Adopt a Dog in the Famagusta & Ayia Napa Area

Looking to adopt a dog in the Famagusta area β€” Ayia Napa, Paralimni, Protaras or Deryneia? withBobi lists rescue dogs from independent shelters and foster homes across Cyprus. Browse the profiles, find a dog that fits your life, and send an inquiry straight from the dog's page. The rescue or foster replies to you directly β€” no forms lost in a queue.

One honest note: most of the dogs listed today are fostered in and around Limassol, at places like Robert's Sanctuary. Adopters come from every corner of the island, though, and the drive from Ayia Napa is about 90 minutes on the motorway. Once your inquiry is accepted, you agree on a meeting with the rescue, spend time with the dog, and take it from there.

Why adopt through withBobi

withBobi is a platform, not a shelter. We connect you directly with the independent rescues and fosters who actually know each dog β€” no middleman, no platform fees, and the adoption donation goes straight to the rescue. We also run Cyprus's live SOS map: spot an injured or stray animal anywhere in the Famagusta district, report it in about 30 seconds, and nearby volunteers get alerted through our Telegram channel.

Questions people ask

How much does it cost to adopt a dog through withBobi?

withBobi charges nothing. Each rescue sets its own adoption donation, which typically covers vaccination, sterilisation, microchip and the vet bills the dog has already run up. The exact amount is listed or explained by the rescue when you send an inquiry.

I live in Ayia Napa or Paralimni β€” can I adopt a dog fostered in Limassol?

Yes, and many adopters do. Most dogs on withBobi are fostered around Limassol, roughly a 90-minute drive from the Famagusta area. After the rescue accepts your inquiry, you arrange a visit to meet the dog before deciding.

Will there be a home check?

That depends on the rescue β€” each one runs its own process. Most will ask about your home, garden, work schedule and any other pets; some do a short home visit or a video call. It is a conversation, not an interrogation, and it protects both the dog and you.

What health care is included with the dog?

Dogs are typically vaccinated, sterilised and microchipped before adoption, with their vet bills already paid β€” that is what the adoption donation covers. Details vary by dog and rescue, so check the dog's page and confirm directly with the rescue.

Can I adopt from outside Cyprus?

Often, yes. Many of the rescues on withBobi rehome dogs to the EU and UK. Send an inquiry through the dog's page and ask β€” the rescue will explain what is possible for that particular dog and what the extra steps and costs look like.
