Husky bitch and puppies

This is the lovely husky bitch that would have been put to sleep if Parc had not stepped in and saved her and four of her babies. We have homes for three of them only one puppy is available for the right person. They are perfect fat puppies now only two weeks old. Mother has a splendid character and she is really caring for her babies.

Our puppies with their new owners in Germany

Our gorgeous puppies being collected by their new owners in Germany. Our special thanks to our foster parents who cared for these delightful puppies until they could fly to Germany. Chris and Glenda fostered Molly and Dr. Maria cared for Max and Sindy. Sadly Chris and Glenda have left Cyprus and returned to the UK. They will be sadly missed as they were very good supporters of Parc. We do of course wish them well.

Ruth is back!!!!!

Hi everyone. Two weeks in the UK and I come back to lots of work. First the good news. The little dog has now got a good home. Thank goodness for that. Before he was rescued he was tied to a tree and covered in fleas and ticks. At least his Cypriot owner had the decency to give him up.
Secondly our lovely puppies went to Germany and all three are now with their new owners. We all wish them well and thank Eve and Barbara for their help with these little ones.
While I was away the team agreed to take the Husky bitch and three of her puppies. They are now being fostered by Suzy and Nick (what would we do without you two?) The puppies are absolutely adorable. They are now three weeks old so will need homes in about six weeks. Good timing the weather will be cooler then so more people willing to take puppies we hope. We will also need a good home for the bitch. I believe she is pure Husky and the puppies are all husky type puppies. In the UK you would pay a thousand pounds plus for these dogs. A picture will be posted tomorrow.
Finally we have of course got kittens that need homes. We have two threee month old happy friendly kittens, one ginger female and one tabby and white male. Also we have two male tabby kittens that are about eight weeks old. Although we do not charge for kittens we are now asking people to help us with the costs incurred. This is because we are struggling badly to meet the cost of caring for the cats and dogs that have no owners so we do think it is reasonable to ask people who take an animal from us to cover the cost involved. If anyone cannot do this then we will discuss the situation with them and try and resolve the matter satisfactorily. First and foremost a good home for an animal is our first and last priority. If you want to see any of our babies you can telephone me on 99961157.

Kayak (canoe) for sale.

This fabulous Kayak (canoe) has been donated to Parc. There is a compartment in it for storage on the front of the kayak. In the sitting part of the boat there is a cushion. On the back of the kayak there is a net to keep things under. It is in very good condition it cost over 700 euros and we would like offers around 300 euros. Telephone 26332239 or 99961157 for more information or to view.

Dogs to Germany

We are pleased to advise that we are now working with Eve and Barbara who help dogs and puppies find a new home in Germany. Three of our puppies have secured lovely homes and will fly out on Monday. We wish them well.
Obviously there are cost implications which we all try and share ie the new owners, the organisation who export them and the people who are looking for homes. If you would like to support this venture we would appreciate a donation specifically for our Flying Fund.
People may ask why we need to do this. Firstly, there are far too many dogs in Cyprus and no where near enough good homes here. Also, many British are returning to UK and are either unwilling or unable to take their dogs with them. I have just had a referral this week. Some Brits are going back next Wednesday and if a home cannot be found for their dog they are putting her to sleep. She is pregnant so they will be killing her puppies too. She is a well behaved bitch, lived in a family home, housetrained and has no vices. Why kill this lovely dog? I only wish I had the answer. I have found a lovely couple who have agreed to foster her but they can only cope with one puppy so the others would need to be destroyed. I dont know why this is happening I only know it is. We at Parc are working tirelessly with few volunteers, little money, limited foster homes and struggling with endless referrals. Dogs to Germany is very helpful indeed but we do need more support in order to carry on this work. Please please think about sending us a donation. Every euro helps. Many thanks Ruth

Hi to all

Firstly, thanks to all who attending our fund raising dinner/disco at Coral Star. The evening went well and we raised 1450 euros for the animals. We appreciate your support.
Sadly, I have to apologise for the meal served on this occasion. We felt it was a great disappointment certainly not up to usual standards. We have complained to Coral Star. They have apologised and acknowledged it was not up to scratch but we have not received any discount or donation from them. In the circumstances I feel it necessary to apologise to everyone personally and to say that we will in future be looking for a different venue for Parc do's. I do hope you will continue to support us as we certainly need your support if we are going to be able to continue doing the work we are doing with the animals here in Cyprus.
We are desperately in need of funds and are asking if anyone has any items we can sell at the market can you please take it to the Duckpond market either on Wednesday or a Sunday and give it to Marcus who will sell it on our behalf at no commission. If you cant get there can you telephone Marcus on 99804580 he will try and collect in the Paphos area.
He needs good quality books, electrical items, nearly new clothing, jewellery, DVD's and Cd's as well as bric a brac in fact any smallish items that are sought after.
Finally Ruth is in the UK for two weeks from the 4th August but the website will be updated by Clare so keep looking in as we need to keep our stats up.
Dont forget we have kittens that need homes. Thanks Ruth

Young male puppy/dog

Young male puppy/dog needs a home now. He has been tied up to a tree with no shelter. His owner has agreed to release him to Parc for re homing. He is very friendly and gets on well with other dogs. All he wants is for someone to cuddle him. He is being fostered by Gill and Pete at Shampooch . If you want to see him contact them at their pet shop or telephone 99051367 for more information.


GOOD NEWS! THIS LOVELY LITTLE DOG HAS NOW GOT A FOREVER HOME. BETTER THAN BEING TIED UP TO A TREE AND BEING INFESTED WITH TICKS AND FLEAS. WE WISH HIS WELL. THANKS TO GILL AND PETE AT SHAMPOOCH WHO HAVE CARED FOR HIM ON BEHALF OF PARC.

Remember Silky!

Silky is the beautiful cat that has a British pet passport and was going to go to UK but then stayed her and was homed with a lovely lady, Leonora, who lives on her own and spoils him rotten.
Well 2 months ago he went missing for a week and his owner was frantic. He eventually found his way back but was covered in engine oil. Despite every effort it was necessary to take off his lovely silky coat and leave him looking like a neglected moggy. His owner has kindly sent us pictures of him before and after. Although he still hasnt got his silky gloss back the pictures show he is well on the way. Here is his story written with a little help from Leonora.


Remember me? The beautiful long haired one who found a new home and changed his name to "Puss-in-Boots"'?Well, here I am again - and what a mess I am!
I had gone "absent without leave" for 7 days and nights causing great grief , worry and sleepless nights , when I decided that ,perhaps, home was best after all. Somehow I had managed to cover all of me in thick black engine oil which made me hardly recognisable, and, as I immediately jumped on to my favourite place on the bed, also made me not too popular! Then found myself picked up and put into a sink full of warm soapy water - not a pleasant experience, immediately followed by finding myself inside the cat transporter box I dislike very much and in the car. Arrived at the "Place of the smells" and don't remember anything until the next morning when, once again at home via nasty cat transporter, I found that all my glorious fur had been shorn off and I had to embark on a series of major cleaning operations on what was left - heard "them" saying that all my nice white and orange bits had turned a fashionable grey - and that I now had the appearance of a mixture of Ocelot and very short haired whet cat which sounded most offensive. Seems that the previous coat had hidden the fact that I was covered in spots! Was rather pleased to be at home and made sure I was looked after by deciding to live ON her rather then just WITH her for a few days just as the weather turned really warm. Took me sometime to regain a reasonable looking fur which is now growing nicely - I can even tolerate having a photograph taken which I am sending you on a separate e mail. Kind regards from a once again happily settled but home punctually at 9.45pm every night Puss-inBoots
so wrote his story which I am pleased to pass on to you.

Another puppy going to Germany!

No sooner had I updated to say thank you for finding homes for two of our puppies than I heard that my lovely Iris has been chosen too. This is lovely because she will be able to travel there with her brother. Thank you so much I am sure they will have lovely homes with lovely people.

Just had a response about our Summer Bash. Two people are travelling all the way from Limassol to join us. Great news it's nice to know we have the support of people from other areas.

Just heard a young black (labrador type) male dog needs a home. He is about a year old and was going to be shot before he was rescued. If you can help give me a call. Thanks Ruth

Two puppies

I am delighted to confirm that two of our puppies have been offered homes in Germany. This is thanks to Barbara and Eve who work very hard organising exports to Germany. The great thing is that a dog being exported to Germany (or anywhere else in Europe except the UK) can travel within a month of having a Rabies vaccine and does not need to wait six months as they do if they are going to Britain. While I understand the fears of many in Britain I do feel strongly that the restrictions are unnecessary when animals are travelling from Cyprus (a Rabies free Country like Britain). Many more people would be willing to take their animals back to UK if they didnt have to wait six months. The other problem is many have them vaccinated and blood tested intending to take them back but once they have gone from here the attachment reduces and by the time the six months are up many decide they cant be bothered to fly them back. I have just heard of a 5 year old Shepherd x that has been cared for in a foster home here for five months waiting to fly to his owner, the owner has decided she doesnt want him and has told the foster carer to put him to sleep. This is not fiction it is fact. As Littlejohn would say "You couldn't make itup"
Anyway a million thanks to Barbara, Eve and all the people in Germany for choosing two of our lovely puppies. We still have other dogs, cats, puppies and kittens so give me a call if you can help. Thanks Ruth The puppy pictured is still available she is absolutely delightful and brilliant with adults, children, dogs and cats.
