From Our Founder:

To me, MoonAcre is one of the most special places on Earth. Love and purpose fill every corner of this sanctuary. We care deeply about the animals here – many of whom arrived broken, frightened, or forgotten – are now as safe, healthy, and happy as we can possibly make them.

But like so many animal welfare organisations right now, MoonAcre is struggling.

Our animal feed bill alone has risen to โ‚ฌ550 every fortnight – even with the generous discounts our suppliers give us. This cost alone has become overwhelming.

MoonAcre exists to care for the animals who have nowhere else to go: the physically disabled, the elderly, and those who have been rejected everywhere else. Most of our dogs are disabled, and nearly all of them arrive through referrals from authorities, veterinarians, rescuers, or desperate individuals asking for help. They come to us because MoonAcre is often the last and only option available to them in Cyprus.

Every euro we earn as a family, and every cent donated, goes directly into keeping this sanctuary running. Despite our best efforts, we can no longer cover the rising cost of food on our own.

Can you help us meet this fortnight’s food bill?

Please help us keep MoonAcre going.

With heartfelt thanks,

Founder, MoonAcre Sanctuary

Weโ€™d love your help choosing the perfect names for them.

To cast your vote, simply make a donation via PayPal (sixteensofahounds@yahoo.com) and include your chosen name as the reference. Every donation counts as a vote – and helps support their care while they wait for their forever homes.

Caring for a Permanent Resident โ€“ Campie:


When an animal becomes a permanent resident at MoonAcre, we make a lifelong promise to them. Campie is one of those very special souls.

Campie is blind and has been living safely at MoonAcre for the past year. She also lives with diabetes, which means her care is constant, precise, and essential to keeping her comfortable and healthy.

Every single day, Campie receives two insulin injections, carefully administered at specific times after she eats. Before each injection, we gently prick her ear to test her blood glucose levels, ensuring they are within the correct range. Managing diabetes requires routine, monitoring, and experience โ€” and we are committed to getting it right for her.

Alongside the hands-on care, there are significant monthly costs:

  • โ‚ฌ144 for two bags of specialist diabetic food (she needs two bags per month)
  • โ‚ฌ110 for one box of insulin (10 vials), which lasts approximately one month

Thatโ€™s โ‚ฌ254 every month, just to meet Campieโ€™s medical and dietary needs โ€” and this doesnโ€™t include additional veterinary checks or any unexpected care.

Campie relies entirely on us โ€” and on the kindness of our supporters โ€” to keep her safe and well.

We are looking for compassionate sponsors who would like to help support Campie and contribute towards the ongoing costs of her care. Whether itโ€™s a full sponsorship or a small monthly donation, every contribution makes a difference to her life.

If you would like to sponsor Campie and be part of her journey, please get in touch.

Together, we can ensure that permanent residents like Campie receive the lifelong love and medical care they deserve.
