Al Sadd

After several last minute reprieves, time is finally running out for the dogs and cats still at Dohavets: the boarding facility is fully booked over Eid so they can no longer be housed there. QAWS is overflowing. Unless a solution can be found, several of the dogs face euthanasia. This is the very last thing anyone involved wants, but what is the alternative? These dogs have been hard to place. All are beautiful, intelligent creatures, but, due to their history of being abused and scared,cannot be considered well socialized.
Chassay was found several months ago, guarding her puppies in the most appalling conditions. She's wary with strangers and other dogs.

MABUHAY KA!

Defending champions Al Gharafa and runners-up Al Sadd start as the big title favourites in the second editon of Qatar Stars League which kicks off tomorrow. The country’s top 12 clubs compete under proper home and away format, adopting new rule that allows them to field only four foreign players at a time.
Al Gharafa will have a league hat-trick on their mind when they begin their title defense with a match against Al Khor. Before that Al Rayyan host Qatar Sports Club in the opening match of this season.
Al Gharafa, coached by Marcos Paqueta, won championships in the past two seasons. Paqueta has since moved to rivals Al Rayyan, with another Brazilian Caio Junior taking charge of the Al Gharafa hot seat.
