GREAT NEWS…… I am home. I have joined Aida, Enrique, Belen and Louis of Chicago, IL. I have finally found my people and the long journey was worth it.
Hi my name is Wolf and I hail from the country Oman. I am approximately 2 years old and am neutered, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations.
I arrive into Chicago on June 26, 2021 and will be fostered in Wadsworth, IL upon arrival. I am loyal, smart and loving and am good with all people and dogs and even cats! I can’t wait to find my family. Could it be you?
I was reported to the authorities which is typically a death sentence in my country. Luckily I was rescued by Omani Paws before I was removed…. usually by gun shot.

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.
