Rehoming Licence Number ABS-DWRHM-0006-2025
Sand To Sofa was created by Nadia Leishman when her friends in Saudi Arabia adopted a dog which had been rescued on the streets of Riyadh. Having been a rescuer previously in Cyprus, Nadia decided it was time to start saving dogs who needed loving forever homes once more. One or two rescues have now blossomed into a steady stream of deserving dogs looking for loving new homes. Nadia is licenced to rehome dogs by Aberdeenshire Council. The Saudi side of Sand To Sofa Rescue is Alya who tirelessly fundraises and brings in the dogs from the streets to be cared for and treated at the veterinary clinic and kennels prior to transportation to their new homes. From modest beginnings, we've grown through unwavering dedication and a commitment to saving as many dogs as possible from a life on the streets. In December 2025, after much hard work by the team, Sand To Sofa Rescue was awarded charity status in Scotland by OSCR, the Scottish Charity Register.
⭐Spotlight on Habibi and Jameelah⭐
This pair of fun-loving goofballs are Habibi and Jameelah. They were found in cages in a market waiting to be sold. Sand to Sofa stepped in to rescue them and took them off to be be treated at the vet centre in Riyadh. They were both underweight and in generally poor condition but with the best vet treatment, and lots of love and care, they now have a clean bill of health and are waiting to find their forever homes in Scotland. They are brother and sister, Habibi, the male, has the darker, slightly longer hair of the two and his sister Jameelah has white markings. They are not bonded and would be quite happy living in separate homes. They are 15 months old as of January 26 so still young dogs. They love to play and have a lovely, friendly nature. They are ready to fly on our April flight and either of them (or both!) could be just the dog you're looking for. Check out their pages under Available Dogs and if you think you can give either of them a home please get in touch. Details are on the Contact Us page.
