Who is Muscat Dog Adoption?

- Muscat Dog Adoption (MDA) is a dog rescue organization, established in 2012, run by a group of dog-loving volunteers in Muscat, Oman. We aim to rescue abandoned and injured dogs in Muscat. Once in our care, the dogs receive necessary veterinary treatment such as vaccinations against diseases, neutering/spaying, worm and flea treatment and any other treatment that may be required. The rescued dogs are then placed in a boarding facility in Muscat. We have a great team of dedicated volunteers who visit the dogs in their free time to walk and socialise the dogs, teach them basic commands and monitor their health and behaviour. This helps us to assess the dogs' personalities and determine what kind of home would be best suited for them. Some of our dogs are lucky to go into foster care which is great for them to have more one-to-one attention, be house-trained and have regular walks in a variety of environments.

The difficulty of animal rescue in Oman:

- Although Oman does now have an animal welfare law, the charity (Oman Animal Welfare Association) is still in the early stages of being set up and the government shelter has not yet been built. It is still therefore very challenging rescuing animals with limited resources.

The difficulty of rehoming dogs in Oman:

Local adoption rates are very low each year. Wadi dogs are not popular in Oman and are viewed by many as feral or just street dogs when in fact, wadi dogs make wonderful pets. They're incredibly smart, loyal and loving and all deserve a home and family of their own. Out of the many dogs, we rescue each year, less than a handful find homes locally. We are therefore hugely reliant on adopters abroad to find the forever-loving homes that our dogs deserve.
