WHERE IS PAWS SHELTER?...

From Paphos on the A6 Motorway
Leave the motorway (3rd junction) sign-posted Paphos Airport, Ayia Varvara and Acheleia. Turn right at the end of the slip road. Upon reaching the old Limassol (B6) turn left and then immediately right (at the tall fir trees). After approximately 100 metres, you will see the PAWS DOG SHELTER sign. Pass through the large metal gates and follow the road for about 1 kilometer until you come to the shelter itself.

From Yeroskipou
Take the old Limassol road out of Yeroskipou until you come to the motorway sign on the left for Ayia Varvara etc. Just immediately after that sign on the right are some tall trees. Turn right here and you will see the PAWS DOG SHELTER pign pointing to the left. Having turned left, pass through the large green metal gates and follow the road for about 1 kilometer until you arrive at the shelter.

With the safety, welfare and health of dogs in the shelter being paramount, it is our policy to house new dogs in an individual pen for approximately 10 to 14 days. This allows our Kennel Consultants to ensure that the dog is not suffering from any contagious disease and to assess their general well-being and temperament before moving them to a section containing other dogs. If you find a stray or abandoned dog, in the first instance, please telephone 99683775 before bringing the dog to the shelter. This will allow us to check if we have a suitable single pen available to take the dog on that day and it may also save you a wasted journey. In the event that the shelter is full, we will ask you to keep the dog and phone back in a couple of days time when we may be in a better position to accommodate the dog.

It is unfortunate that the number of abandoned and stray dogs continues to be on the increase in the Paphos area and there are times when, regrettably, the PAWS Dog Shelter is filled to capacity.
