The charitable organization that created the pet farm in 2009 Posh Paws, set as its goal to shelter as many animals and birds as possible. All of them, for various reasons, were looking for their home: someone donated the zoo, some rescued someone, and someone was given away by the owners. For animals were created comfortable living conditions without grills and cages. In addition, the farm has created a developing area for children, where the kids can get to know more closely with all the pets, pat them and feed them, watch their life in natural conditions.
Inhabitants of the farm
The number of Posh Paws is increasing every year. If initially there lived only pets, now here you can communicate with a huge number of animals and birds:
- cats and dogs;
- guinea pigs and hamsters;
- turtles and rabbits;
- turkeys, ducks and goats;
- sheep and llamas;
- cows and deer;
- ferrets and monkeys;
- parrots and flamingos.
For all, natural habitats have been created with enough water and green, despite the fact that the surrounding nature is a desert. On a large territory there was a place for tunnels, special houses, swimming pools, ponds, trees and meadows for grazing.
Entertainment for children in Posh Paws
Most of all the delight of the farm is for children of all ages, because here they do not have to look at animals because of high fences. The space is organized on the principle of a contact zoo, where you can feed and iron any animal, watch how it lives and how it feeds. Many parents before a trip to Posh Paws are stocked with carrots for rabbits, pieces of vegetables and fruits for other animals. If you come without food, then you can buy it on the premises.
Animals are already accustomed to being fed, and they meet each visitor with a characteristic asking look. Eating is enough for everyone, and Willie, who skillfully demands it, and the modest ostrich emu, who still only meets with the guests, hoping for a treat.
With all the animals of the park you can take a picture for memory, and when you leave, you should leave some money for their food and care.
Volunteers in Posh Paws
The contact zoo of Dubai lives only on donations from various people and organizations. Here volunteers gathered who love animals and are ready to take care of them for free. The farm invites volunteers for temporary or permanent work. Their duties include caring for animals, caring for the territory, feeding and cleaning.
Some volunteers are so attached to their pets that they then take them with them, and then the farm helps to arrange all the necessary documents for the export of animals from the country. The ability to take away the fancy animals is also available to visitors if they are sure that the laws of their country will allow importation.
