GREAT NEWS …. Bear is HOME!! Bear was rescued from the streets of Oman by Omani Paws rescue. This week she joined the family of Dawn Daylor.
Dawn’s relative recently adopted an ISDF rescue named Madison and they fell in love with her. They started to follow ISDF adoption postings and when they saw Bear they KNEW. They loved her before she even arrived.
When Dawn and family met Bear the love was overwhelming – she was everything they imagined and MORE. Precious beyond words. It’s these magic moments when dogs meet their forever families that make it all worth it. An emotional happy union destined in the stars.
Thank you to Nada and Varsha from Omani Paws for working so hard and selflessly day in and day out to make these miracles happen. Thank you to Johannes for being her flight volunteer. Most importantly thank you to the Daylor family for opening their hearts and home to Bear.
You too can save a life.

The wadi dogs we have received from our Omani rescue partners to date have made excellent family dogs; they are social, athletic, intelligent, and very loving towards adults and children alike. Some of these puppies are currently being fostered in households with cats, too.

Oman is an Arab country in the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It has wonderful national treasures, vivid landscapes… and thousands of “wadi”–or street–dogs. These wadi dogs can be seen virtually everywhere. Unfortunately, they face the same plight as dogs in many Muslim countries where they are generally viewed as unclean and not fit to be pets. Dog ownership is rare, and when they are owned, dogs are usually not allowed in the house. Pets are viewed more commonly as guard dogs who roam the outside vicinity of the property.
Humane animal welfare laws don’t exist in Oman, and, worse yet, police have open rights to shoot “any and all” street dogs. There is no requirement that the dogs have to be a nuisance or sick; rather, they will be killed just for having the unfortunate luck of being born on the streets in Oman. Many wadi dogs suffer a slow, painful death caused by festering gunshot wounds. If a gunshot does not kill them, street dogs die of disease, starvation, abuse by people, vehicles, and extreme weather conditions. In the summer, the temperature can easily soar to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Most Omani street dogs do not survive beyond the age of three.
