Adopt don’t Shop

In December 2023, we were contacted via email and asked if we would help to ‘sell a mum and tiny pup’.

The owner was returning home and needed to offload her dog as a matter of urgency.

We, of course refused to purchase the dogs, but spent days trying to convince the owner to surrender the dogs for a better and safe life, away from potential breeders here in the TRNC.

Finally with a leaving date looming she did surrender the young mum (less than a year old) and her 8 week old pup (male).

The pekingese mother and her peke/pug cross baby, had to be rehomed as soon as possible as shelter life for a small house dog is completely unacceptable.

A home was found for both almost immediately.

Here is an update from the puppies new family.

‘Our house as come alive with this little chappy our animals are wondering who is this little crazy ball of fluff. Settled in well and becoming a well mannered pup‘

thank you to both adopters

The tragic side of illegal breeding was avoided here, but please, think about the origin of that ball of fluff you just bought in a TRNC pet shop.
