35 dogs from a shelter in Nicosia are waiting for new homes

Thirty-five dogs residing at the Nicosia Municipal Shelter are seeking responsible owners. According to information provided by the municipality, all the animals participating in the campaign have been vaccinated, sterilized, and microchipped. They also have health certificates.

City officials reminded people about adoptions on World Animal Day, celebrated on October 4th. Those interested in adopting a dog can contact the shelter operator, SIMBA ANIMAL AID LTD, call +357 99 657631to learn about the available animals and arrange the details of your visit.

Dog adoption in Cyprus. Animals are waiting in Nicosia.

The campaign aims to find permanent homes for dogs residing in the temporary shelter. The city encourages residents to adopt responsibly and provide care for the animals even after the campaign ends.

Vaccinations, sterilization, and microchipping are important preparations for handing over your dog to a new owner. A health record, on the other hand, allows you to review documented vaccinations and treatments.

Before making a decision, it is worth discussing the health condition of a specific animal and any possible needs for further treatment or care with the shelter staff.

The microchip itself doesn't indicate the dog's location. It allows for the identification number to be read, so it's equally important to correctly assign it to the owner's current information.

How to make an appointment with your dog?

Information about animals and the adoption process is available from SIMBA ANIMAL AID LTD. During the interview, it's worth asking about the dog's age, temperament, activity level, and behavior toward people and other animals.

People who live with children or already own a dog should inform them before choosing a pet. This will allow them to better assess whether the pet will be a good fit for their home.

It's also worth arranging a meeting and asking about the adoption requirements, required documents, and any fees. The announcement itself doesn't outline the full procedure for surrendering an animal.

It's about fit, not just appearance

A photo can encourage people to get to know the dog, but it shouldn't be the sole basis for a decision. The animal's needs and the ability to provide it with adequate living conditions for years to come are more important.

An active dog will need regular walks and activities. Another may require a quiet environment, patient trust-building, or additional veterinary care.

Before adopting, consider the daily time you'll need to dedicate to the animal, the cost of food and treatment, and care during travel. If you're renting an apartment, it's worth checking the terms of your pet agreement beforehand.

You can also help by sharing information

Not everyone can adopt a dog. However, sharing the campaign can help reach those who are ready to adopt.

It's best to ask the shelter operator directly about other forms of support. This will allow you to determine their current needs.

World Animal Day is an opportunity to remember those in shelters, but finding them responsible families remains important even after October 4th. For information about the dogs included in the campaign, please contact us on +357 99 657631.
