Expect an honest conversation first. When you adopt a dog in Limassol through withBobi, you deal with the person who actually knows the dog β€” their temperament, health and quirks. Most fosters will invite you to visit; many of our dogs live at places like Robert's Sanctuary just outside the city. Each rescue sets its own adoption donation, which typically covers vaccination, sterilisation, microchipping and vet bills. withBobi itself charges nothing.

You don't have to live in Limassol to adopt from here. Adopters come from Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta every week, and many rescues also rehome to the EU and UK with the paperwork handled. If you can offer a good home, distance is rarely the obstacle.

Questions people ask

How much does it cost to adopt a dog in Limassol?

withBobi itself is free. Each rescue sets its own adoption donation, which typically covers the dog's vaccination, sterilisation, microchip and vet bills β€” costs the rescue has already paid. The exact amount is explained by the rescue when you enquire about a specific dog.

How does the adoption process work?

Browse the dogs, open a profile you like, and send an inquiry through that page. The rescue or foster replies directly, usually with more photos and honest details. If it feels right, you arrange a meeting β€” most Limassol dogs can be visited where they are fostered. When both sides are happy, you agree the handover.

Will there be a home check?

Many rescues do a short home check or ask for photos of your home and garden, especially for dogs with specific needs. It is not an interrogation β€” they simply want the match to work, because a returned dog is hard on everyone. Each rescue decides its own process.

Are the dogs vaccinated and sterilised?

In almost all cases, yes. Dogs are typically rehomed vaccinated, sterilised, microchipped and vet-checked β€” that is exactly what the adoption donation covers. Ask the rescue for the dog's health record; they will tell you honestly about any ongoing conditions before you commit.

Can I adopt if I live in another city or abroad?

Yes. Most dogs are fostered around Limassol, but adopters come from all over Cyprus β€” Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta. Many rescues also rehome to the EU and UK, helping with pet passports and transport. Ask about it in your first message, as each rescue has its own policy.
