Joy was found on a local army base as a stray, so has ended up under the care of Merlin's. She's a confident dog, who loves being around people. She is super playful and energetic and loves chasing the rest of the Merlin's pack around the paddock! She walks well on a lead, and would suit an active family who can take her on nice long walks.

Sturdy plastic carrier — what most shelters require for pickup.
First-week safe space. Shelter dogs settle faster with a crate.
Legally required in most EU countries for transporting dogs.
Dog-specific pheromone diffuser. Worth it for the trip home.
Worth the upgrade — rescues often have joint issues from kennels.
Escape-proof for spooky rescues. Safer than a collar in week one.

Joy is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Merlin's Haven Dog Rescue.
An young 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.
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.
