Jinsy is a Yorkshire terrier cross who traveled from the Uk into the TRNC , via ROC , with us earlier this month. When we hear “Yorkshire terrier” we automatically think “small, lightweight, dainty” . But when we met Jinsy we knew we hadn’t factored in the “Cross” element !

She was small (ish) but quite compact – even stocky or sturdy you could say. But one thing she certainly got from her “Yorkie” heritage was her love of people and her super friendly nature – she was so happy when the Customs officers and TRNC vet spoke to her and checked everything prior to her TRNC entry – she was almost beaming at them and her tail wagged and wagged.

That tail wagged even more and she was positively jumping for joy when we pulled up outside her new home and she could hear Kay and Rogers voices.

It was a lovely re union.

Happy TRNC Days Jinsy (and Roger and Kay) x

Bailey & Charlie were dumped in July last year in Karaagac TRNC. They were only young puppies when Dilys and Ian (who already had their own pets) found them. They couldn’t ignore them and took them into their home with every intention of it being for just a short while until a new home could be found. Dilys put all of her efforts into trying to find homes for the 2 pups – but received no offers in the TRNC. So she turned her attentions to the UK. Happily she was successful and found them a new home with Ros (who also has rescue dogs from RoC). Dilys started their travel prep and after everything was completed, and the required time had passed, the dogs were ready to travel.

However their travel plans were disrupted due to an embargo (due to weather damage) being put on pets travelling as cargo through Istanbul. So they needed to wait. Once the embargo was lifted we (KAR Pet Travel) faced another problem – Heathrow were restricting the number of pets arriving and spaces (which need to be booked) were at an all time low. We persevered and finally it was time for the dogs to travel.

It was hard for Dilys and Ian to say “Goodbye” to the dogs but they knew that it was for the best. Since finding them the dogs have grown (quite some !) into lovely friendly happy dogs.

Well done Dilys and Ian …….. and Happy Days Bailey & Charlie xxx

We are still looking to expand our Kitty Snipping Team. Due to the ever increasing number of stray cats that need sterilizing we need to increase the number of people who assist our Vets. Previous experience would be a significant advantage but may not be necessary depending on the individual. If you can commit to volunteering 8:30 to 14:00 ish one day a week (may not every week depending on the number of new assistants) and think you could help us make a difference please contact our office by email on kartrnc@gmail.com

Look forward to welcoming you to Team KAR
