Adopt a Dog in Paphos

Want to adopt a dog in Paphos? withBobi is Cyprus's animal-rescue platform β€” not a shelter. We connect people in Paphos with independent rescues and fosters across the island.

No forms disappearing into a void, no middleman, and withBobi charges nothing.

One honest note: most of our dogs are currently fostered in and around Limassol, about an hour's drive from Paphos. Adopters come from every corner of Cyprus, and rescues are used to it β€” they'll help you plan a visit or a meet-up. When you adopt, the rescue's donation typically covers vaccination, sterilisation, microchip and vet bills, so your dog arrives healthy and ready for home.

Why adopt through withBobi

withBobi is a platform, not a shelter β€” which means no gatekeeping and no platform fees. You talk directly to the rescue or foster who knows the dog best, and every cent of the adoption donation goes to the animals' care. We also run Cyprus's live SOS map: anyone can report an injured or stray animal in about 30 seconds, and volunteers respond. Adopting through withBobi supports that whole network.

Questions people ask

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

withBobi charges nothing. Each rescue sets its own adoption donation, which typically covers vaccination, sterilisation, microchip and vet bills. Ask the rescue for the exact amount when you inquire β€” it's stated openly, and it's almost always less than paying for those vet treatments yourself.

Are the dogs actually in Paphos?

Honestly, most are not. The majority are fostered in and around Limassol, roughly an hour's drive away. Rescues regularly adopt to families in Paphos and will help you arrange a meet. Each dog's profile tells you exactly where the dog is staying.

How does the adoption process work?

Browse the dogs on withBobi, open a profile and send an inquiry through the dog's page. The rescue or foster replies directly β€” usually with more photos, the dog's background and honest notes on temperament. You arrange a meet, and if it's a match, you agree on the handover details together.

Will there be a home check?

That's up to each rescue. Expect honest questions about your home, garden, work hours and experience with dogs. Some rescues ask for a short home visit or a video call. It isn't a test to fail β€” it's how they make sure the match lasts.

Can I adopt if I live outside Paphos, or abroad?

Yes. Adopters come from all over Cyprus β€” Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta β€” and many rescues also rehome internationally to the EU and UK. Transport arrangements and costs vary by rescue, so mention where you live in your first message.
