FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTION – MAISIE 🧡

Will you please give Maisie’s post a like or share to show her she IS beautiful? Or how about a home? 🥹

📍 Currently in boarding in Dubai | Available for foster or adoption across the UAE and overseas

It’s so sad. Maisie is worried she’ll never get adopted because some mean people on the internet have decided her underbite is ugly 😞

So we have a little message for Maisie:

Being different is beautiful. And your wonky little smile is one of our favourite things about you 🥹

And there’s so much more to Maisie than her goofy smile 😁

At two years old and just 14kg, she’s a petite little package of personality. She’s affectionate, playful and loves being close to her people.

She’s fully toilet trained, walks beautifully on the lead and is happy to potter along by your side. At home, she sleeps happily in her crate at night and spends her days choosing between the sofa, bed or a sunny spot.

Maisie loves toys, playing and other dogs. She previously lived with another dog and the two became best friends — although their games occasionally got a little too enthusiastic! 😂 She’s also very happy meeting dogs on walks.

Cats? Outside she looks at them. No drama. Moving on. So we think she’d be fine at home with a feline friend 😻

She’s friendly with visitors, is happy being left alone and generally settles down for a snooze. She’s still learning that not everything in the house is a chew toy, so keeping tempting things out of reach is recommended!

She can be a little unsure of unfamiliar noises, but overall she’s a sweet, affectionate and genuinely lovely girl who has brought her foster families so much joy. She even discovered the dog beach and absolutely loved it ❤️

Maisie is vaccinated, spayed and ready for someone who sees the whole dog — including her beautiful smile 🥰

Will you help us show Maisie that being different doesn’t make her less lovable? 🧡

OUR PUPPIES & JUNIORS ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES 🐾 🐕

Young, curious, energetic, occasionally chaotic… and very ready to have a home of their own ❤️

From babies to young dogs finding their feet, we have a whole group of puppies and juniors currently looking for foster or forever homes 🧡

And yes, they’re young. That means training, routine, patience and a little bit of chaos are all part of the package. But it also means you get to watch them grow, learn and become the dog they’re meant to be.

🏡 FOSTERING

Fostering gives a puppy or young dog a proper home environment while they wait for their forever family.

You don’t need to be an experienced dog owner — you just need the time, commitment and willingness to help a young dog learn.

We provide:
• Veterinary care through our partner vet
• Foster supplies
• WhatsApp support throughout your placement
• Behavioural guidance from our team
• Advice on toilet training, leash training and settling in

Our usual minimum foster period is 4 weeks, giving them time to settle into a routine.

❤️ ADOPTION

All our dogs are adopted on a 4-week trial period, so you have time to make sure the match works for everyone.

The adoption fee is 1,500 AED, paid directly to the vet after the trial period. This covers vaccinations, microchip, passport and neutering.

Overseas adoption can also be possible.

WHO CAN FOSTER OR ADOPT?

Families, couples, singles, experienced dog owners and first-time dog owners can all be considered.

Have another dog? A cat? Children? Work full-time? That’s ok! We’ll help match you with a dog whose personality and needs are appropriate for your home.

Every dog is different — and that’s why we take the matching process seriously.

🐶 Interested in one of our puppies or juniors?

Start with our short online form — it takes around 2 minutes:

👉 https://aauf.ae/form

Once your application is received, our team will be in touch about the next steps and which dogs could be a good fit for you.

Foster. Adopt. Give them the chance to grow up in a home, not a shelter. 🧡

FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTION – NORI ❤️

📍 Currently in boarding in Dubai after losing his home, urgently in need of a home | Available for foster and adoption across the UAE

You may remember Nori. In fact, you might recognise him from the absolutely adorable puppy photos at the end of this post… because almost a year ago, this gorgeous boy was just a tiny little puppy 🥹

Fast forward, and somehow he’s already one year old. And whilst we thought his story was complete, his happy ending found… saldy that is no longer the case 😞

Nori was given up after his family decided he was no longer the right fit for their home. He has found himself in boarding, having to adjust to a completely different life than he had grown to love 😞

Nori is an absolutely beautiful dog - just look how handsome he is! He has the most soulful eyes, a huge heart and a lovely, sweet personality.

He’s a little shy and cautious at first but is friendly and just wants to be loved. He’s great with other dogs & loves spending time with his handlers — whether that means playing, getting attention or simply having someone around.

He settles well in his kennel, sleeps peacefully through the night & and has been just lovely in boarding. For a young dog who has had so much change in his first year, he’s doing remarkably well.

And honestly? He SO deserves a second chance.

Nori is still young. He’s still learning. He still has some of that youthful energy & enthusiasm that comes with being a one-year-old dog. What he needs now isn’t perfection — he needs someone who understands that bringing a young dog home takes patience, consistency & time.

Someone who will let him settle. Someone who will help him learn. Someone who will show him that this time, he’s home for good 🧡

Because behind those soulful eyes is a really special dog. And he has his entire life ahead of him.

We just need to find the person who’s willing to give him the chance he deserves.

🆘 URGENT — FOSTER OR ADOPTION NEEDED FOR DUBLIN 🆘

How much longer does Dublin have to wait? 💔

His siblings found their families.
Other dogs have come and gone.
And Dublin is still here. Still waiting. Still going back to boarding. 😭

At just 1 year and 10 months old, far too much of Dublin’s young life has already been spent without a home to call his own.

And the heartbreaking part? We KNOW how happy he is in a home. ❤️

Dublin has had some wonderful foster homes and every time, we get to see the dog he really is: an incredibly loving boy who bonds deeply with his people. Once he trusts you, he gives you his whole heart. He’ll follow you around, stay by your side and become your little shadow, your best friend, your biggest fan. 🥺

He desperately misses having that.

He has previously lived happily with children and other dogs and really enjoys canine companionship. He can be nervous when unfamiliar people enter the home, so he needs someone patient who will let him feel safe at his own pace.

Dublin also struggles with separation anxiety because of how deeply he attaches to his humans. He needs a home where he won’t regularly be left alone for long periods and someone willing to help him slowly build his confidence.

After so much time in boarding, he may need a refresher with his training and routine. But please don’t let that be the reason he keeps being overlooked. These are things that can be worked on. What he cannot get back is the time he is losing. 💔

Dublin doesn’t need a perfect home.

He needs someone to finally choose him.

Someone to look at him and say: you’re not going back to boarding again. 🥺❤️

Please, if you can foster Dublin — even temporarily — or think you could be his forever person, reach out.

And if you can’t foster or adopt, PLEASE SHARE. His person could be one share away. 🙏

FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTION – FANTA 🩵

Fanta has been waiting far too long for his forever home. He’s spent several months in foster, with some time in boarding over the summer, and has made incredible progress along the way. ❤️

Fanta is a gentle, sensitive soul who needs a little time to feel safe. He might not run into your arms straight away, but once he trusts you, he becomes the sweetest little shadow. 🥹

At home, he’s chilled, affectionate and loves being near his people. He follows his foster mum while she works, enjoys cuddles and happily settles on his own bed.

And there is SO much to love:

✅ Mostly toilet trained — uses puppy pads on anxious days
✅ Really good on the lead
✅ Sleeps through the night
✅ Fine alone for up to 5 hours
✅ Eats brilliantly
✅ Great with other dogs
✅ Unbothered by cats on walks
✅ Positive with children so far
✅ Gentle, loving and cuddly

His biggest challenge is still confidence. Loud or unfamiliar noises and sudden movements can scare him, and he can be nervous around visitors. He also takes longer to trust men than women.

For now, his foster family is continuing to build his confidence on everyday walks before introducing bigger adventures. He’s already come such a long way. ❤️

Fanta may also have a mild allergy that is still being investigated, so he currently uses a special shampoo.

He doesn’t need someone to force him to be brave — just patience, routine, love and time to blossom at his own pace. A calm, confident doggy friend could also be wonderful for him. 🐶

Please don’t overlook Fanta because he’s shy. Sometimes the dogs who take a little longer to trust become the most special companions of all. 🥹❤️

⚠️ URGENT FOSTER LIST - HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO HELP 🐶❤️

Fostering can change a dog’s life — and you don’t need to be ready to adopt to make a difference.

For many dogs, a foster home is the bridge between kennels & their forever home. It gives them space to settle, learn home life and show potential adopters who they really are ❤️

SO, HOW DOES IT WORK? 🤔

🏠 You provide a safe, loving home, plus patience, routine, exercise and plenty of love.

📅 The usual minimum is 4 weeks, giving a dog time to settle and build confidence. Shorter placements may sometimes be possible.

❤️ You’re not expected to adopt. Fostering is temporary, until a forever home is found — although we won’t blame you if you fall in love!

🐶 WHO CAN FOSTER?

Singles, couples, families, people who work, apartment dwellers & homes with other dogs or cats can all potentially foster.

We’ll match you with a dog suited to your circumstances, including children, other animals and being left alone.

AND YOU’RE NOT ON YOUR OWN!

📱 Access to a foster WhatsApp support group

🩺 You don’t pay any vet bills. Foster dogs receive veterinary care through Petzone Vet Clinic on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

🥣 We provide essential supplies to help you get started

🎓 Behaviourist from Ginger’s Way provides WhatsApp advice and Zoom support when needed

🏡 Discounted boarding is available at Bed & Biscuits & Dog House if required

WHY DOES FOSTERING MATTER? 💞

Because a kennels can keep a dog safe — but a home can show them how to live.

A foster placement can help a nervous dog gain confidence, give a puppy the routine they need, or give an overlooked adult dog the chance to be seen for who they really are.

And every foster space you open up can create space for another dog who desperately needs our help.

READY TO SEE IF YOU COULD FOSTER? 🌟

The first step is a quick online form — around 2 minutes and no obligation.

👉 Register here: https://aauf.ae/form

We’ll chat with you and help find the right match.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a little space, a little time and the willingness to help ❤️

Could you be the home one of our dogs has been waiting for? 🤞
