The issue of pet abandonment appears to be one that will continue to plague communities, causing many to say that a nation-wide awareness campaign is needed to educate people on animal welfare. It is so difficult to understand how pet owners who abandon their pets can be so heartless.

A new initiative is set to help abandoned dogs. The proposal is to create the first self sustainable rescue center in the UAE and address the ongoing concerns of animal abandonment due to people relocating out of the region or discovering that moving home may not allow pet ownership.
