Hi my name is Kabir and I am a sweet boy rescued from the country Oman. I am arriving into Chicago on June 19, 2021.
I am good with cats, other dogs and all people including kids. I have been told I am a little on the submissive side but have a great temperament. I hope to have the opportunity to show you what a good boy I am and how quickly I will learn your house rules.
I was found being beaten by kids and was rescued by Omani Paws before the kids could do any permanent damage. I know I have many guardian angels and that my destiny is greater than living on the streets. I am meant to be a pet dog.
I am current on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. I am fostered in Wadsworth, IL.

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.
