Welcome to THE NEW OFFICIAL
HOME of PAWS DOG SHELTER,
PAPHOS, CYPRUS.
As of January 2011, we are now here (www.pawsdogshelter.com).
The old site www.dogscyprus.org is no longer used and updated. Please save THIS site in your favourites!
Paws Dog Shelter is a charitable organisation and part of C.A.P.C.A. (Cyprus Association for the Protection and Care of Animals). We rely heavily on donations and sponsorship. At times the staff here can be caring for up to 150 abandoned and rescued dogs from the Paphos and surrounding areas.
Animal cruelty is sadly a huge problem in Cyprus . Dogs are being abandoned on a daily basis and the cases Paws Dog Shelter faces regularly would make any animal lover want to weep. Sadly dogs seem to bear the brunt of human frustration, ignorance and anger. Many dogs and pups are let go on busy roads when their owners lose interest in them, thrown over cliffs, tied up and starved, left dying by the roadside, dumped in wheelie bins and worse.
We need your help in turning their lives around. The lucky ones that come to Paws Dog Shelter are given the best care and treatment to bring them back to health. However there are so many dogs being brought to the shelter that we need others re-homing to make space for the new cases.
Please contact us by telephone to arrange a visit and meet our lovely dogs, we have a variety of dog breeds here. Our Kennel Managersey would love to meet you and show you around the shelter.
There are many ways that you can help us, including sponsoring a dog at the shelter, making a donation or by offering one of our beautiful dogs a new home. For those of you unable to visit the shelter (as you may be located abroad), please have a look at the selection of dogs we have on our ‘Rehoming‘ page. (Sadly it isn’t possible to show them all).
We offer a quarantine and shipping service to those who would like to rehome a dog abroad. We have a lot of very happy dogs right across Germany and the UK!
Please enjoy browsing around our site. For a background on how Paws Dog Shelter started, please see our ‘About Paws’ page . If you have any questions, would like to visit us OR if you have a dog for rehoming please telephone us on (00357) 99683775 or contact us through our ‘Contact Us‘ page.
