Paws & Hearts Adoption Festival is coming to Abu Dhabi with plenty of activities for pets and families. Pet adoption is on the agenda too. If you’ve been thinking about meeting a few cuties, this is your sign.

You can come alone, with kids, or even bring your dog. There’s plenty to enjoy for everyone, whether you’re here to find a new furry friend or just spend a good day out.
