Pet Adoption in Dubai - Find Dogs & Cats Looking for Homes

At TEEF Pet Services, we believe every animal deserves a loving home. That’s why we partner with trusted adoption centers across Dubai to showcase pets in need. Whether you’re searching for a playful puppy, a gentle senior dog, or a curious cat, here you’ll find animals waiting for their forever family. By adopting, you change a life—and we’re here to help you care for them once they’re home.

 

Why Adopt a Pet in Dubai


Adopting a dog or cat in Dubai is more than just bringing home a companion—it’s giving an animal a second chance at life. Every year, countless pets across the UAE are abandoned, surrendered, or rescued, and many wait in shelters hoping for a family. By choosing adoption, you’re helping reduce the number of homeless animals and supporting local rescues that dedicate their time and resources to animal welfare.

Adopted pets often show an incredible sense of loyalty and gratitude. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a gentle senior dog, or a curious kitten, each adopted pet comes with a story—and the chance to become part of yours. Beyond saving a life, adoption is also a more ethical and sustainable choice than buying from unverified breeders or pet shops.

In Dubai, adoption fees are usually modest and cover essential care such as vaccinations, microchipping, and sometimes spaying or neutering. This ensures your new family member is healthy and ready for their forever home.

How the Adoption Process Works

 

The process is simple, transparent, and designed so you (and the pet) feel confident every step of the way.

 

Step 1: Apply

Fill out a short form with the shelter to express interest. We’ll help you gather what’s needed.

 

Step 2: Meet & Greet

Meet the pet in person (or virtually, depending on the shelter), spend some time to see if their personality feels like a good match.

 

Step 3: Home Check

A light screening to make sure the home environment is safe and suitable. This can include space, other pets, and general lifestyle.

 

Step 4: Paperwork & Adoption Fee

Shelters usually require basic vaccination, microchip, and standard documentation. There may be a small adoption fee to cover medical care.

 

Step 5: Welcome Home!

Bring your new friend home. Allow some time for adjustment. At TEEF we’re here to help that transition go smoothly.

After Adoption – How TEEF Helps

 

Special Adopter Benefit: Enjoy exclusive rates on our services when you adopt, not shop.

Bringing a new pet home is joyful — and sometimes challenging. At TEEF, we’re here to help the whole family settle in with confidence. Our adopter benefit is a small thank-you for giving a pet a second chance. To redeem, simply show proof of adoption when booking.

 

Our services include:

  • Dog Walking — regular, reliable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and training. 

  • Dog Sitting — trusted in-home care for dogs while you’re away. 

  • Cat Sitting — low-stress visits and care routines that keep cats calm and comfortable at home. 

 

We design care plans around your pet’s needs — age, temperament, and any recent vet guidance. New adopters often want support with leash training, settling in, or adjusting routines. We’ll walk you through those steps and offer a plan made just for your new friend.

 

FAQs About Pet Adoption in Dubai

 

Here are frequently asked questions we get at TEEF — answers to help you understand adoption better.

 

Q: Is pet adoption free in Dubai?

A: Most shelters charge a modest adoption fee. This fee helps cover veterinary costs like vaccinations, microchipping, spaying/neutering, and basic health checks.

 

Q: What documents do I need to adopt a pet?

A: Usually you’ll need your Emirates ID, proof of residence, and sometimes landlord permission (if applicable). Some shelters may also ask about your home setup (fenced yard, indoor space, etc.).

 

Q: Can expats adopt pets in Dubai?

A: Yes — many adopters are expats. Shelters generally accept applications from residents of Dubai, but check with the individual shelter about any extra paperwork needed.

 

Q: What does “status” mean (Available / Reserved / Adopted)?

A: “Available” means the pet is open for adoption. “Reserved” means someone has expressed intent or started the adoption process. “Adopted” means they’ve found a permanent home.

 

Q: Are pets allowed in apartments in Dubai?

A: Many buildings allow pets, but policies vary. Always check your lease agreement or ask your landlord. Be aware of size/breed limitations.

 

Q: Do shelters include vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering?

A: Most reputable shelters do include vaccinations and microchipping. Some may also provide spaying/neutering either before adoption or require it afterward. It depends on the shelter.

 

Q: What happens if the pet doesn’t adjust well?

A: Adoption is a journey. Pets often need time to settle in, feel safe, and adapt. Shelters and TEEF can offer advice, behavior tips, and support. If issues persist, reach out to the shelter — many have policies or programs to help with transitions.

 

Q: Can I meet the pet before adopting?

A: Yes — this is encouraged. Meeting helps ensure the pet’s temperament fits your home, lifestyle, and expectations.
