Toby

Pointer · Male

Toby has been under our care at the Sanctuary for over 4 years and is one of our longest residents. This lovely boy is ready to find his forever family. He is a gorgeous, long legged, elegant dog. It’s likely that he was abandoned by a hunter but fortunately for him and us, he’s been living his best life at the Sanctuary. Toby loves to play with the twins, Otto and Vito. With careful introductions, we believe he can live in a home with a friendly dog, especially if they don’t mind an ear nibble or two. During his time at the Sanctuary, he has learned to switch off and relax, which is something he used to struggle to do, so will need a home to help with this. Toby will need an active home and owners who are prepared to play and stimulate him. He likes to chase after a ball and would love scent work. Toby is a super friendly boy and makes sure to greet all visitors. Once he’s said hello, he’s then off to do his own thing and will come back to you now and again, to check in.

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a medium-sized adult pointer 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 Toby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Toby?: 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 Toby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Toby 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Toby 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 Toby 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 Toby 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.
