This little boy was reported to us by a concerned visitor to Korineum Golf Resort. He was severely malnourished, suffering from a severe gastro virus and eye infection. He appears to have recovered from the nasties, but has now suffered alopecia following extended use of high dose antibiotics. He is in quarantine in the vet room at the Centre, but will be looking for a furever home once recovered fully.

This poor little boy was found in the gutter in the centre of Kyrenia, during the recent bad weather. He has a damaged leg and has been treated for a gastric virus. He is now on cage rest for a month and hopefully will regain full strength to his damaged leg. Once recovered we will be seeking a forever home for him.

We all love our happy ever afters and nothing fills our hearts with happiness more than re homing a centre dog and then getting updates.
These photos speak for themselves. Hooch flew last week to Clare and her family in the UK and think you can safely say he is one happy pooch! (pointer cross)
The we have Genie who flew in November, and is well settled with Barbara. (white poodle)
Happy lives to all our rehomed fur babies, here and abroad!!!!
Our fund raising season will be starting soon, so watch this space for the ‘Special Events’, but in the meantime we will be holding regular nights starting March 2020…… here is a taster of what will be on offer….
Today is World Spay Day 2020. We repeat over and over the need to Neuter. This year. Just this. This is the horrific result of 1 unneutered male and female cat. Please share, share and share. The same applies to dogs, so NEUTER AND SPAY! The only answer to to sadness we witness on a daily basis.
A RECENT REVIEW VIA TRIP ADVISOR!!!!
What wonderful work KAR does!!
While I was visiting my parents over Christmas vacation, I went to the Kyrenia Animal Rescue to see the shelter and walk some dogs. When I first got in, I was impressed by how organized and clean the (rather large!) kennels were and how happy the dogs seemed to be. I was quickly greeted by one of the staff (Ian) and after talking about what kind of dog I hoped to walk, not only did he get the dog for me but brought him all the way out and passed some of the kennels so it would be easy for me to take from there. When I came back, another staff member (Andrew) took the dog from me and brought him back to his kennel, which gave me a chance to look around before I went out with another one.
The staff at KAR clearly care about the dogs: the kennels are very clean, there were ample dog houses in each enclosure and the dogs were well-groomed. ( was actually told several of them had just come back from a teeth cleaning!) Staff are also keenly aware of what housing situations make for happy dogs. One of the things they were doing when I came was introducing a new dog to two dogs that were already in a kennel together to see how they would get along. Instead of just putting dogs in kennels together, the staff take time and effort to determine which dogs they will best cohabitate with, so they are all happy together. This struck me as a very important and very professional practice in an animal rescue shelter like this, so was happy to see part of the process involved in that.
I was also really happy to see the large, enclosed exercise area they had created for the dogs. This area had different benches, poles, ramps and other obstacles that the dogs had to interact with and run around. This makes for an easier option for potential adopters to play with the dogs, as well as anyone who would like to come and visit with the animals but might find it hard to go on a walk per se. Not to mention how good it is for the dogs themselves to get some much-needed play and run time!
Overall, I was really impressed with how KAR ran their centre: the staff were knowledgeqble, helpful and attentive; the kennels were clean and the houses well maintained; and the dogs looked happy and healthy. I will be back next time I visit and encourage anyone else to go who is an animal lover!
We still need ‘softies’ to keep the dogs, puppies and poorly cats dry and warm. Please declutter your homes and drop off at Veni Vici or Black Olive on the West and the Karakum Office and Kyrenia Shops on the East. The Centre are struggling to wash wet and dirty bedding as the weather is particularly chilly at the top of the mountain!!!!!
Don’t forget to register you dogs with you local beledeyesi (council) during January!!! Take your vet book it’s a minimal charge per dog.
Sad to announce that due to a shortage of volunteers, our No1 Shop in Girne is closed today (Thursday) and will be closed on a Thursday for a while. Also House and Home, Girne, will be closed tomorrow (Friday). All because a shortage of staff. Please help us keep our shops open, our dogs and cats at the centre are the casualties of the shops being closed, as every penny raised goes to their welfare….. make a difference and volunteer. email the office for details kartrnc@gmail.com or call 0533 869 4098. a few hours a week, make all the difference!!!
