Thankfully, they were taken in by Muscat Dog Adoption Rescue. His sister was adopted, but with no local interest in Oman, DEXTER was selected to travel to Maine to find his forever family. Stray dogs in Oman are affectionately known as “Wadi Dogs” — a unique and elegant mix of breeds such as Saluki, whippet, and other desert-adapted sighthounds. Without rescue, many face heartbreaking fates.
