They keep arriving.
Help them leave.

Every year, thousands of dogs land in Cyprus shelters that are already past full. withBobi exists to help get them out โ€” one adoption, one share, one small act at a time.

CYPRUS ยท 1 STRAY DOG FOR EVERY 6 PEOPLE
Our mission

Show that even the smallest act can change a life.

Every day, thousands of dogs are abandoned across Europe. They're not numbers. Each one is a story waiting for someone to show up.

We're building a community where good things actually travel fast โ€” where a share, a small donation, or just showing up at the right moment can change a dog's whole story.

It's not about charity. It's about ordinary people who believe that even one small thing โ€” done together, done often โ€” can shift what's possible for thousands of dogs.

The reality

Cyprus has a quiet crisis.
Together we can change it.

Behind the postcards and holiday photos, thousands of dogs are roaming the island โ€” abandoned, overlooked, forgotten. Shelters are stretched past their limits. But something in the community is shifting.

For context: Cyprus has a population of roughly 1.2 million people. That's roughly 1 stray dog for every 6 people โ€” one of the highest rates in Europe.

A turning point

Awareness is the first rescue.

Every story shared, every dog seen, every voice raised gets us one step closer to a Cyprus where no dog goes unseen. That's what we're building here โ€” together.

Real stories

Journeys you can follow.

Every dog here gets a name, a profile, a real timeline โ€” and real people cheering them on.

The first 100 dogs get their full profiles live โ€” real names, real stories, real photos.

A shelter network island-wide, foster matching, and a community map connecting people across Cyprus.

Everything we built for Cyprus, made available to any shelter in Europe that wants in.

A worldwide community where no dog goes unnoticed โ€” and someone always shows up.

About withBobi

Cyprus's pet adoption platform for rescue dogs

withBobi helps you adopt a rescue dog in Cyprus. We work with animal shelters, fosters and volunteers across Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta to give every stray and shelter dog a real shot at a forever home.

Cyprus has one of the highest rates of stray dogs in Europe. Pet rehoming in Cyprus is hard โ€” shelters are full, resources are stretched, and most rescue dogs never get a profile. withBobi changes that. Each rescue dog gets a real story, real photos, and a direct line to its rescue.

Whether you're looking to adopt a dog in Cyprus, sponsor a rescue, foster, or share a story โ€” every action gets a shelter dog one step closer to a loving home, in Cyprus or across Europe.
