Hi my name is Tisha and I hail from the country Oman. I am a sweet girl and I am told very lucky to have made the journey to the USA on June 19, 2021.
I was born in a paid foster home. My mother was not spayed and was rescued while pregnant. Although I have never lived on the streets my mom was a Omani street dog.
I am spayed, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations.
I am in foster care in Wadsworth, IL and my foster mom says I am super sweet – love all people including kids and am good with other dogs. I do well in my kennel and bond quickly. I am loyal and smart too. I hope to have the chance to show you how quickly I will learn your house rules.
I was born in September 2020 and I’m told I am a goofy, happy, and healthy girl who gets a long with other dogs. I am spayed, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations.

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.
