What We Do For Rescues

At Dara’s Pet Hotel we focus on saving and improving the lives of dogs and cats living on the streets of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. We are committed to our rescue and rehabilitation efforts whilst working to educate the local community in positive behaviour around animals and, at the same time, fighting against wanton abuse and cruelty.

How You Can Help


 

  • If you have time and love to share and would be interested in adopting any of the pets below, please contact us via WhatsApp- by phone - or on our Facebook page.

  • You can sponsor one of our animals and we will send you photos and updates of their progress.

  • You can make a general donation or send a donation for a specific animal by clicking the ‘Donate’ button. Please enter the pet's name as a reference or send us a message via WhatsApp so we can keep track of each pet’s funds.

  • We always need flight parents travelling from Sharm El Sheikh to Europe to help deliver our animals to their foster and forever homes. This entails no expense for the flight parents who will be met at the airport and can continue on their journey knowing they have helped an animal to a new life.

  • We are always on the look out for foster parents - this helps the animals to move on and makes space for dogs and cats who are still desperate and suffering on the streets.

  • We welcome food donations, medical supplies, tick treatments and anything else that will benefit the welfare of our animals. You are welcome to pay us a visit and meet our animals in opening hours.

  • If you are unable to donate using PayPal please feel free to contact us for alternative methods.

I'm Zeinab

Hi, I’m Zainab, a loving and gentle soul looking for my forever family. I was rescued by a kind human named Dara in Roweysat after a tough start in life. I’ve lost one of my eyes—no one knows exactly how—but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’m incredibly affectionate and adore being around people and dogs. Whether it’s cuddles, head rubs, or simply keeping you company, I’m happiest when I’m sharing love.

I'm Anais

Hi there! My name is Annais, and I’m a sweet and resilient little cat looking for my forever home. Life threw me a curveball when I was hit by a car, which left me with a broken jaw and just one eye, but I haven’t let it dim my spirit! I may need my food blended to help me eat, but don’t worry—I can still chow down on my own. I absolutely adore cuddles and will happily snuggle up with you whenever you need some love. I’m friendly, affectionate, and can’t wait to be your loyal companion.

I'm Jennifer

Hello, I'm Jennifer! I was found in Roweysat, and it seems I was used for breeding before being dumped on the streets. When they found me, I was covered in ticks and fleas and extremely weak. Luckily, Dara took me in, and after being spayed, I’ve been recovering and regaining my strength. Despite my rough start, I have a loving heart and am ready to find my forever home. I can't wait to share my love and companionship with you!

I'm Charlie

Hi, I'm Charlie! I was found wandering the streets of Roweysat, and when I came to the shelter to be spayed, Dara fell in love with me and couldn't bear to put me back out on the street. I share a lot in common with my friend Twin, and Dara thinks we might even be siblings! I'm a sweet and playful pup, ready to find a loving family who will give me the cozy home I deserve. If you're looking for a loyal companion, I'm your guy!

I'm Twin

Hi there! I'm Twin, a gentle boy looking for my forever home. I used to be weak and skinny, struggling to defend myself, but thanks to Dara, I found my way to the shelter where I’ve been gaining strength and confidence. I absolutely love playing with my ball, and I get along wonderfully with other dogs. I’m ready to share my love and loyalty with a family who will cherish me.

I'm Ben

 Once upon a time I had a home and a family but alas I developed this big lump on my head and I didn't look so pretty so my family took me on a trip to the lovely national parks and left me there. It was very hot and had no food or water. A very nice engineer found me and he tried his best to look after me but I couldn't stay with him as he lived a long way off. He found some nice people to take care of me. I was taken to the vets to see why I had this lump on my head and they said it could be removed. I am now living at Dara's Pets Hotel. I have had my operation and am back to being very handsome. Although I'm quite old I can still play with all the other nice dogs there. I am a happy boy but would love to have my own family to give me love and tummy tickles.

I'm Kameen

I am a young girl who has had a lot of sadness in my short life. I started my days amongst the rubbish and trucks at the Checkpoint of Rowyset, Sharm el Sheikh. It is not the place for dogs and puppies - nobody wants us there. We don’t know any different so we just exist in the hot sun, noise and fumes - hungry, thirsty and waiting to be poisoned or hit by a car. Most days, Dara passes by to give food and water to all the Checkpoint dogs. I was not allowed to eat or drink, the others dogs attacked me and I ran away crying, starving and terrified. I was barely six months old when the big dogs hurt me - soon after my tummy got big and I had babies. They were all born dead probably because I was so thin and much too young. Dara took me to a place where they made sure I would not have any more puppies. For the first time in my life I felt happy - I was not scared to eat and sleep. Then they told me that I was ready to go back to the street. I cried when Dara put me in her car again until she said that I could come to the Pets Hotel as I was so sweet and too thin. Now everybody tells me how lovely I am and that I would be a beautiful companion for a loving human. So here I am, just waiting for my human to find me.

I'm Fred

Hi I may be small but I am funny and I love to cuddle. I remember my short life started with love and adoration. I was a tiny little puppy, everyone wanted to hold me and play with me but this didn’t last. I was taken by some bad people and I ended up in Rowyset with the trucks, noise and rubbish everywhere but with nothing to eat or drink. A family who lived amongst all this chaos locked me into their yard with another dog who was tied up to an old pile of wood . I remember only pain and hunger from then on. My leg was broken and they passed me around and dropped me on the ground - I couldn’t move much so I stayed. Dara and her friend found me one day and persuaded the family to let me go to the vets to help my leg. I spent a few weeks there and then came to the Pets Hotel where I am safe. I am not unhappy but I know that somewhere there is a kind and loving person who will love me for being funny and cute. I can make them laugh and we can cuddle all day.

I'm Trio

I am a gorgeous, young Ballady boy - Tripaw, Tricolour and Trying to find a home where I can be safe and loved forever. I was born into a big litter in Rowyset but it was a dangerous area and the people didn’t like us. One by one my siblings and I were all hit by cars - some of us survived. Months later when I was back on the street a car drove at me, I was flung across the road and left to die. I was lucky, a lovely man came and gently carried me to his car and took me to a vets. Now four months later, I am happy and well again - I am learning to walk, run and play with three legs. I have a place in the Pets Hotel as Dara said I couldn’t survive on the streets again. I am good with other dogs and humans, willing and excited to learn lots of things. I am still young and have been told that I can move on to a new life with friends, family, cuddles, toys and a bed of my own. If you have a place in your life for a loving Tripaw then I am your boy.

I'm Matilda

I was abandoned on the streets and ended up in a place called Rowyset in Sharm el Sheikh. I was always a good girl and wagged my tail a lot but my owners didn’t love or want me. I am a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. When I was alone on the street some children came to play with me but then they put a chain round my neck and pulled me along. I wagged my tail at them but they didn’t really want to be my friends. I was completely covered with tics and the chain hurt me - nobody gave me any food or water. I felt so sad. A kind lady gave me an injection, she said it would kill the tics - I wagged my tail for her a lot but still she left me. Dara and her friend found me and made the kids undo the chain. I happily jumped into the car and they took me to The Pets Hotel. They told me I was safe - I was so tired- I slept for two days. I had a lovely shower with lots of cuddles and now I get to play with other dogs and humans. I am a calm and happy girl and don’t feel angry with anyone. I would love to have my own human to adore but until then, I will wag my tail for everyone I meet.

I'm Chain Girl

They called me Chain Girl because some children put a tight chain around my neck. I was lucky because Dara found me and brought a big tool thing to cut the chain off. A week later I was Rope Girl and then Cable Girl - Dara always comes with food and water and saves me. I want a real name and a place where I am safe. I still love good humans but am scared that the bad ones will hurt me and Dara will not find me. Perhaps you could be my special human who keeps me safe and we can have lots of fun together.

I'm Gee

I am called Gee and I now live in The Pets Hotel. I was with my friends Seb and Adele in a villa with lots of cats. The man Adel, who lived with us found me when I was young. I had been hit over the head by a cruel human and left to die. I had stitches and slowly got better. Adel invited me to his home and until he died last year, I was happy there. Dara says I may find a home if I am lucky - I am happy here at the Pets Hotel but would love to live in a proper home. I am friendly, easygoing, I love humans and dogs. If you are looking for a lovely companion, I am here waiting for you.

I'm Seb

I am thirteen years old and very good looking (in my opinion). I was taken in by a good man called Adel who wanted to help Ballady street dogs and cats. I had a problem with my eyes and was almost blind when he invited me to live in his villa. Now I can see better but the world is still not so clear for me. I lived with Adel for a long time and then one day he just wasn’t there anymore. At first other people came in to feed us but after a few days I only saw Dara and Abdul. They fed us and cleaned, some of the cats found homes and we waited. I was with my two friends, Gee and Adele - we waited. About six months ago, Dara took us in her car and said we could come and live at the Pets Hotel as we had to leave our villa. I know I am too old to find a home but if you want to visit me I am cuddly and kind. Maybe you could bring me a treat or donate some money for me to have a special dinner.

I'm Adele

My name is Adele in honour of the man who saved my friends and I - his name was Adel. He found me on the street when I was young, I was born with a bad back leg and found life difficult. Now I can walk well and you can hardly tell that I am not perfect. Adel died last year, it still makes me sad, he was good to us. Now I live in The Pets Hotel - Dara says I am a very easy and lovely girl and deserve a good home so I am hoping, every day, that someone will pick me. I know I would be a perfect dog in my own home - I am very loving and would always make you smile. I am happy to live with other dogs.

I'm Bosch

I am not young but as you know Bosch machines go on forever. I know all about this as I live in the industrial area of Sharm El Sheikh outside a shop that sells machines of all kinds. The shop owners sometimes leave me water but Dara comes every day with food for me and my friends. My friends are cats and they often push me out of the way and eat my food - I am happy to share with them. It is a hard life out on the street - at least I have cat friends and Dara. I know I am not beautiful like some of the other young dogs but I am calm, kind and loyal. If you want to be my friend or even invite me into your life, please tell Dara and she will help me to find you.

I'm Tiny Ryne

My name is Tiny Ryne - Dara said I have two names because I am special. I live in Rowyset, on the street with lots of big dog friends and funny cats who are even smaller than I am. Dara comes to feed us every day but sometimes the big dogs eat my food without even asking. I love everyone and it makes me so happy when Dara picks me up and cuddles me. I have a slightly damaged paw - it has always been like that - but it doesn't stop me from running and playing. I am not unhappy but it is difficult to feel safe out here on the street. If a lovely human would like to share their life with me, I would be the best dog and the luckiest dog in the whole world.

I'm Matilda

I am a lovely, active cat - even though I was born with deformed front legs, I can run, jump and climb like the other cats. When I was a kitten, a kind man called, Adel, took me to his villa to live with other cats and dogs, most of us had some kind of disability. A few months ago our friend Adel died suddenly and we were all left with no one to care for us. Dara came and cleaned, gave us food and tried to find new homes where we could live. Sadly it is very difficult - nobody wants a disabled cat or dog. I am now in The Pets Hotel and hope that one day someone will see past my bad legs and fall in love with me for the cat that I really am.

I'm Babe

I am looking for a home with people who love and care for me. I was born in Rowyset, where the Bedouin live with their goats and camels. I spent a lot of time hiding - avoiding cars, trucks and stones. I lived next to a good man who fed some cats and friendly dogs. Last year his shack was bulldozed and I had nowhere to go or hide. Dara heard what had happened and invited me to the Pets Hotel to stay. I like it here but would love a quiet home where I can purr in peace.

I'm Joy

I am very pretty and affectionate but before you fall in love with me I need to tell you my story. I lived with mum and siblings outside some Bedouin shacks - we were happy enough. Dara would come and check on us and give us food. Some of the people around didn’t like any dogs and wanted to kill us all. I remember one day I was playing and then there was pain and then, more pain. I couldn’t move, I lay in the sun and then all night on the sand until I was sure I was dead. A man had hit me with his car and then run over me again. I don’t remember Dara coming and taking me to the vets and then one day I woke up in the Pets Hotel- I was alive and safe. Two years later I can walk, run and play but I cannot control my bowel and when indoors, I have to wear a nappy. My brothers and sisters all have homes of their own but I know nobody will ever want me. I love humans and cuddles - if you are ever near the Pets Hotel, please come in and visit me, we can have a cuddle - that would make me so happy.
