How adopting works

Adopt a rescue dog or cat in the UAE.

Every animal on RescueME is already in a foster home somewhere in the UAE, and the people who know them best are the ones you’ll talk to. The form below is how we start — it asks about your home, your routine and what you’re hoping for, so we can point you at the rescues who’d actually suit it rather than the ones with the best photos. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back. There is an adoption fee towards the vet work each animal has already had, and we’ll tell you the exact figure before you commit to anything.

Rescue of interest

Pick a first choice and, if you're flexible, a second. We'll match you as best we can.

Submitting this application isn't a commitment, and it doesn't guarantee a match. It's a starting point, a way for both of us to see whether a particular rescue fits your home and lifestyle. The best adoptions happen when the animal's needs line up with what you can offer, so please answer as fully and honestly as you can. Thanks for taking the time.

If you've already seen one of our rescues, tell us their name. Leave blank if you're still browsing.

We'll match you with specific animals based on your answers throughout this application.
