Dear all



On our site we have been blessed with 2 lovely dogs who have obviously had previous owners as they are house trained and walk to your heel. Unfortunately the site do not allow dogs unless permission has been granted and these 2 are set to dumped somewhere else if we cant home them.



1 is approx 6months old Beagal and the other approx 18month old cyprus terrier cross of some sort.



They are both well trained, well behaved and great with kids.



We have tried KAR but they are full and if we have to get the police or Belediye out they will more than likely be put down which we really don't want to happen.



If anyone is able to help in any way it would be greatly appreciated. 1 of the couples on site are a real dog loving family and have taken the job of looking after them whilst they are here for the next couple of weeks and we would really like to find them a loving home before they leave as they simply can't stay on site.

Please please help



Many thanks

SuperTed

Why why why can't a law be passed that every pet on the Island is chipped and ANY animal found, NOT chipped, (there could be regular testing of any animal found wandering) be euthanized immediately. That would concentrate the minds of all owners, those that care for their animals, ex-pats or indigenous - that can afford to feed their animals, can afford to chip them - those that don't - it will be doing the animal a favour to be put out of its misery. Also - every pet should be sterilised or spayed. I'm not on the Island at the moment, but can't anyone with influence in the media, or with the government (or even KAR)? get this on television, newspapers, radio...........?

It would not "concentrate the minds of owners" a lot of loose dogs are from British people who have returned to UK and because nobody will take them in, including KAR, they are just let loose.



Also most Cypriot owners think dogs are not pets but have to serve a purpose hence when the purpose has gone the dog will either be shot or let loose where some stupid British person will take them in and..........

Hi Sayman,



Can you try and get photographs of both dogs and post them on the board as I think most people would like to see what they look like? Also are they dogs or bitches?

Cyprusishome,

Mess 3,



I am one of those brits who happen to care about animals and will do whatever I feel is necessary to help them and I'm not stupid.



Last week a local TC dumped his 18 month old Alsation outside our Villa without water shade or food for 3 days in tempretures of 35c.



How long would you last in the same conditions without any help.?

magicart.



I got six cats so do not come the smart a***, always think before you post. I am simply stating the facts as they are.There are only so many animals that can be rescued.



I would advocate a mass cull to clear the streets of all stray and wandering animals before the country is over run.

We all know that there are very bad problems with stray animals in the TRNC. I am an animal lover myself but I am realistic about the situation and realise that the expat community cannot save all these animals. What is the point in spaying and neutering them and returning them to the streets to a life of hunger and misery, wouldn't it be best for them to be put to sleep humanely? The last time I was in Kyrenia at night, there was a pack of dogs, there must have been 20 of them just up from the harbour. I found the experience very frightening and wondered how long it will be before a child gets injured or they cause a serious road accident. Will this have to happen before something is done about them? Also is it just the expat community who abandon their dogs when they return to the UK or move on, or are some of these animals turned out by the Turkish Cypriots? Most of the local dogs I have seen are chained up or are in cages without shade, which is equally shocking. cont.

In the coming months the problem is only going to get worse, as the price of shipping animals back to the UK has risen since CTA have gone.

No mess 3 and 6.



I rarely get angry and appreciate other peoples views but I'm not prepared to be called stupid for helping defenceless animals.



The dog we rescued last week was "dying a living death"-chained up/no water/shade or food.



He's on the mend now and we think we have found him a proper home(we have 2 of our own).



Thanks

I think "cyprusishome" is spouting his usual drivel.

Blaming people and calling people stupid is not the answer. There is good and bad in all races of people.

We need to work together to help these poor animals!
