You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. LULA was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption, before sending him with other saved dogs to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine. They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue where they are settling in.
LULA was cleared by the US canine center for diseases upon entry into the US. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, weighs around 36 pounds and has an estimated date of birth or 13 July 2022.
Lula was picked up on 15th March by a former GaDaH adopter and approved foster to give her some time out of the kennels and she spent a week enjoying and adapting learning how to live in a home environment. She adapted well and although was skittish, which is to be expected after all she had been through, she was gaining confidence on walks. She loved sleeping on the couch and was eating, drinking and going to the door when she wanted to go outside. Unfortunately after a few days she was getting a bit growly with the families small terrier, which was most likely as she didn't want to share all this new love and attention. Lula came back to the rescue on 22nd March after a weeks' break from the kennels and we feel that although she gets on with other dogs and loves to play with them, she would probably be best in home on her own so she can enjoy and take in all the love and attention she has not had and so desperately wants and deserves.
LULA's story is that she was living as a young pup (around 3 months) in an area with her beautiful mum and siblings. The police, as they do to stray dogs in Oman, shot her mum and siblings. Lula and one of her brothers miraculously survived, however, her brother had a badly broken jaw from being shot and ended up being put to sleep.
LULA had severe wounds to both her hind legs and front paw of which the veterinarian believes were done by a human to torture her. Thankfully with medical care and treatment she healed well and was able to go to the Muscat Dog Adoption Rescue where she stayed until she was lucky to be chosen to come to the US.
Stray dogs in Oman are referred to as "Wadi Dogs" and are a mix of the popular sighthound breeds, specifically thought to be descendents of the majestic Saluki and other smaller breeds, many resembling whippets with their small agile frames. If not saved these dogs are often shot or brutally ran over and left for dead.
We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.
LULA is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $150, as noted she is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this precious girl home.
Applications are processed with 24 hours of them being received.
