Report Survivors Party 30th August 2014
Energetic fundraiser, Lesley Hey, organised yet another great party to raise funds for Cyprus Dogs Rehoming Association (CyDRA). It was held on Saturday 30st August at the UKLF Club and was attended by club members, friends of CyDRA, and CyDRA members and their families and friends. It was a small function for those of us who braved the Cyprus summer heat – hence the title: Survivors’ Party. Judging by the smiles we can safely say we all survived very well! The evening was made special as it was also Lesley’s birthday and, generous as ever, she asked people to donate to CyDRA rather than give her presents. With the additional funds raised through very good raffle, she raised over Euro 300 which she presented to the 2nd Chaiman of CyDRA. A great evening was had by all. The vocalist, the very entertaining Angela Allery, provided first class entertainment by singing a wide variety of past and present hit songs – and showed a great degree of stamina in the heat of the evening. A tasty supper, as ever, was provided by the Club’s caterers. Related...

Read MoreSophie 8 (P)
Date of birth: August 2012 High to shoulder: 41 cm Vaccinated: yes Neutered: yes Homed: September 2014 Sophie was just tied to the gate of the shelter and left there alone. All night she had to endure this until the first helpers arrived to start work. Sophie was not really relieved because the people scared her. She probably thought they may hurt her because it seems she hasn’t experienced a lot of good times in her life so far. She has been in the shelter for quite a while now and is still shy, but she always is happy about people visiting her kennel. As long as she does not feel you want or expect something from her she is even pretty relaxed. She didn’t much like the photographs and filming. She didn’t understand what this person wanted and what the thing in front of his head or in his hand was – she thought it might mean danger. So you can see on the video a completely submissive and insecure dog, and this is Sophie. But you can also see the love in her eyes and the gentle creature that she is, the tentative wag when you talk to her. Sophie is not a typical scared dog and she has taken the first steps on the way to confidence. What she now lacks is the attention of her own family and lots of love. When she has that you will see a determined and totally carefree dog who will be capable of discovering the joys of life and especially the world at last, sheltered by her own family. If you have fallen in love with Sophie and want to help her make a new start, then please contact us. Related...
Read MoreBrad (P)
Date of birth: April 2014 High to shoulder: 35 cm Vaccinated: yes Neutered: not yet Homed: September 2014 Brad was ‘given up’, together with his two brothers, to PAWS. The puppies were so sweet, and round as a ball. It seems that they had not been badly treated before and had had enough food. His two brothers have already found a home, only Brad is still waiting in the shelter for his own chance. He grows and thrives, but we can’t tell how big Brad will be … Even for specialists, it is very difficult to say which breeds are mixed up in him! Everyone agrees though that he is a wonderful, handsome, happy puppy. He shares his kennel with his dog buddy, they get along very well but both are wanting their own home. If you have fallen in love with Brad, and would like to embark on an adventure with him, we are sure that he will put a smile on your face every day. Of course, Brad still needs training because he probably does not know yet about life in a home but we are sure that he will learn quickly, and will be a very lovely boy. If you want to share your life with him, please get in touch. Related...
Read MoreLady (J)
Date of birth: February 2012 High to shoulder: 45 cm Vaccinated: yes Neutered: yes Homed: September 2014 Lady is another dog found outside of Nicosia. At first she was quite shy which leads us to believe she must have had bad experience with people before. However, it didn’t take long for her to start to trust us – it’s amazing how dogs give us humans a second chance! She is also very good with other dogs. No doubt she still will be shy when she has her first contact with new people, but she has shown that she will soon get over that initial feeling and she has a very nice character. Lady is an active dog and therefore needs people who will be active with her. Doing dog sports and activities with her would be great – and think of the exercise you will get too! We are looking for a proper family life for her and that will NOT be to hunters.
