00:00Are pets being abandoned in Dubai while their owners flee?
00:02Following the recent bombings in the region, some expatriates are leaving the city in a hurry,
00:07but can't take their pets with them. The administrative procedures are too long and
00:11complicated. As a result, many dogs, cats, rodents, and other animals are being temporarily left with
00:17pet sitters or in boarding facilities. But for some, it becomes permanent. Influencers such as
00:22Maddie Bursiaga, who want to keep their children safe, have chosen to leave their pets with their
00:27nannies. She does intend to come back for Maya. However, local organizations warn that abandonments
00:32are genuinely increasing and shelters are overwhelmed. Some veterinary clinics are even
00:37receiving requests to euthanize healthy animals. Volunteers from animal welfare groups are urgently
00:42trying to find foster families.
