Prairie Dog

Say hello to Nora – 1 year old female Saluki Cross who’s shy, sweet, and quietly adorable. She’ll warm up quickly in a loving home, especially if you’re around a lot to give her those cuddles she craves. Nora was rescued when she was a newborn pup after her mum had been abandoned to the streets of Muscat. They went into foster until Nora was 3 months old and now she is in a boarding facility. She has recently spent time in a foster home again which gave us a good insight into her behaviour in a home environment. Her foster family describes her as shy, sweet, and quiet. She does like some people instantly but will need some time with others to get closer. With the foster mum being at home a lot, she warmed up fast and started to cuddle and play. She followed her two foster sisters in everything and copied their behavior, but there was some conflict at times over toys and space. The foster family thinks she’d be better in a home with other dogs as long as they were male or frie...

Grant is a four month old cross-breed. Grant’s litter, aka the G pups, arrived at the shelter in June after they were all found living together as strays without their mum. They were terrified to begin with and spent a lot of time huddled together in their kennel, completely overwhelmed and frightened. After a few days they gradually started to get a bit braver, and now they’re ready for adoption. At a glance, Grant looks just as confident as his siblings. He’s always at the bars of the kennel jumping up to meet new people with his brothers and sisters, and the fact that he’s the only pup in the litter with huge ears also draws a lot of attention to him. However, Grant is actually the most nervous of the pups. As soon as he’s separated from his siblings, he is very unsure of what to do. He is such a sweet, soft and gentle boy, and he just needs a slightly more patient, calm and understanding home who can go at his pace. We’ve seen so many pups like Grant in our time and the power o...

Noemi is a beautiful 1 year old female English Setter who was handed over by her hunter because she wasn’t wanted for hunting. She’s a very affectionate girl who loves being close to people and enjoys all the attention and fuss she can get. Noemi is a lively girl with lots of energy and finds kennel life very stressful. She gets quite anxious and restless in her kennel and really struggles to settle, so she would benefit from an environment where she has more space to relax. She absolutely loves getting out into the secure area at the shelter where she can run around to her heart’s content! She can be quite excitable around food and gets a little anxious at mealtimes, so would need to be fed separately from other dogs for the foreseeable. She’s sociable with other dogs and very loving with people. She also comes running when she’s called at the shelter but this will likely be different on an exciting walk, she is a setter after all! Noemi is a sweet girl with a lot of love to give...

Mabel is a medium sized crossbreed aged around four years old. Mabel fostered Badersfield Norfolk. Mabel came into our care a few weeks ago from Roxanas shelter in Romania. She was initially found in a nearby village after her and her siblings were abandoned as puppies. Mabel is a timid and reserved character who has been in her foster home for approximately 12 weeks, making gradual progress. Initially, she was fearful of human touch, but recently, she has started to enjoy affection and gets excited when she sees familiar faces. Mabel requires a home with at least one other dog as permanent resident, as she relies heavily on her pack. She loves going for walks, but prefers quieter areas due to her sensitivity to traffic. She could live with respectful children aged twelve plus. TERMS AND CONDITIONS When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations mi...

Donky is a medium Boxer cross, 5 years old. Donky was given up alongside his brother, Monky, and thankfully they both found their way into one of the shelters we work closely with. Donky is a beautiful, medium-sized Boxer mix and an absolute ray of sunshine. He is sociable, affectionate, playful and active, and he loves being around people. He’s happiest when he’s with his humans and would love to be part of a family where he can be involved in everyday life. He is good with other dogs, but he could also happily live as the only dog in the home. In fact, he would probably be very happy being the centre of someone’s world and having all the attention to himself! With people, Donky is calm and gentle. He is currently walking nicely on his lead and is already showing us that he’s a clever boy – he even does a very cute little sit! He is eager to learn and, with some continued guidance and positive training, we think he will be a real pleasure to work with. Donky is good with childr...

Neo is a 3-year-old male Cross-Breed. We don’t know what his life was like before, but one thing’s clear: this boy has a heart full of love and a whole lot of life left to give. Found wandering alone in a remote Croatian village, Neo was abandoned and left to fend for himself. But despite it all, he hasn’t lost his sweetness — in fact, it’s what shines brightest about him. He’s an incredibly gentle, people-oriented dog who thrives on human connection. Neo craves companionship and bonds deeply with those who give him affection. While he gets along with female dogs and some males, he’d definitely prefer to be the only dog in the home — not because he’s difficult, but because he’s just built for soaking up all the love on offer. Neo weighs 28kg and stands at 55cm tall, making him a solid, medium-large boy who’s full of energy and ready for adventure. He’s healthy, eager for his next chapter, and absolutely deserves a safe, stable home where he can finally exhale. Through Meadow of Ho...

Our extra special boy Bagel is approximately four years old and a medium sized cross breed hound. Bagel weighs a delightful seventeen kilos and measures twelve inches from shoulder to paw. Having been surrendered by his owner as no longer able to keep, Bagel has been in our Cyprus shelter for six weeks. Bagel is staggeringly attractive. His tri colour coat is exemplary along with the array of freckles on his chest. His shining eyes glow with happiness and his ears are of world champion standard. Perhaps we should also note his two pairs of size ten boots. When Bagel goes on his dog walks, he will quickly become the talk of the town. Our shelter manager describes Bagel’s manners as perfect, and she firmly believes he will make a wonderful family dog. What a star. Bagel walks really nicely on his lead and enjoys his time in the car. He seems to mix perfectly well with other dogs, cats and children. http://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/d25b8cd8-ae11-4e46-83eb-a22e3e31...

Pablo is a 3-year-old male Cross-Breed. He is a medium-to-large-sized dog who has made incredible progress since arriving in care. Initially, Pablo was a confused adolescent who struggled with communication, often becoming frustrated and overstimulated. This would lead to him jumping up and mouthing, which, given his size, could be overwhelming. Unfortunately, this behaviour resulted in him making a mistake in his previous home. With dedicated training and patience, Pablo has transformed into a well-mannered and much more settled dog. His love for food and toys has been an excellent aid in his training, helping him learn positive behaviours. He is now a lovable rogue with so much potential for the right person. However, he still needs an experienced owner who understands bull breeds and can continue his training. Pablo thrives in a calm and structured environment with clear boundaries and regular stimulation. He will need an adult-only home that is quiet and free from frequent visito...

Please meet Spirited Sultan! Sultan is a 2 year old Bedlington Terrier. Sultan came to us following the arrival of a new baby. He struggled to adjust to this and as a result will need a home with teenage children or adults only. True to their terrier type, Bedlington’s are “spirited and fierce” as they are very skilled hunters in the field and remain so when kept in a domestic environment. One of the oldest purebred terriers ever, the Bedlington was originally bred in northern England, but by 1877 its reputation as an extremely capable hunter was spreading to other regions of the country. These dogs may look like lambs, but they have the heart of a lion. Sultan is very typical of the breed and will need an owner with experience of this breed. He can be a lovely little cuddle bug but when he gets bored or wants to hunt, he soon becomes a demon!! Please do not be fooled by his cute fluffy coat, he is the definition of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, all 13kg of hi...

Meet Cleo – Tiny in Size, Big in Personality! Cleo – DOB: 18 May 2024 Tiny | Confident | Friendly | Dog-friendly Cleo is another one of our tiny little dots of a dog – but this little girl has a personality much bigger than her size! Cleo is a sweet, confident and friendly girl who really enjoys being around people. She loves attention and is definitely a little more “me, me, me!” than some of our other tiny dogs! She likes to know that she is included and would love a home where she can be a very important part of the family. She is great with other dogs and could live with a canine companion, but we think she may actually be happiest as an only dog where she doesn’t have to share all that attention. If she does live with another dog, they would need to be friendly and non-dominant – Cleo certainly wouldn’t be suited to living with a dog who likes to boss her around! Cleo hasn’t lived in a house before, so her new family will need to help her learn all about ho...

Meet Pongo The Sweetest Little Man Looking for His Forever Home Pongo – DOB: 23 April 2024 Pongo is one of those little dogs who will completely melt your heart. Despite having a very unhappy start in life and not receiving the love and care he deserved from his previous owner, Pongo has come through it with the most beautiful, friendly nature. When Pongo arrived with us, he was quite poorly, and our vets believe this was caused by a blockage. Thankfully, he has received the treatment he needed and is now very much on the mend. He is eating happily, wagging his tail and showing us more and more of his lovely personality every day. There are no lasting effects expected from his illness. Pongo absolutely LOVES his people. He is an affectionate little chap who wants to be close to you, give you his paw and enjoy plenty of cuddles. He can become very attached to his people, so his ideal home will be one where he doesn’t have to compete for attention. He is clean in the house,...

Lottie and Lucy are 15 month old female Labrador Retriever Crosses. These beautiful sisters were found in a field in Romania when they were tiny. They are very friendly, lively, and medium-sized. They love to move around, but currently, they only have a kennel to run around in. They are bored and really need a proper life now, as they don’t get out at all. It would be lovely if they could be homed together, but it’s not essential. They need adopters who have plenty of time for them and can offer a fun and interesting life. These girls are fantastic. They are vaccinated, microchipped, and will have the Brucellosis test. The adoption fee is £475, which includes transport to your home. A home check is required, and there is rescue backup. https://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7985214b-ce33-404e-bd85-a9e9ff8072b1.mp4

Our extra special girl Jasmine is approximately one year old and a delightful small cross breed. Jasmine weighs a humble seven kilos and measures eleven inches from shoulder to paw. Having been found abandoned on the streets, Jasmine has been in our Cyprus shelter for three weeks. Jasmine is stunningly attractive. She has incredibly delicate features and the most beautiful facial expressions. This blends so well with her bubbly and fun-loving disposition. Jasmine’s coat and markings are sublime. She has some classic black and tan with a distinctive white flash to her chest. And then there’s the gorgeous half tone brindle along her back. If ever a dog were to stand out from the crowd it would be Jasmine. She is youthful, fun loving, affable and affectionate. Jasmine so yearns for human interaction and will make a glorious family dog.

Junior is a 3-year-old male Dachshund Cross. He was rescued from a deprived area of Hungary in very poor condition and has since been given a second chance at life. Despite everything he has been through, he has remained a sweet and affectionate little dog. He has been waiting patiently while other dogs around him have found homes, yet he has somehow been overlooked. This is especially sad because he is described as a lovable and funny boy who truly enjoys human company. More than anything, he is simply longing to be part of a family of his own. Junior walks nicely on the lead and enjoys getting out and about. He loves people and shows a gentle and friendly nature in his interactions. His kind temperament also means he is patient when around children. When it comes to other dogs, Junior’s preference is for female dogs. He would be happiest living with a spayed female companion or as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention. This flexibility means he could su...

Meet Valentin, a 1.5 year old male Hound Cross weighing 25 kilograms. He’s a beautiful young hound who has already been through so much in his short life. Valentin came from a pound in northern Spain, where he was sadly stuck for six months before being rescued. Like many hounds in the region, he was likely a discarded hunting dog, but despite his past, he has kept his gentle spirit. This lovely boy is in excellent health – he has been fully blood tested (including brucellosis), neutered, microchipped, and has his passport ready for travel. Valentin gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions. He can be a little timid when first meeting new people, but he warms up with patience and kindness and is incredibly loyal once he trusts you. Valentin is ready to start the next chapter of his life – and he can travel! He is ready to travel, making it easier than ever to welcome him into your family. As with all of our dogs, he comes with full re...
