LOCATION MAP
The Rescue Centre was relocated to the Besparmak Mountains in 1999, and is now home to over 200 dogs and puppies and 50 cats and kittens. The centre is fully committed to providing a caring and loving environment for all the animals.
Visitors are welcome to see the centre and the work that we do, or to take a dog for a walk in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Many of the dogs are very eager for ‘walkies’, it is a great treat for them.
Help is also required to bath, groom, socialise or just play with some of the many dogs and cats.
Work is always required on the maintenance of the buildings, compounds and grounds at the centre and we are always desperate for donations to help with the continuing expansion of our facilities.
Expansion and Additions at the Rescue Centre
Work continues daily at the rescue centre to repair, maintain and refurbish, to try to make the living conditions more comfortable for the animals in our care. Most of the work is carried out by volunteers, but larger projects have to wait until funds can be raised. There are always further projects on the waiting list…
ER Block
In March 2008, the block of kennels known as the ER Block, named after Edith Richardson whose generous bequest paid for the building and which was built by a group of volunteers, was completed. A further legacy from the family of another regular visitor, Budd Graves, was given to KAR especially so that the electrical work could be completed and heat lamps could be installed. ER Block is made up of six block built kennels, each with an outside run, and is used for dogs recovering from operations, injuries and for mums and pups.

Pine Walk Using funds raised by Fikri Toros and Demet Alkan James at their Bellapais Piano Concert in 2011, together with a legacy received from the late Angela Nicholson, fourteen new compounds were built and named ‘Pine Walk’. This area is at the bottom end of the enclosure, sheltered by Pine trees and each of the compounds, which differ in sizes, accommodates up to five dogs. Wooden kennels were built by volunteers to give the dogs shelter in the compounds. Doggy Avenues 1 & 2 These are two new blocks of nine compounds, each of which can comfortably house two to four dogs. The compounds have been built to house dogs which would normally have been accommodated in the Kennel Block or on chains. Doggy Avenue 1 was completed in early 2013 and Doggy Avenue 2 was ready to move into two months later. The building of this area was thanks to the funding received from Sara Macann who raised money for the project in the UK, Gugun & Sema Muharrem and Ann Bosley, to whom we are all very grateful. New wooden kennels were also built to make the compounds more comfortable, thanks to donations raised by the students of ESK school, Girne. |
