In the UAE, pets are more than companions, they’re family. From playful cats ruling Dubai apartments to loyal dogs enjoying beach walks in Abu Dhabi, every pet has a unique personality and a story worth sharing. That’s exactly what our latest social media campaign is all about.
What is #EveryPetHasAShory?
Shory.com is inviting pet parents across the UAE to celebrate their beloved cats and dogs by sharing their stories on Instagram and TikTok. The campaign, built around the hashtag #EveryPetHasAShory, is a tribute to the love, loyalty, resilience, and joy that pets bring into our lives.
Whether your pet is a rescue cat who found a forever home, a mischievous kitten with the main character's energy, a giant but gentle dog who protects the family, or a playful pup who makes everyone smile, their story deserves to be heard.
And yes, it will also be rewarded.

Why Your Pet’s Story Matters
Pets come from all walks of life, just like their owners. Some cats and dogs were adopted from shelters, some were rescued from the streets, some traveled across countries to be reunited with their families, and some were born right here in loving homes.
Behind every wagging tail and every soft purr, there’s a journey.
When you post using #EveryPetHasAShory, you’re contributing to a growing collection of heartwarming moments from across the UAE. And who knows? Your pet might become the next viral star.
Reading through the stories already shared, of Max the cute dog, Blue the rescued puppy, Ashley, Mahzoos, and Oreo, and many more entries, one thing becomes clear: All pets have made a lasting impact on our lives. From dramatic rescues to funny daily habits, from emotional healing journeys to simple moments of companionship, these cats and dogs remind us why pets are such an important part of our lives.
Don’t Miss Your Chance of Becoming a Star’s Agent
Don’t overthink it. Speak from the heart. Share what makes your dog irreplaceable or your cat unforgettable. Was it love at first sight? Did they help you through a difficult time? Do they have a quirky habit that makes everyone laugh?
Sometimes, the smallest details create the biggest emotional impact. If you’ve ever looked at your pet and thought, “The world needs to know how special you are,” this is your moment.
Take the photo. Record the video. Write the story. Win the 2026 Mercedes-Benz or the AED 10,000 cash.
Use #EveryPetHasAShory, tag @getshory, and let the UAE see why your cat or dog deserves the spotlight.
