- the slimmer of the 2 sterilized boxer mixes from the back yard (tag 114?) jumped off something higher and has injured her left shoulder, so she doens't want to use her leg. She gets RIMADYL painkiller for 6 days + vitamin B compound and we'll see if she improves by 24th Dec.

17 Oct 2011
1 new dog today: young adult female pitbull (brought by the Municipality ofLarnaka) in the cage outside the shelter.
Tag 23, the red-brown poodle (sterilized a few months back) was adopted by a Romanian who adopted one of the smallest beige puppies last week but brought it back today as her neighbour complained about the puppy crying all night.
Reserved in cage 8, brown terrier male forE.M. who will collect it by Friday latest.
Reserved also: the Sharpei cross and the small black poodle brought in last week - see Zoe's email of yesterday. Sharpei will be sterilized Friday morning, hopefully the poodle early next week.
Vet:
- Tag 160 she doesn't need to go again, we'll continue Doxat for another week and she needs tinned food/cooked chicken to put on weight
- the Jack Russell female (blind on right eye) was rescued from Dhali compound by Maria today, she has kennel cough (Doxat for 8 days) -storage room3 instead of 1 so the puppies don't catch KC.
Kanelli, unfortunately didn't make it as far as an operation to remove a cancer tumour from her intestines discovered during the x-ray at the weekend, she died today.
We have 4 dogs going for grooming to Savvas on Friday, I have arranged for another 4 to be given a bath by a neighbour of mine and I could take another 2 to Margaret of Posh Pets on Friday morning.The actual number depends on how many volunteers we have outside Alphamega on Saturday - hopefully, I'll meet with Andry tomorrow evening for us to check where we are with Saturday.

A very busy afternoon as the medication lists have become more numerous. Maria took the pekinese for sterilizing and she was picked up and adopted by C. D. for herself.
Christine brought 3 dogs back today of the original 7 we had sent her, 2 hunters (back in the backyard with new tags) and a black-grey terrier type male in one of the new cages outside with the 2 dogs which were moved there from cage 4 some time ago. I gave him a tag too - for details see the forma paradosis of each dog.
On the plus side, Christine took tag 25, white poodle with black ears from Cage 1 (he was groomed for the Dog Fiesta day).
2 other new dogs:
- one brown loukaniko type (young, 4-5 months) which Haris of Dimos Aradippou brought,
- one very attractive smallish female (red collar with a bell) which a guy brought who said he had talked to Maria (Paphiakos) and was supposed to bring her the dog yesterday, but couldn't manage.
1 other adoption, a Gekkas female by C. P. from 1st new cage right.
A man called P.L.is coming tomorrow to adopt a young hunting dog - Toulla has spoken to him and says it's ok to give him the dog. He is the young hunting male, black with some white in the same cage as tag 18 (border collie) was.
Rocky (tag 44) is the only dog that must go to Savvas tomorrow and probably on Sunday (check with Anthi) - he is getting injections for his cough. Andreas puts him in a carrier and he was good at the vet's the last 2 days.
The hunting dog in the outside cage on his own is not touching the food of the shelter (Loulla has been giving him cooked rice mixed with tinned food only, which he does eat). Today he had bloody diarrhoea and Savvas said to give him Synolux in his food and he will try and come up to see the dog. There is a medical record for him in the file.
A number of dogs in the inside cages have ticks (Loulla sprayed quite a few today) but the rest need to be done if ticks are found on them.
By Petra Apostolou
1/9/11
3 new dogs today - all from Larnaka:
- black female labrador (could be pure)
- poodle, beige with black ears and tail end
- hunting type dog, white and beige, young
Puppy from yesterday has a broken leg and Savvas will discuss with Christos what the treatment will be.
No adoptions today but C.D. collected 4 dogs this morning which she thinks she can find new homes for:
- tag 18, border collie female
- terrier male from the outside toilet cage, white with brown ears
- "Monkey" from cage 18, black and grey, has been at the shelter from before Nov.2010
- Husky X female youngster brought in a couple of weeks ago
She will also adopt the Pekinese (for herself) and wants to pick up Julie at some stage.
Rocky (tag 44) is coughing again, was taken to the vet and will need injections for a few days.
Tag 198, the small tiger-coloured sterilized female from cage 3 has trixophagou and will need Tactic every 2 days + creams.
Beige poodle from cage 3 has a hotspot on his head needing spray and cream.
By Petra Apostolou
30/8/11
Wet and muddy afternoon at the shelter with Andreas, Loulla, a new volunteer, Yianna Stavrou (who adopted a puppy from the shelter recently) and me.
Tag 172, the poodle, was sterilized this morning and had the lumps removed from her breasts. She is back at the shelter and seems ok. Because of the rain, we placed her in a cage in apothiki 3 and 2 other dogs that were outside each in a cage in apothiki 1.
No new dog today.
1 adoption by a family from Livadia.
Tomorrow, someone is coming to adopt a dog they picked out some 3 weeks ago.
By Petra Apostolou
29/8/11
1 adoption (puppy tag 50), told the adopter that dog was coughing and had Doxat from 24-29/8 and to tell the vet about it
2 new dogs - Dimos Larnaka
Medication given
1 dog (which was moved from the apothikes to a cage over the weekend) has obviously been bitten on his leg, Maria will take him to Savvas tomorrow morning when she takes the poodle (tag 172) for sterilizing and op. to remove lumps from her breasts.
By Petra Apostolou
25/8/11
Apart from Andreas, Loula and myself, 4 volunteers at the shelter today: Dimitris and Candy from England walked a number of dogs for a couple of hours, they're returning to England at the weekend, unfortunately. Christina and Helen Mina (Anna's sisters) also came to help walk more dogs and spending time with some of the difficult ones like lambis, Mangas etc.
Maria took dogs to vet this morning.
E. I. arranged for the very dirty female poodle (grey-white, matted coat) to be groomed and vaccinated at Marilena (vet) this morning.
No new dogs today, 1 adoption (tag 185) from toilet cage and the labrador male adopted yesterday picked up by new owner.
Loulla found 3 dogs in various inside cages with bald patches on them, they'll have to be taken to Savvas to see if it's trychophagou.
Lupos, the red braque (under palm tree) next to Doberman lady, will not take his Synolux tablets even with food, any ideas what to do here?
By Petra Apostolou
24/8/11
Nayia, Christos, Antreas, Yianna, Candy and me at the shelter today.
VET: Nayia took 2 puppies from apothiki 1 who had cough. Both need 1/2 doxat per day. (new medical records for both)
1 ADOPTION: G. C. came, filled in the form and paid 40 euros (adoption and donation) for the beige labrador in the outside cage. He took the dog fora walk and will come tomorrow afternoon to get him as he needs to finish his fence before he takes the dog home.
A couple, Marios and Katerina are interestedin the other labrador (female in first new cage) but aren't sure yet.
I will be taking the poodle mum in apothiki 1 for grooming on Friday at a pet shop in Athienou.

Andreas, Loula, Maria and myself this afternoon - Maria took the red braque (1 st house outside right, next to palm tree) to Savvas as he has some patches with missing fur on his back - doesn't seem to be tryxophagou but medication sheet for creams. He has tag 34 now.
Husky lady (Daisy) had stitches removed, therapy for Erlixia finished though she will get Vitamin B for 10 more days. Andreas wants to adopt her!

Medical attention:
1) As we enter shelter on the left there is a brown/caramel colour dog. There is a red blood mark under her ear.

3) Evita is eating
NO departures and NO new arrivals.
Visitors:
1) The English Cypriot man (Andrea) came to take the outside Labrador for a walk. He still wants her/him but needs a couple of days. He brought his daughter with him who is on holiday and she will be helping at the shelter week days from 4 - 6. It's only for a week.
2) A mother and child came to look at dogs

This morning, I took 6 puppies to Savvas for injections -As we were going back home, Anna told me that her sister Christina (who took Angalitsas for a walk) mentioned that he has some wounds. Could you pls check him over the weekend to see whether he needs to see the vet.
We need OPTICLOX from Savvas tomorrow for Giagia (setter) and any other dog with red eyes from the dust.
'Foxy' was adopted by Aradippou Deputy Mayor today ( !) and one of the pointer puppies was adopted by a family from Aradippou. The Pekinese is reserved for someone who is coming on 23rd. Christos said he'll try to arrange for her to go to the adopter's vet for sterilization before 23rd.
Anna Mina, volunteer who adopted a dog, has taken a lot of photos of dogs this last week and she wants to make an album on our facebook profile. She's travelling back to Denmark with her dog on Monday and was at the shelter for the last time today taking more photos.

17-18 August 2011
No adoptions yesterday or today.3 new dogs yesterday:
- 1 puppy pushed into the outside cage with the labrador. Puppy was adopted by the guy who was going to pick up a puppy adopted Monday

16 August 2011
Good afternoon in that we had 5 ADOPTIONS (4 people took the dog they chose with them, the 5th will pick it up about 2.30pm tomorrow from Andreas- got the form signed today).
1 new dog - labrador male, beige, no microchip brought by Konstantinos A., Kalochorio. I took the dog in and asked him to contact Kalochorio Kinotarxis when latter is back from holidays.
Medication list is getting longer & longer...finally gave them all their medication by 7.30pm.
Vet:
- tag 1 who had her tail amputated last week has bitten off the stitches, she had the wound sewn up again and now wears a collar, hopefully the stitches will stay in for a bit longer. This dog is also incontinent (which explains why her backside is always wet), Savvas says it's possible that when she was sterilized (before she came to the shelter) a nerve was damaged and that's why she is incontinent now.
- brown hunter puppy with a small wound between its eyes which is infected: injection today and needs to go tomorrow and Thursday, as well as Bactroban on the wound.
Evita is eating the special diet tinned and dried food but we took her some chicken and rice which she ate too.

Hot windy afternoon but the water is back, so things can only get better...!4 new dogs today:
- a black spitz type male, outside 2nd house left, no chip (don't know where he came from yet)
- a white poodle/terrier male, youngish, red cat collar, no chip (Dimos Larnaka)
- a 2 month old black puppy found by the side of road by Pambos
- a white and brown puppy with a bruised front right leg found by Charalambia today, taken to Savvas and brought to the shelter by Maria tonight
No adoptions today
Christos and Maria gave 8 of the outside dogs ampoules against ticks and we'll do the remaining 7 in outside houses tomorrow.
Silvia also came up and moved some of the dogs from apothiki 3 (Billy and Co.) to the cages inside.
Vet:
- the poodle mum (tag 172), brought yesterday with 3 puppies, because she has lumps on her teats - she will need surgery but only after her diarrhoea is gone. She does not have Parvo but needs injections for a few days. We separated her from the puppies so they don't catch it.
I did a head count of all the dogsas at today including the new ones and found their number to be184.

No running water yet at the shelter, Maria brought water in the morning and Andreas went twice in the afternoon. Probably, we need to bring water in a tanker tomorrow and use the large water tank next to the generator until the water is back.
Maria took 1 dog (tag 23) for sterilization, she is back this afternoon, as well as:
- Achilleas (has a hot spot as well as possibly trixphagou)
- the skinny hunter (tag 181), he has tick fever (Doxat for 28 days)
- border collie (tag 18), she has finished her injections against pneumonia but needs Doxat for 10 days more
I took the old hunting dog lady (tag 141) who has some lumps on her body (due to her advanced age) and a lump under her chin - she must have Felexin 2xdaily for another 10 days.
New dogs:
- Poodle mum with 3 puppies (Dimos Larnaka), Christos sent us a photo. All 4 were given a bath this afternoon (all have fleas) and mum probably has mastitis (she has some lumpy teats) and should go tomorrow to the vet as well as one of the puppies which seemed to be breathing with difficulty today.
- a terrier, beige, with short legs, no microchip found but we'll check again tomorrow.
2 adoptions by/via Panayiotis the female German Shepherd mix and a border collie (black + white) for a friend of his.
Medication records are numerous but Roy is managing to give them all their medication on most days.

Hot, hot, hot....!
Roy with Andreas, Petra with a new volunteer (Anna Mina) who is going to adopt a dog (on reserved list) but cannot pick him up until the end of July.
We nearly had an incident because Anna took a dog for a walk and she walked downhill towards a farm where a huge German Shepherd was on the loose and nearly attacked the shelter dog and Anna. She was very sensible about it as she tied the dog up and walked the German Shepherd back to the farm where she shouted at the owner to tie him up. It means when people come to walk dogs, we must tell them to walk uphill (to the right of the shelter) and not down the loose surface road.
Christos P. adopted a hunting dog puppy.
No new dogs.
Anna and I took 3 dogs to the vet - tag 19, cage 15 who has otitis), injections finished, she only needs Dexoryl drops in her ears now.
- tag 18 from outside new cage, a border collie, has pneumonia and needs to go for another injection tomorrow.
- Tag 1, a beige poodle from cage 2, has an infected bottom and a cut tail. She was given a bath with iodine and water and must go to Savvas tomorrow pls.
