Campus and Community (C&C) in collaboration with Open Paws Jeddah (OPJ) will be hosting a Dog Adoption Day at KAUST on February 8. This special event is an opportunity to meet some of the most lovable and cuddly dogs, all eagerly waiting to find their forever homes.
We hope to help these cherished dogs find their ideal companions and loving homes. Take your time to meet our adorable canine friends, get to know their personalities, and maybe discover a lifelong companion.
Please remember that adopting a dog is a significant commitment, yet it is also one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences one can undertake.
If you are considering to adopt a dog (or any pet) in the KAUST community, then please take the time to make yourself aware of the Pet Guidelines.
UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
This activity is related to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, which focuses on promoting Good Health and Well-Being. Interacting with animals has been shown to reduce levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lowers blood pressure. Studies have also found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support and boost mood.
Let's make this a successful adoption day for all our furry friends!
