A Dubai based sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, treatment, care and welfare of lost, abandoned and injured animals. Including exotics, birds, tortoises, equine, rodents and more.
This sanctuary located in the heart of Al Barsha works towards providing suitable habitats and recuperation of all animals that are resident.
DARC animal sanctuary is a family run concern whereby every dirham earned is spent on feeding, transporting, healing, training, and the maintenance of the animals in DARC's care.
The centre managed by an Emirati family is growing fast and is supported by well wishers and people who have volunteered their valuble time towards helping DARC achieve its goals. In order to help even more animals DARC has embarked on obtaining a bigger premises by seeking the government's help.
Ayesha Kelaif has been rescuing animals from abuse, neglect and abandonment for the past 10 years. Her villa in Al Barsha caters to a wide variety of both small and large animals, which total to approximately 110; all of which are housed in specially built accommodation to suit their specific requirements. However, the limited space in her villa has been a hindrance to taking in more animals that need shelter.
Ayesha, with the help of volunteers aims to open a suitable rescue centre within Dubai called Dubai Animal Rescue Centre (DARC) as it is urgently needed with the number of increasing animals that desperately need a home.
Nursery, Schools &
Children's groups
If you haven’t already booked your next educational trip we would like to invite you to consider DARC as an ideal location for your child's education and animal discovery. They can experience close animal encounters in a stimulating environment at the Centre. Birdlife, mammals, rodents and reptiles. Tailored visits from Nursery to Teenager!
Having committed the past 10 years to the private research and care of animals, the centre will aim to provide an educational facility that will give a much needed opportunity for adults and children to learn the importance of caring and sharing their lives with animals.
It will include a special children's education section to cater to schools. School visits will be arranged where children can be educated about the importance and responsibility of having a pet by discussing with the school management how best to fit it in with their schedule and curriculum. A library, visits to schools, summer camps and summer jobs are all part of an interesting programme that will be on offer.
