Dog and Cat Adoption in the UAE: Meet Your Match in Al Ain

تبنّي كلب أو قطة في الإمارات

Every dog deserves a sofa, a name and someone who saves them the last bite of the chicken. (Not that we encourage that. Much.)

At Howler Pets in Al Ain, we run a working adoptions programme because we believe a trained, loved dog is far less likely to end up on the streets or in a shelter. Whether you are searching for dogs for adoption in the UAE or hoping to adopt a dog in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, we will help you find a dog that genuinely fits your home, your energy and your family. Cats are welcome too: ask us about the cats looking for homes. We share each pet's age, energy level and any special needs upfront, so there are no surprises on day one.

Breeds We Have Cared For

الكلاب التي اعتنينا بها

Our dogs change as they find homes, so message us for who is waiting right now.

Labradors

Friendly, eager and happiest as part of the family. Labradors are famously good with children and love a job to do, from fetch to training games.

Terriers

Small in size, big in personality. Terriers are bright, curious and full of opinions, and a great fit if you like a dog with character.

Huskies

Beautiful, vocal and wonderfully dramatic. Huskies need exercise, mental stimulation and an owner who understands the UAE climate. We will be honest about what that takes.

Dalmatians

Spotted, athletic and full of life. Dalmatians love activity and company, so they suit active households that enjoy long walks and play.

Adoption FAQs

الأسئلة الشائعة

How much does it cost to adopt a dog from Howler?

Howler House Pets does not charge adoption fees. We are a professional dog training and rehabilitation facility, and our adoption programme is part of our commitment to finding the right homes for dogs in need.

Which dogs and cats are available right now?

Our pets change as they find homes. You can see who is waiting on our Available for Adoption page, or message us on WhatsApp for the latest. We have cared for Labradors, terriers, huskies and Dalmatians, among others.

I live in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Can I still adopt?

Yes, you are welcome to. Adoption meetings are by prior arrangement, so tell us where you are coming from and we will plan a visit around you in Al Ain.

What documents do I need?

Proof of vaccination status, microchip details and proof of government registration.

Can I visit without an appointment?

We do not have fixed opening hours, and all visits and adoption meetings are arranged in advance. A quick WhatsApp message is all it takes.

Are your adoptable dogs rescue dogs?

Our adoptable dogs are abandoned or surrendered dogs that need a second chance. They are not part of our working or therapy dog programmes. Ask us about a particular dog and we will tell you what we know about their story.

What is the difference between adopting and buying a dog?

When you adopt, you give a dog a home that needs one, and you work with people who can tell you about that dog before you commit. A dog who is matched well and trained well is a dog who stays in a loving home for life.
