The ANIMAL SHELTER in Didim belongs to the Didim Belediyesi. They ARE NOT a CHARITY, it is a council run animal shelter for spay neuter and release and ownerless animals needing medical veterinary treatments ... it IS NOT a REHOMING CENTRE .. ANYONE over 18 years of age can adopt from the shelter, you just need a TC kimlik or a residency permit. They take your personal contact details and your address. BUT they DONOT arrange home or people checks.
IF anyone ADOPTS/ FOSTERS a dog through us CoDA , we do carry out home checks, we visit the homes personally and keep in contact. Even if the dog is going to the UK .. we know our transporter personally and are in constant contact before, during and after the long journey overland from here in Turkey to the 4ever home in the Uk. We have Team CoDA UK who deals with and arranges everything necessary their end.
Please do not assume .. nothing in Turkey regarding animals bares the slightest resemblance of what happens in the UK.
As a charity in Turkey but British run we work within the realms of the Animal Turkish Law 5199. And we do everything that is possibly possible .
We DO NOT have a private kennels, grounds or holding areas.
But please remember, we are all volunteers .. our time is given free , we have no jurisdiction over the law or any animal related issues in Turkey .... these have to be taken up with the local authorities.
From our own experiences we can offer help guidance and assistance as and when we can.
