BRITA OUR BLACK BEAUTY SHARPEI
This is the mother that was found on the road in Xylofagou village following a car accident which left her with a broken pelvis and 5 puppies.
All her puppies were rehomed to Germany and now it is the turn of this beautiful, gentle soul to find a loving forever home. In December 2023 she was only 18months old, a puppy herself and still tries to coax us to play with her. Utterly adorable.
ΒΡΗΤΑ - Η ΜΑΥΡΗ ΜΑΣ ΟΜΟΡΦΙΑ ΣΑΡΠΕΙ
Αυτή είναι η μητέρα που βρέθηκε στο δρόμο στο χωριό Ξυλοφάγου μετά από τροχαίο που βρέθηκε με σπασμένη λεκάνη και 5 κουτάβια.
Όλα τα κουτάβια της υιοθετήθηκαν στη Γερμανία και τώρα είναι η σειρά αυτής της όμορφης, ευγενικής ψυχής να βρει την δική της παντοτινή οικογένεια. Τον Δεκέμβριο του 2023 ήταν μόλις 18 μηνών, κουτάβι η ίδια και εξακολουθεί να προσπαθεί να μας πείσει να παίξουμε μαζί της. Απόλυτα αξιολάτρευτη.

A PROMO VIDEO OF OUR GENTLE SAVVIS
Another great video of our dog Savvis being promoted in Germany and taken by our colleagues during their visit to Cyprus.
This once frightened and withdrawn dog, took a long time to bring him out of his shell and trust humans again. Our volunteers Bill and Helena Pringle made many trips with Savvis to the Cessac coffee shop to get him used to the outside world, socialise him with tasty treats of sausage rolls!
ΕΝΑ ΠΡΟΜΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ ΤΟΥ ΕΥΓΕΝΟΥ ΣΑΒΒΗ ΜΑΣ
Άλλο ένα υπέροχο βίντεο με τον σκύλο μας Savvis που προωθείται στη Γερμανία και τραβήχτηκε από συναδέλφους μας κατά την επίσκεψή τους στην Κύπρο.
Αυτό το κάποτε φοβισμένο και αποτραβηγμένο σκυλί, άργησε να βγει από το καβούκι του και να εμπιστευτεί ξανά τους ανθρώπους. Οι εθελοντές μας Bill και Helena Pringle έκαναν πολλά ταξίδια με τον Savvis στην καφετέρια Cessac για να τον συνηθίσουν στον έξω κόσμο, να τον κοινωνικοποιήσουν με νόστιμες λιχουδιές από λουκανικόπιττες!!

EMBA ARRIVES IN GERMANY
In the early hours of Friday morning, Emba, our 5.5 month old Sharpei x puppy, weighing 16.5kg, left her siblings and the shelter, the only home she has known, to start a new life with a new family.
The whole experience must have been very stressful for Emba as she was very agitated on the journey to the airport. She finally meets her new family and reassured that she is in good hands, settles in the car homeward bound and falls into a deep sleep snoring in complete relaxation!
Thank you to the family for giving this beautiful soul a chance of a loving home within a family unit. We already miss this special girl and wish her a wonderful future.
Η EMBA ΦΤΑΝΕΙ ΣΤΗ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΑ
Τα ξημερώματα της Παρασκευής, η Έμπα, το κουτάβι ένα από τα κουτάβια μας που είναι 5.5 μηνών διασταρομένο Sharpei με βάρους 16,5 κιλών, άφησε τα αδέρφια της και το καταφύγιο, το μοναδικό σπίτι που γνώρισε, για να ξεκινήσει μια νέα ζωή με μια νέα οικογένεια.
Η όλη εμπειρία πρέπει να ήταν πολύ αγχωτική για την Έμπα καθώς ήταν πολύ ταραγμένη στο ταξίδι προς το αεροδρόμιο. Επιτέλους συναντά τη νέα της οικογένεια και καθησυχάζεται ότι είναι σε καλά χέρια, εγκαθίσταται στο αυτοκίνητο προς το σπίτι και πέφτει σε βαθύ ύπνο ροχαλίζοντας σε απόλυτη χαλάρωση!
Ευχαριστούμε την οικογένεια που έδωσε σε αυτήν την όμορφη ψυχή την ευκαιρία να αποκτήσει ένα αγαπημένο σπίτι μέσα σε μια οικογ

UPDATE ON KATIA IN HER NEW HOME
We get regular updates from the wonderful family who adopted our blind Katia about her progress in adapting to her new environment and also learning the new and different voices that she is now accustomed to hearing every day. She was very wary in the beginning but now, after much gentle caressing and love, she is slowly coming round and enjoying playing for the first time. Still not too enamored with the other cats in the house and growls at them when they come too close but every day she gets a little better. When we brought her to the shelter following her traumatic ordeal, she was in hiding for 9 months before she allowed her carers to handle her.
Thank you to everyone who donated to help Katia join her family in Germany who love her very much.
ΕΝΗΜΕΡΩΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΚΑΤΙΑ ΣΤΟ ΝΕΟ ΤΗΣ ΣΠΙΤΙ
Λαμβάνουμε τακτικές ενημερώσεις από την υπέροχη οικογένεια που υιοθέτησε την τυφλή μας Κάτια για την πρόοδό της στην προσαρμογή στο νέο της περιβάλλον και για την εκμάθηση των νέων και διαφορετικών φωνών που πλέον έχει συνηθίσει να ακούει καθημερινά. Ήταν πολύ επιφυλακτική στην αρχή αλλά τώρα, μετά από πολύ απαλό χάδι και αγάπη, σιγά σιγά έρχεται και απολαμβάνει να παίζει για πρώτη φορά. Ακόμα δεν είναι πολύ ερωτευμένη με τις άλλες γάτες στο σπίτι και τους γρυλίζει όταν πλησιάζουν πολύ, αλλά κάθε μέρα γίνεται λίγο καλύτερη. Όταν την φέραμε στο καταφύγιο μετά την τραυματική δοκιμασία της, κ
Gabby
It's many years since lucky Gabby was spotted by Canadian volunteers Elizabeth and Rebecca on a visit to Cyprus . Gabby was a dog many would have passed by with her wonky eye and shy character but look at her now . Famous for her birthdays and fancy jumpers and living the dream life in Ottawa Canada . Thank you to these beautiful sisters for the update and wonderful photos that show the older she grows the more she is loved
.......
We've now had our sweet girl Gabby for over 9 years and we just love her to the moon and back. She still loves lying in the sun and hasn't gotten used to the cold winters - but we'd like to think our love for her and all of her fun sweaters make up for that.
Gabby is doing wonderfully. She still goes to daycare to play with her friends (and her best friend Molly that she met the first week she ever went many years ago). She loves being with us and is our little shadow, following us around and always ready to cuddle.
She makes us laugh daily, especially when she walks around mumbling little noises to herself. We'd like to think that's where she earned her name "Gabby". For only having one eye, she sees so much - from watching the world go by on our car drives to watching the birds in the sky - she sees it all.
We wanted to thank everyone at Argos again for taking care of Gabby for her first few years and for us having the opportunity to come volunteer and see the incredible work that you do. We look forward to many more years with our Gabby Girl and thought you'd like to see some pictures too.

XMAS DAY FOR OUR DOGS
As our dogs are not in communal kennels and individually they show the same enthusiasm for each given meal, here is the preparation of their Xmas breakfast by our Sue Hannis who loves to shower special treats any day of the week. Xmas breakfast for our dogs was freshly roasted chicken mixed with their biscuits.
MERRY XMAS
Christmas is not only special for us but we make sure that our animals get a special treat on this special day. Here our cats get a special treat of chicken and mackerel!

LENNY's NEW LIFE
Lenny was rescued by Sotiroula Georgiou, a great animal lover and rescuer and when the shelter she was renting had flooded in October last year, we offered her 17 dogs and 11 cats shelter at Argos.
We never imagined that big Lenny, a boisterous and very active Belgian Malinois would find a home as people nowadays look for smaller dogs to fit in with smaller homes. But Lenny's handsome face and physique caught the eye of a lovely family in Cyprus who fell in love with him straight away.
The family already had a dog and a cat and they had to be sure that their dog accepted the newcomer and that Lenny would get on with them. Herewith are the results that patience and love can achieve.
Η ΝΕΑ ΖΩΗ ΤΟΥ LENNY
Ο Λένυ διασώθηκε από τη Σωτηρούλα Γεωργίου, μια μεγάλη φιλόζωη και διασώστρία και όταν το καταφύγιο που νοίκιαζε είχε πλημμυρίσει τον περασμένο Οκτώβριο, της προσφέραμε καταφύγιο για 17 σκύλους και 11 γατους στο Άργος.
Ποτέ δεν φανταζόμασταν ότι ο μεγάλος Lenny, ένας θορυβώδης και πολύ δραστήριος Βέλγος Μαλινουά θα έβρισκε σπίτι καθώς οι άνθρωποι σήμερα αναζητούν μικρότερα σκυλιά για να χωρέσουν σε μικρότερα σπίτια. Αλλά το όμορφο πρόσωπο και η σωματική διάπλαση του Λένι τράβηξαν τα βλέμματα μιας υπέροχης οικογένειας στην Κύπρο που τον ερωτεύτηκε αμέσως.
Η οικογένεια είχε ήδη ένα σκύλο και μια γάτα και έπρεπε να είναι σίγουροι ότι ο σκύλος τους αποδέχτηκε το
ADORABLE AND PLAYFUL PUPPY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME
Meet "Scout" a very playful and friendly with all and everything 6-month old puppy is looking for his forever home. Our member, Jo Bell, picked him up from the motorway literally as soon as she left the airport and was making her way to the shelter. Lucky boy to have been found by our Jo and very likely relieved at being picked up from the noisy motorway. We are not sure what he is mixed with but from the size of him and his paws, he looks as though he will be a big boy.
He is healthy and has a passport and could travel abroad. If you would like to meet Scout, The Argos shelter is open from 10 - 13.30 seven days a week.
UPDATE ON BILLY IN HIS NEW HOME
Billy is one of the three dogs from the Avgorou pound and the one who was in the pound for three months, taken in when he was two months old. So really, the cage was the only home he had known and only responded to his carer. When brought to Argos sanctuary, he was withdrawn and would hide in his kennel when he was approached. Billy soon turned around and became the brave one of the three and accepted as the leader of the pack.
Here he is in his new home in Germany, happy, playful and above all, enjoying his new life.

ADORABLE CHARLIE DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A HOME
Charlie, the name given to him by his rescuer, was badly abused by his initial "family" who had him since the age of 6 weeks old. This is how his rescuer describes Charlie;
"I've named him Charlie, as he previously didn't even have a name despite his age. I am unsure of the exact date he was born but it would be sometime around 2nd June 2022 making him about 11 months as of now. As he was possibly adopted around 6 weeks old. I believe his owners brought him home 14th July 2022.
Not exactly sure what breed he is, the owners were told "Pointer" but looking at him he doesn't look like a Pointer. Possibly a Labrador cross as he's quite a big boy.
Charlie has never played with another dog and until recently he never knew what a dog was! In the last few weeks he's been able to see a dog through a fence. Again until recently Charlie had never had a kennel/bed (he had slept in his own filth on concrete) he'd be locked in a dirty small cage at the end of a garden with limited contact with humans, never walked or played with, never had toys and often went without meals or was fed inappropriate things, such as literal rubbish or just things he shouldn't be eating. It was honestly heart breaking knowing what he came from, a place of very bad neglect and what he's gone through in his short life so far... but despite this he's a great little personality, he's such a happy people pleaser. He loves being around people.
Please message us if you are interested in Charlie so we can put you in touch with his foster mum.

A LOVELY UPDATE ON DOLLY - the perfect companion

Perfectly perfect in every way, love her to bits, thankyou for guiding us to her, best decision ever x"
No other comment from me....................

"Τέλεια Ντόλυ μου, αγαπά την παραλία, αγαπά τους πάντες, αγαπά τη ζωή και το ίδιο είμαι και εγώ μαζί της. Τέλεια από κάθε άποψη, την αγαπώ τόσο πολύ, σας ευχαριστώ που μας καθοδήγησατε σε αυτήν, η καλύτερη απόφαση ποτέ Χ"
