We would love to be able to bring into our shelter and care for, all the abandoned dogs and cats in the TRNC.
This is simply NOT possible because:
1. All animals coming into to the shelter, MUST come through our Quarantine area. This is to ensure we do not place our existing animals at risk from highly contagious and life threatening diseases.
2. Our Quarantine area can only house a set amount of dogs.
3. If we do not home our current animals there is no room for those leaving the quarantine area to go to.
4. Then there is the cost. We solely rely on donations and fundraising through various events and our charity shops. We do not receive any grants or government incentives. To house a dog or cat makes a financial strain on our limited budget and resources.
The reason why we started a quarantine area was because a few years ago we had a massive problem with Distemper (a fast spreading disease) which decimated a lot of the dogs at the centre and took a huge amount of medicines and resources to contain the disease.
We will of course offer any advice, assistance and referrals to other charities and people who help animals that we can, to anyone contacting us. This is due to us being committed to the welfare of TRNC dogs and cats.
Hope this explains the situation please contact us if you have any queries or suggestions regarding this post we would be happy to hear from you.
