MESSAGE FROM ELAINE

A number of the videos we have posted recently are of dogs that have lived at the centre for many years. The main reason for this is very simple – there are too many stray dogs and unwanted puppies in North Cyprus and not enough forever homes to go round. However, that does not mean that a dog who has spent most of it’s life at the rescue centre is institutionalised and won’t settle into a home. We find that most dogs that are homed settle really well, it’s almost like they are grateful to finally have a home of their own! Here’s Elaine our centre supervisor with Evie, who has been at the centre for 12 years but who spends many an evening relaxing by the fire. Please listen to what she has to say about homing a long-term centre resident, the video cuts off a bit at the end but what Elaine was going to say was that she is always on the end of a phone to help new owners if they have any concerns about their newly rescued four-legged friend. So don’t be put off about homing one of our beautiful dogs, it could be the best decision you have ever made!
