Stray Dogs Center hasn't added a story.
SOS for Emirates Dogs also known as The Center for Stray Dogs
UAQ, was formed out of an urgent need to address the stray animal
population in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain. Founded in 2013, SOS is
a licenced, non-profit organisation.
Primarily, the main aim of SOS is to ensure a safe and healthy
community through addressing the stray animal population in a humane way.
At the onset, SOS began rescuing and rehoming stray dogs and
cats. However, the extent of the stray animal problem saw a feeding
programme established in September 2013 to support street, dumpsite,
industrial and costal stray animals including Donkeys, Camels and
Cows. Four safe houses were set-up and fosters sought whenever
possible to manage the every increasing rescue efforts.
A bold move was made in March 2014, to open a "No
kill" private shelter. This move gave SOS the ability to rescue
a larger number of animals than was possible beforehand. From 2013
to 2015 over 700 animals including, dogs, cats, birds and a donkey
have been rescued and 450 animals have been rehomed.
Active lobbying of the Umm Al Quwain Government began in
February 2014 with a now successful collaboration with ongoing
Police support in the rescue of animals. The negotiations resulted
in the Government granting land to build our Center for Stray Dogs,
situated in Al Surrah, Umm Al Quwain.
Through Social Media SOS gained huge momentum over the past
year. With no funding, public support plays a pivotal role in the
success of SOS. The support has been absolutely amazing and has
enabled SOS to operate and save many lives.
