Paws for Hope will bring together local rescuers, adoptable pets, and veterinarians on April 18 at L’Arche Dog Park. The free-entry event is dedicated to supporting abandoned pets and the rescuers who care for them.
It also aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by abandoned animals in Qatar, connect them with loving homes, and provide much-needed resources to local rescue organisations.
The event will feature representatives from several local rescue organisations, including Pawmise Rescue Qatar, Furry Good Deeds, Cats Rescue Qatar, Paws, Moon Paws Rescue, Qatar Tails, Furkids by Nagham, and Streets of Stray, offering attendees a chance to meet adoptable animals and learn about their stories.
Apart from adoptions, Paws for Hope offers a variety of ways to support the cause, organisers noted. Donations of pet food, cleaning materials, pet toys, and cat litter are welcome.
Attendees can also become
pet sponsors, contributing directly to vet clinics for medical care or sponsoring a pet’s flight to a new home.
The event will also feature local vendors selling food and handmade crafts, with proceeds benefiting the rescue organisations. For family fun, the event will include a photobooth
for humans and pets, face painting, balloon animals, and a “pin-a-tail” game. OneStop workshop will also offer workshops for a fee.
“Whether you’re a lifelong animal lover, considering adoption, or just curious to learn more — join us. Bring your family, your friends, your leashed dog (Important: please keep an eye on their social cues and keep them on leash) or cuddly cat. Come hungry, come curious, come with love,” organisers added.
