Flora’s Rescue Story
Woof! I am a very lucky – super lucky! – rescued pup from Oman. I think that my brother and I must have guardian angels. It might be difficult for you to read and believe what I am about to share with you, but this is the story of my rescue. This is my past, but fate had a different plan for my future.
My brother, Blake, and I were 2.5 months-old when our rescuer, Nada, received a panicked phone call from laborers at a construction site. Nada knew that this was a ‘high alert area’ for rescue efforts, so she immediately went to the location. Every day, the construction workers had been feeding a pack of dogs that included my parents and all my siblings. The kind men fed us water and scraps from their own meals. Our pack survived due to their generosity! We always rested in the shade and provided some companionship to the hard-working laborers. This day, however, the men said that the said that the police had arrived at the location and were shooting the adult dogs. Yes, shooting them. To kill them.
Some of my pack members died immediately. Others were suffering. Nada and volunteers were able to bring a few of the dying dogs to the vet so they at least their suffering ended humanely. During all the chaos, some of the laborers approached Nada. The men were in tears. Not only was the entire situation horrific and upsetting, they were very worried about… the puppies. “Puppies? What puppies?” Nada replied with shock. They walked her over to their crude toilet room. Inside, she saw me and all my siblings. These wonderful men had somehow managed to hide us in their outhouse from the police. I told you – guardian angels!! Onlookers started showing up to the hectic, messy scene, and they started taking my siblings. The men begged Nada and the rescuers to help the last two pups, and of course, they did. My brother and I were saved!
We are now six months-old, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered. We have been in Nada’s excellent foster care, and we are happy, healthy pups. She said that I am an “amazing” girl who loves dogs and cats. I have a lot of practice playing with all my animal friends because I have over 20 foster siblings! I have a medium-high energy level and enjoy my walks. I also like splashing in the water! I am doing great with my leash-training and potty-training, and I know basic commands. Inside the house, I can stay quiet and calm with a chewy bone for hours! I am well-behaved and find cozy places to nap. Nada said that I am an easy-going, loving puppy who can be homed “anywhere” because I am such a pure delight. I can’t wait to meet you soon!
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. The government doesn’t have humane animal welfare laws, 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. It is a common practice. 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.
