John 🇨🇾

Mixed Breed · Male

❤️ HE’S WATCHED SO MANY OTHERS GO HOME ❤️ Time and again, John watches other dogs leave the shelter. They are chosen. They begin their journeys. Their happy-ever-afters finally start. And John stays behind. 😔 Now around 2½ years old , John is a stunning large-sized boy with the most wonderfully gentle nature — and somehow, he's still waiting for somebody to see just how special he is. John has a heart of pure gold . ❤️ He is calm, gentle and beautifully behaved , as well as being friendly with other dogs . He has a lovely medium energy level too — happy to head out and enjoy a good walk, but equally content simply spending time beside the people he loves. He's not asking for an extraordinary life. John would be perfectly happy with the things so many of us take for granted: a warm bed, a comfortable sofa, lovely walks, companionship and somebody he can finally call his own. Most of all, he needs to experience what he's watched happen for so many other dogs. He needs to be chosen. 🥹❤️ At 2½, John has so much life ahead of him and so much love waiting to be given. He is ready for his family. In fact, he's been ready for far too long. 📹 To view a video of John click here and here .

About John 🇨🇾

What life with John 🇨🇾 looks like

John 🇨🇾 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dali Dog Rescue UK in Dali.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 John 🇨🇾, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about John 🇨🇾?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dali Dog Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw John 🇨🇾 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt John 🇨🇾 if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dali Dog Rescue UK 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is John 🇨🇾 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 John 🇨🇾 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 Dali Dog Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know John 🇨🇾 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.
