00:00Taking care of your pets has taken on a whole new meaning for Aisha Khalaf, and it's not
00:16just a cat or a dog.
00:18In her home in Dubai, Aisha is the proud owner of around 90 pets, all different shapes and
00:24sizes.
00:25You might have seen her taking her pet horses for a walk around Barsha.
00:29She takes in strays and unwanted pets, and in her villa, she has somehow managed to make
00:34room for all of them.
00:46But like this former fighting dog, Aisha also takes in animals who have been maltreated
00:51or neglected.
00:52It's a full-time job for her, and she's also frequently asked to take in more animals.
01:00They're called Bokros deer from South Africa.
01:02They come from South Africa.
01:04She has an eye infection, and we are treating it.
01:09And with vaccinations, treatment, food and other expenses, this generosity comes at a
01:14hefty price, thousands of dirhams per month.
01:18I need at least three bags of dry food, and then I buy the fresh chicken I need to boil
01:28for them.
01:30I need every day three chickens.
01:31That's a must in my house.
01:35With more land, Aisha says she hopes to open a rescue centre one day.
01:39And until then, she says she'll make sure all her animals live a happier, healthier
01:43life.
