Limassol District Animal Protection Association have a shelter just outside Limassol with 100 dogs inside that will starve to death if they don't get urgent help. They have run out of money for food and do not have any money left to pay someone to go and feed the dogs and clean the shelter. These dogs will die if we don't get help so please read on and find it in your hearts to help.

There are puppies and all kinds of breeds of dogs, all friendly and loveable just wanting kindness, comfort and warmth in a new home - can you make a dog happy?

If you cannot adopt a dog can you donate food, blankets, water/food bowls or money.

Have a look through your cupboards and donate any blankets or thick towels you don't use any more.

Next time you are at the supermarket spend a few extra pounds on dog food. If you can do this regularly it would be such a great help.

Have some spare time on your hands to go and help at the shelter even if it is only one morning or afternoon a week, it all helps.

Do you have any dog toys or balls to entertain the dogs in the shelter.

Any help you can give to saving these dogs would so much be appreciated. I am willing to come and collect any items you can donate.

Open your hearts for these defenseless, helpless animals - they need us.

THANK YOU

Morning. I applaud you and your fellow volunteers for your efforts with these dogs and sorry, cannot help as already have a cat and a dog - strays!! I will see if they have anything of use for you, but the question I have to ask is 'Do you have these animals spayed?' If you have no money to feed and clean them, you may not have the money for vets bills and therefore just exaggerating the problem of overpopulated dogs. Do hope i am wrong. What will happen to the dogs if you do not raise enough funds?

Has anybody seen how many views this topic has,

well it say 3490 if everyone of these people put a £1.00 in that quite some money, and that will covers lots of food, and even vets bills,

I am just one person and I do my bit.

every week I buy extra dog food add it to my shopping, i wish people would do the same, a large tin of dog food is only £0.86c from carrefour, and biscuits are between £2.40 to £6.00

we are not asking for you to spend loads of money on dog food, just a pound or two every week.

do what I do, buy a tin or two each week, and every month I call June, we meet on carrefour car park, I hand over what i have to give and that's it.

she willing to travel anyway, just call her and she be there.




SO ALL I ASK OF YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US IN ANYWAY YOU CAN.

Great efforts from you all, but all I am hearing is that you are feeding and housing these animals which in time will lead to more puppies therefore more mouths to feed. USE SOME OF THE MONEY YOU ARE ALL RAISING TO HAVE THE DOGS SPAYED/NUETERED. Start this and the problem will lessen, granted it will take a while but you have to start somewhere, yes?

I wish I lived in Limassol to help out a bit. I already have a dog and a baby so really don't have much room for another doggie but I do have some old blankets if they'll do?

[JB Bear]

Hi Everyone

I have seen June this afternoon, gave my little bit of dog food over, as always very grateful what she can get her hands on,

willipup
June will take them blankets off your hands, i have mentioned to her to pop back on the forums. when she see this she will respond to you.

poor girl is worn out, and her husband too, they are doing this all by themselves they need help and now, before these to people collapse they can not keep going the way they are, they both will end up in hospital if they are not careful,

you may say its their decision maybe so, but we all could help in some way or another sourly.

[junemichael]

Thank you JB, Pauline, Twinkle and everyone else who has given their support to these poor dogs. Twinkle please call me to arrange for Michael to meet you again to collect those goodies for the dogs (99786403) or email me direct. Pauline, thanks for all the fund raising you are doing, not long to the dog show, hope it goes really well. JB, you are fantastic with your help and support, I just wish we had more people like yourself who buys food each time they go to the supermarket, it really does help.

Please note we do not have regular income just the odd donation which is no where near enough for all the things that are needed for these dogs. Michael, my husband, did a sponsored walk and raised approx. £1,300 cyp which we are using to spay all the females at the shelter, I think we only have 10 to go now and at present they are kept separate. The problem we have is that many dogs that are dumped at the shelter are already heavily pregnant and we do not believe in destroying the puppies lives at such a late stage. At present we have 7 new born puppies at the shelter. We never put a dog to sleep and at the moment are full completely so do not have room for one more dog. We want to build some more cages but do not have the man power to do this. We have the materials (donated) to build 5 more cages but not the men to do the building, except my husband, who just don't have enough time to do this by himself. So any men out there willing to donate one or two days to get these cages built will mean we can separate some of the dogs as some of our cages have too many dogs in them at present.

Also is there anyone out there in Cyprus that would be willing to foster a dog occassionally while we try to find homes for them? Or sick dogs that need a couple of weeks recovery away from the shelter, or puppies that have more chance of being rehomed if they were already being fostered at someone's home? We find it is easier to rehome a dog if it is already in someone's home than if it is in the shelter.

Please keep the donations of food, blankets, medications and money coming, we need it ALL desperately.

Thank you everyone!!!
