We were delighted to welcome Emily from Love Paws Cy, who brought along her fantastic team of pet sitters to volunteer with us at MoonAcre Sanctuary.

The group spent the day getting involved across the sanctuary and made a huge difference to both our animals and our team. They walked a large number of our dogs, including some of our disabled dogs, ensuring they enjoyed exercise, enrichment and plenty of attention.
Their kindness and hard work extended throughout the sanctuary. The team helped make hay for the horses, spent time giving our equine residents well-deserved cuddles and affection, treated our pigs to some tasty snacks, and enjoyed some quieter moments with the cats in the cattery.
Volunteer support plays such an important role in helping us provide the highest standard of care to the animals at MoonAcre, and days like this remind us how fortunate we are to have such compassionate people supporting our mission.

A heartfelt thank you to Emily and everyone from Love Paws Cy for giving their time, energy and kindness to our animals. We are incredibly grateful and hope to welcome you all back again soon.

Sirius was first found a couple of months ago after being hit by a car in the area of Agios Therapontas Village. He was discovered injured in the middle of the road and taken in by a man who moved him to a warehouse in Limassol.

Sirius had sustained serious injuries to his leg. A friend later visited the area and, seeing his condition, raised concern. It was explained that veterinary treatment was urgently needed but could not be afforded. A small group then came together to help, funding his surgery and supporting his care. This ultimately led to the amputation that saved his life.

Despite this, Sirius’s situation changed again when the warehouse owner no longer wanted him there. He was taken back to the area where he was originally found and left alone.

Sirius is now safe in the care of MoonAcre Sanctuary, where he has been given his name (affectionately known as Sirius Black ).

He is a friendly giant with a gentle nature, showing trust and affection towards people despite everything he has endured.

Adoption Status:

Sirius is now being prepared for adoption and will soon be looking for a forever home.

He will need a family who can offer stability, patience, and the reassurance that he will never again be left behind.

Sushi came into our care after we responded to a report of a dog left at a football club for two nights. She had a collar and tag, but the contact number was invalid, and she had clearly been left to fend for herself.

We couldn’t leave her there, so we brought her to safety…

After some investigation, we discovered that Sushi had been seen running loose across multiple areas, including Dhekelia, Pyla and Livadia. Although she is microchipped, her registered owner has confirmed that he cannot care for her. She had been left in someone else’s care, where she was kept on a chain but repeatedly escaped – with no one attempting to recover her.

When Sushi arrived, she was covered in fleas and ticks and was understandably exhausted. She has since been treated, fed, and given a safe, warm place to rest.

Despite everything she has been through, Sushi has shown herself to be a gentle and trusting dog. She is approximately 2 and a half years old, spayed, microchipped, and responds to English.

Sushi is now safe and ready to start the next chapter of her life in a loving, permanent home.

As a small sanctuary, we do not have the capacity to care for her long-term, so finding the right home for Sushi is a priority.

If you feel you could offer Sushi – or any of our animals – a safe and loving forever home, please complete our adoption application form.

We are absolutely delighted to share that beautiful Ophelia has found her forever home 💛

In the most perfect twist, she has been adopted by Ghost’s wonderful adopter – meaning this lookalike pair will not only stay together, but begin an incredible new chapter side by side.

Ophelia will be travelling to the UK in May, where she and Ghost will start their new life together, exploring, settling into home comforts, and enjoying all the love they truly deserve.

From running scared and alone through the villages to finding safety, friendship, and now a forever home… Ophelia’s journey is one we won’t forget.

Thank you to everyone who supported her along the way 🐾

Ophelia was first spotted running alone through the villages. For weeks, she survived on her own until we finally managed to bring her to safety. Covered in fleas and clearly exhausted, she was wary at first, but quickly showed her gentle, trusting nature.

Sadly, she wasn’t microchipped and no one came forward to claim her. After the required two-week holding period, Ophelia is now officially part of the MoonAcre family.

Since arriving, she has settled in beautifully. She is incredibly sweet, calm, and affectionate, and appears to be house trained – a sign she may once have known a home. Many have noticed how much she looks like Ghost… they really could be twins!

Ophelia is now preparing for adoption. She will be fully ready for her forever home, including neutering, vaccinations, and full blood screening.

If you think you could offer Ophelia the loving home she deserves, please get in touch.
