SPDC Rescue UK

Would encourage anyone considering adopting a puppy/dog from Cyprus through this charity to 100% go for it. I can’t fault SPDC - the whole process was easy and informative and the support and interest from SPDC continues today - we are 7 months into our adoption.

SPDC is a wonderful charity run by a team of devoted, caring and knowledgeable volunteers. They save dogs from municipal kill pounds and care for them with the upmost love until they are adopted. We adopted our dog form them and are incredibly happy we did! From the very beginning they were supportive, professional and communication was great. They keep in touch after the adoption, which is great and shows how much they care for every single dog they save. Highly recommended to anybody wishing to give an abandoned dog a loving home!

I researched SPDC thoroughly before I adopted my dog from the charity in 2016. I previously worked with the charity sector in the UK for 12 years so I was careful to ensure that SPDC was a registered charity and that all the processes and ethics were what I expected them to be. I wasn't disappointed. I have found SPDC to be the most wonderful, ethical and trustworthy rescue that places the care and love of the dogs they look after above anything else which is as it should be. The charity is so close to my heart that I've written the story of adopting my dog on their website and I recommend them to anyone thinking of rescuing a dog from Cyprus. If you are hesitating because you're not sure if they are a proper" organisation

If you're thinking about whether to adopt a dog through this charity, absolutely DO IT!They go above and beyond for the dogs they rescue. The adoption process is super easy, you get updates, videos & photos of your dog throughout.I adopted my dog from them 2 years ago and they are ALWAYS available to offer support! The online group for adopters is also fantastic.They have successfully rehomed, so many lovely dogs. Adopt don't shop!!

Saving Pound Dogs Cyprus is an amazing charity looking after and rehoming many abandoned dogs. I am lucky enough to have been able to adopt this wonderful boy. SPDC is run by a group of wonderfully compassionate and dedicated carers with the help of equally dedicated fosterers. My dog is amazingly well adjusted despite his awful start in life which is testament to just how much work and care the people of SPDC put into saving and rehoming their much deserving dogs.

We have rescued the most beautiful girl Jessie from the team at SPDC. She’s the most lovely natured dog and they were able to match her to us perfectly (we have another dog and a baby!). We reached out for a couple of the other dogs as we thought they could be a good match, but when they mentioned Jessie and all her traits, we all quickly realised she’d be the best match!Transport, documentation etc was all quick and easy to deal with, and we’re so happy to have Jessie in our family now!

A totally brilliant organisation where everyone cares so much. From the start, we had incredible support to find the right dog and continued to keep in contact ever since to make sure everything is going smoothly. We have had our dog two years and she is doing so well. Someone always replies to my questions even now! It was a very clear and supportive adoption process too. Highly recommend SPDCC!

Everything was seamless in the adoption process from my initial enquiry to my wonderful Hector Hound arriving. I was kept updated with photos and videos in the few weeks it took to fly him over to the UK. I felt as though I wasn’t missing any of him growing up (he was just a puppy and as we know they change very quickly)!There was complete honesty and transparency from the Cyprus contacts and Charlotte in the UK was simply lovely while we did the home check via FaceTime and has been very supportive ever since. You are not alone once your dog arrives - far from it, expect to be part of the SPDC family forever.Hector was so well socialised with other dogs due to the number he was with and still retains that awareness today (2 years later).The support from the team when you hit any issues is there and they warmth and love from the fellow adopters is absolutely priceless. We all love each other’s SPDC dogs (almost) as much as our own.

I had excellent communication with information and photos of the little Min Pin I was adopting. The adoption was straight forward and she arrived at Manchester Airport as arranged. She was the best little dog I ever had, all she wanted was love and she got lots of it. She was an older dog and I was happy to make her remaining time the best. She adapted to everything without fuss accepting my cats, horse and chickens without a second glance. The ladies from SPDC are like family and we are still in touch. I wouldn't hesitate to adopt a dog from Spdc again.
