siblings, this playful desert mix puppy is perfect for any pawrents out there. She’s nearly 4 months now and will be neutered at 6 months. Hopefully, she has her forever family by then.
Visit her at K9 Friends!
3.) Wilma
Hello, Wilma! This 4-year-old girl thought she had her forever home... but was sadly left behind when her family relocated. Wilma is a calm and gentle labrador mix who is neutered and house trained.
Find her at K9 Friends.
4.) Bennet
This is Bennet! He was rescued with his momma on an industrial site. Playful and sweet, this lil black and white desert mix is a perfect family pet! He'll be neutered at 6 months, and he's waiting for you at K9 Friends.
5.) Kamala
Meet Kamala! She's a pretty Collie mix who needs someone to help build her confidence. This 2-year-old girl came to the rescue shelter with her puppies and is gentle, shy and affectionate. She’s seen her puppies grow up and is now neutered and ready for her forever home.
Visit her at K9 Friends if you think this might mean you!
6.) Laila
