Twenty cute and cuddly dogs will be showcased at a special event this weekend in a bid to find homes for the abandoned animals.
Bahrain Strays, an organisation that works hard to rescue and re-home the kingdom’s stray fur babies, has partnered with Hilton Bahrain for the event which will be held at the hotel’s premises on Saturday, at 4pm.
It aims to encourage people to adopt their pets from animal shelters, which are already overcrowded with hundreds of abandoned dogs and cats, rather than buying from pet stores.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bahrain Strays for this meaningful event,” said Hilton Bahrain general manager Tamer Farouk.
“As a pet-friendly hotel, we understand the joy and companionship that pets bring to our lives. Our goal is to provide a platform for these wonderful dogs to find their forever homes.
“We invite everyone in the community to join us in making a difference in the lives of these animals.”
Meanwhile, Bahrain Strays representative Bayan Abdulla said that the event aims to inspire people to adopt, as ‘every dog deserves a loving family’.
“Seeing these small breed dogs who have been given a second chance, connect with potential adopters is truly heart-warming,” she said.
“We encourage everyone to come out and meet these amazing dogs and perhaps find the perfect addition to their family. Together we can create a brighter future for these deserving animals.”
The event is supported by GS Pet Shop, BarxNBones, Paws and Tails and Oka Veterinary Clinic.
All proceeds will be donated to Bahrain Strays.
