If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged companion to your life, this weekend might be the perfect moment to take that step. A special event in Dubai is bringing together rescue pups and potential owners: Adoption Runway Show that takes place on Sunday, March 29 at Eventchic in Al Quoz Ind. 2.

Here, you’ll meet dogs that are ready for a new home. The event starts at 3 PM with a meet-and-greet, so you can spend time getting to know the pups. Then at 4 PM, they’ll take to the runway to show off their personality and hopefully win over a future family.

Every dog at the event is a rescue, and the goal is to help them find a loving home. If you do find yourself connecting with one of them, you can speak with the team about the process.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that adopting a dog is about more than just a first impression. Think about your routine and energy levels, and try to match with a pup that fits into your lifestyle.

To attend this special event in Dubai, you’ll need to register in advance by calling 050 145 1070. Entry is free, but spots are limited.

And if you already have a dog at home, you might also want to check out Pawdy Neighbours, a pet-friendly spot in Downtown Dubai with a dog spa and daycare, or take a look at the newly opened JLT dog park for your next outing together.
