Thank you ladies for sharing. I am a student at the WMA and I am writing an assignment paper on this topic and your opinions are most appreciated. I originally thought that rental pricing was affecting pet adoption and fuelling the abandonment issue. I did some research on rental pricing and there are plenty of places that will accommodate dogs to suit all budgets might not be the area one wants to live in but as you all said you make the necessary changes. It was also very interesting to hear when I called K9 friends and they said that adoption rates for apt dwellings weren't any lower either, that they home small dogs very quickly and are short of them. Very sad really

It's a tough one. We recently adopted our dog from K9 friends. Our rent will go up by at least 20% according to the RERA calculator. I am fortunate enough to be in position where my husband's company will absorb this hike. Had we not been in this position I would have probably not gone ahead with the adoption. Like you Lolacat I don't think its fair to have a dog in an apt unless its small. I just wonder how many pets are missing out on adoptions because of rental increases. Just not fair on the 4 legged population of Dubai if you ask me

I would love to hear your opinion / take on this dilemma As rental prices are going up and likely to further increase over the next 6 to 12 months is it fair to say that downsizing is happening a lot in Dubai right now? And if you are pet owner downsizing from a villa to an apt / or even moving from one apt to another pauses a major challenge in balancing the dogs welfare (quite a few areas with pet ownership restrictions in Dubai) and budget issues. Is anyone facing this problem? and if you did what did you do about it?
