For those who just can't choose, we also offer a 'Pack' sponsorship option. If you choose this option your sponsorship will be used for any needs across the whole Baladi Watch project, and for needs for dogs who haven't yet found a sponsor.

Teddy was one of the generator puppies, the first we named and now the only survivor from the litter who were hit by various deaths through poisoning, viruses and car accidents. Many people liken him to a husky with his unique looks, unusual for a Baladi Dog. He is super soft both physically and mentally and loves to lay in the sun. His favourite pastimes include annoying Lucy and fighting with her over food, and stealing anything he shouldn't!

Daisy is the original Baladi Watch puppy, some junior staff presented her to us after we had sedated her mum ready for castration. She also had a sister who disappeared shortly after. Since then she hasn't left our side and although we don't feed her she doesn't really know desert life. She loves human company and now spends all her time in Marsa Shagra as the resident dog, looked after by the staff and guests.

Mum mum is so called because she is the mum of Daisy. We didn't have a name for her so that's what we called her and it stuck! She is super calm and friendly, if a little wary of strangers. She comes and goes but is never far away. She is a true Baladi desert dog.

Juventus was named by one of our colleagues as a puppy due to his black and white colour. He knows us very well since a puppy but isn't quite brave enough to let us stroke him, though he will come close for food. We call him Uncle Juventus as he is a very good babysitter when there are younger dogs around. He hasn't had an easy start, breaking his leg in a car accident, but thanks to some great veterinary care by our friends at Blue Moon he is now fully fixed.

Patch is another of the original Baladi Watch dogs who we had to spend time feeding to get close enough to castrate. He gets his name from the patch over his left eye, although it is fading as he gets older. His temperament is similar to Juventus too - he is shy but kind.

Scar is a big softy. Already an adult he was one of the first local dogs to let us close to him. He used to have leg injury but it seems to be healed now. He isn't afraid of people at all and you rarely see him barking at anyone. He likes the company of other dogs - especially the ladies!

We named Sally after a friend of ours who has supported our project from the beginning and who kindly encouraged friends to donate to the project instead of buying her presents for her 60th Birthday. Sally (the dog) is a bit unusual colouring for a Baladi, she is quite shy but gradually coming closer for food so we hope to get her castrated as soon as we can.

Dicky, brother of Sally were born in a neighbouring hotel, where we hoped to leave them and feed them but they soon wised up to our farm area and rubbish room which was too tempting to miss, so they stayed, and became part of the Baladi Watch gang.

Stevie is the brother of Safe, from the same litter of puppies that were dumped at our feeding station. We called Stevie after Stevie Wonder as he is so vocal! He is very soft - his coat and his personality. He loves cuddles and playing with the other puppies. We helped him recover from a broken leg when he was a puppy - he is a little bit clumsy and sometimes gets caught up in the moment and distracted! Stevie always shows up when there's a fuss going on to see what he is missing out on.

While Sarah was filling the water for the dogs she heard a sound coming from the water pump station room and after some investigation and a bit of moving of boxes, a ginger cat sprung out. Behind the box were 5 small ginger kittens, not more than a week old. A few days later there was word of a snake on the farm so as we seemed to have her trust we decided that it was better to move her to the Roof to keep her safe. We kept them there until Peaches went to be spayed, and then we set them free on the farm. Unfortunately Peaches and two kittens didn't survive but the other 3 remaining kittens are strong and healthy. They earn their keep on the farm by controlling the pests such as scorpions, lizards and mice, and are well-loved by the farm workers.
