Zac is a 5 month old male Cross-Breed currently in a shelter in Cyprus. He was found on a beach alongside his mum and three siblings. All are now safe and well, and the puppies are thriving and growing fast. We think that the pups will be medium in size when fully grown, around 15-20kg. In the shelter, the puppies are learning to socialise, but they really need a loving home to bring them on and help them reach their full potential. Zac is slightly smaller than his siblings and incredibly shy and worried. He is the baby who hides behind his big brother—so timid. Zac has such a soulful face and the most wonderful Black and Tan colouring; he looks like a black dog who has been dipped feet-first into a pot of ginger paint! His long silky ears are tipped with ginger, and his dark eyes reflect his innocence and youth. Zac is looking for his forever home. He will need adopters who understand the commitment needed for raising a puppy. Zac will require lots of time and patience to train an...

It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled,...

When we launched GoPetFriendly sixteen years ago, our goal was to make it easy for people to travel with their pets. Perhaps you remember what it was like back then … when finding places to stay and things to do with your pets was HARD. It wasn’t that the idea of taking your pets with you on vacation was a new concept. Some people had been doing it for years. But they were the exception. Most people believed that traveling with a pet was extravagant, or weird, or just too difficult.   Pet Travel Gained Acceptance Things certainly have changed! Perhaps creating GoPetFriendly helped sparked a shift in thinking. But, over the years, millions of pet lovers have visited the site to plan trips with their furry family members, and that absolutely delights me! Eventually, as more people began traveling with their pets, businesses recognized the opportunity. Soon hotels, restaurants, and even entire cities began touting the fact that they were pet friendly. They added pet policies a...
