This animal shelter is looking for volunteers to Paint
Stray Dogs Center, a private animal shelter in the UAE, is seeking volunteers to help beautify their shelter through painting Pacifica murals. Led by David Tito-Nekeare, this event is set to take place on Saturday, April 22 at 9am at the Stray Dogs Center in Umm Al Quwain.
The shelter, which was established in 2013, relies solely on public support to operate and currently houses and cares for 780 dogs, 15 cats, and 4 wonky donkeys. Their commitment to animal welfare in the UAE has been nothing short of miraculous, with thousands of dogs rescued and rehomed through their efforts.
Recently, the Stray Dogs Center opened a new free run area for the dogs that are housed farthest from the main sanctuary free run. Previously, these dogs had to be leashed and taken to the sanctuary free run area. Now, they can enjoy a larger space to run and play.
But the shelter’s work is far from over, and they need your help to continue their journey. By volunteering to paint Pacifica murals at the Stray Dogs Center, you can make a meaningful contribution to animal welfare in the UAE. Stencils have been drawn and color codes marked, all waiting to be brought to life by willing volunteers.
