Nicosia Municipality launches adoption campaign for shelter dogs

On October 4, 2026, marking World Animal Day, the Nicosia Municipality launched an adoption campaign for 35 dogs currently residing in a temporary municipal shelter. The initiative aims to secure permanent homes for these animals and emphasizes the importance of animal welfare and societal responsibility.

The dogs available for adoption are fully vaccinated, neutered, and equipped with microchips and health booklets, ensuring they are ready for immediate placement. Interested individuals are invited to contact the shelter manager, SIMBA ANIMAL AID LTD, at 99 657631 to inquire about the adoption process. Nicosia Deputy Mayor Chrysanthos Fakas highlighted the municipality's commitment, stating that the care and protection of animals is a collective responsibility for all citizens.

This campaign serves as part of a broader municipal effort to raise awareness regarding animal protection and living standards. The shelter remains open for prospective adopters to coordinate with the facility management to arrange meetings with the animals. There are no additional legal or administrative hurdles reported, as the municipality is actively facilitating the transition of these 35 dogs to new families.
