Adopt Casper

Male

Casper is a beautiful dog with a statuesque build and a gorgeous shiny black coat. But he was brought to us in a very different condition…. At the beginning of April some adopters were on their way to the sanctuary to pick up their dog when they came across a skeletal dog not too far from the sanctuary. He was friendly and they were able to put him in the car and bring him to us. We were all shocked at just how thin poor Casper was! You could see every bone in his poor body and he had wounds on his knees indicating that he had been kept in a concrete cage and starved. And yet… he was wagging! This sweet boy was as loving and friendly on that first day as he is today. He’s now playful and obviously more energetic, but he’s still always up for a cuddle! Casper is probably a pointer cross, perhaps with some Segugio in the mix. He’s a hunting dog and as such will probably not be suitable to a home with cats or small animals. He does like other dogs though, and even goes out with one of our adult males who isn’t always keen on other males. Casper could definitely join a home with other resident dogs. Casper is friendly to everyone that he meets. Despite his terrible start in life, this boys happy personality has not been affected and he’s just joyful and sweet!

About Casper

What life with Casper looks like

Casper is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPDC Cyprus in Limassol.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇾Adopting from Cyprus

Cypriot rescues focus heavily on cross-border placements (the island has more strays than local adopters). Animals are fully vetted before flying. The adopter pays the transport, while the shelter coordinates vaccinations, chipping, and the passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Casper, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Casper?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPDC Cyprus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Casper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Casper if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPDC Cyprus will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Casper already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Casper isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPDC Cyprus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Casper and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
