Campus and Community (C&C) in collaboration with Open Paws Jeddah (OPJ) is excited to host the third Dog Adoption Day at KAUST.
This special community event is your opportunity to meet some of the most lovable dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, all looking for their forever homes. Whether you are ready to adopt or simply want to learn more, everyone is welcome to stop by.
Event Details
Please note: Pet dogs from the community are not allowed at the event. The Island Dog Park will be closed to KAUST dogs during this time.
Adoption with a Purpose
Our goal is to help each dog find a loving and suitable home. Take your time to meet the dogs, learn about their personalities, and see if one could be the right fit for you and your family.
Adopting a dog is a meaningful, long-term commitment. But it is also one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. If you are considering adoption, we encourage you to review the KAUST Pet Guidelines in advance.
Supporting Well-Being
This event supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being. Spending time with animals has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, ease loneliness, and improve overall mood—benefits for both people and pets.
Let’s come together to make this a successful adoption day and help these dogs find the homes they deserve!
