Abu Dhabi Pet Owners! Enter Shory’s #EveryPetHasAShory to Win AED 10K (AND a 2026 Mercedes)

Somewhere in the UAE right now, someone is lying on their couch with a cat on their chest, wondering how they ever lived without it.

Someone else is mid-walk with a dog who was terrified of everything six months ago.

Another person is looking at old photos on their phone or scrolling through their insta feed filled with cats and smiling through it.

These are ordinarily extraordinary stories. And that is precisely the point.

Shory.com’s #EveryPetHasAShory campaign launched with a simple belief, that the quietest, most ordinary moments of loving an animal are worth telling and worth celebrating.

So, not only do you get to share your pet’s story, but you can win AED 10K cash prize AND enter a random lucky draw to win a Mercedes vehicle.

#EveryPetHasAShory is a reminder that the animals we choose and the ones that choose us leave a mark and shape our lives in ways unimaginable.

This campaign is all about gratitude for pet parents and celebrating the real, emotional stories that make our furry companions feel like family.

At its heart, this campaign is designed to create strong emotional connections, engage communities, and inspire participation, all while recognising the pets that hold a special place in people’s hearts.

AND Shory.com is licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE, trusted by over 1 million customers, and has a 4.9 Google rating… so you know your pet’s story is in good hands. Share your story and you could win AED 10K cash or enter the random lucky draw to win a Mercedes!

So, how do you take part?

Pet owners are invited to post photos (maximum five) or videos of their cat or dog on Instagram or TikTok during the campaign period, along with a short caption sharing their pet’s story.

The caption must begin with #EveryPetHasAShory, and participants must tag @getshory using Instagram’s “Tag People” feature directly on the image or video, not just in the caption.

Entrants must also follow @getshory and keep their account public throughout the campaign so entries can be viewed and considered.

No purchase is required to participate, just an authentic story and a little love! Oh, and did we mention?

Telling your story could win you AED 10,000 or a brand new 2026 Mercedes-Benz

Ten selected pets will each receive an AED 10,000 cash prize. On top of that, one eligible entry will be chosen to win a Mercedes vehicle. The entries will be selected based on a combination of engagement on Shory.com’s reposted campaign post and evaluation by Shory’s internal jury, who will assess originality, character, brand fit, and overall appeal.

Aoun Al Smadi, CEO of Shory UAE, said:

“Anyone who has a pet understands that they are never ‘just’ animals – they are companions, protectors, and constant sources of comfort and joy. We see incredible examples every day of how devoted pet owners in the UAE are, and we are deeply grateful for the love and responsibility they show towards their animals. With #EveryPetHasAShory, we simply want to celebrate that devotion and remind pet owners that caring for our pets also means being prepared to protect their health and wellbeing.”
