Guzelyali Beach abandoned Rottweiller - Now Found a New Home

[Mozgor]

Hi

This beautiful dog was left chained up on Guzelyali Beach today!! Was there at 7am and still there pm? The Belidiye and KAR have been informed, but maybe you know this pooch?

I fed and watered a Rottweiller last Monday on the Kayalar road, I'm pretty sure it's the same one!

What a nasty horrible thing to do to that poor dog, has anyone given it water & food?

[Marions]

nOT SO NASTY RELALY - MORE OF WHAT SOMEONE THOUGHT WAS A CLEVER MOVE. yoU CNANOT IGNORE THE DOG, AND RATHER THAN LET IT LOSE IN THE STREET, I GUESS THE PEROSN WHO LEFT IT THERE THOUGHT IT STOOD A BETTER CHANCE OF BEING GIVEN A HOME.

Actually that is how we got our dog. As a two month old puppy it was dumped on Lapta beach - and it worked.

I believe it has been given water etc, but this is now evening and nothing of an update. The Belediye wa s informed and KAR (it is outside KAR's jurisdiction by the latest law) but do not know what has happened I think there is fear that the animal will merely be destroyed, even though the law says that an owner should be searched for. In this instance, the owner doe snot want to be found, and chances are the dog is NOT micro chipped, or the owner would be traceable.

Please can someone give an update.

What a pathetic environment where poor innocent dogs are left/abandoned.
This island is awful in the way animals are treated and no Government policy is in place to deal with a proactive way in which to deal with now and in the future.

[Marions]

Oh dear. I cannot retrieve it. If it happens again, if you click the back button at the top left hand corner , you may wlel find that it is still ther.e Try it now. You never know.

So sorry you hav elost it. Do so hope it can be retrieved, or if not, please re-write.

[spider]

Sorry Marion it was way too long ,,, But will try give a small posting,,

Someone I guess left this dog tied up thinking someone will help it,,, oh yes what will happen now,,,,, well they scan for a micro chip ? Oh yes take it to Petcross the only place where they can scan, or will they take it to KAR,,, NO, as you said it is outside their area, ! They do not put tag dogs in this area anymore because they vanish ! Where do they all vanish to ? They do not take them all the way to the compound in Famugusta that's for sure,,,, and oh yes there are only pups over there ! So it there a compound Nr you, ? Or very Nr to you ? Keep looking folk,,,

But where oh where will your pet go if it gets out as so many often do,,,and what use is this new chip,,,,unless you are going to take them back to the UK,,it seems not a lot of use at all,,, would you agree ? I will be going to talk with someone this week a out where they might be going and about where a compound is or is going to be,,,,And to ask what they are doing with these dogs,,,,

I hope we hear some good news soon about this lovely boy posted here, And a big thank you to all who have given me HOPE and encouagement this week! also not forgetting your kind donations either,

Spider, X

Update

With the new rules about KAR's lack of involvement outside Kyrenia, this poor dogs fate is sealed. Lapta Belidiye are collecting the dog Monday at the earliest to do, goodness knows what with it?

In the meantime, it's been moved off the beach across the road, still tied up. I am led to believe that it is being fed and watered.

I'm now beginning to understand why people choose to leave if they're an animal lover. It's so hard to see this happening day after day!

Although, if everyone got together and made a commitment to work together to make a difference, these animals would only benefit.

Mozgor thanks for the update we can only hope & pray it does not suffer
Marions I would agree with your comments re putting a dog on a beach where someone will see it & hopefully take it home but not a breed like this. Many people, myself included would be very nervous of approaching a Rottweiler let alone trying to put it in a car.
I think we can only carry on supporting KAR where we can as they are doing the very best they can under extremely difficult & harrowing circumstances.

[DieHard]

We have been told that if Petcross microchip your dog it cannot be read by any other vet - good system!!!
Talking of cruelty a small cat was thrown 200 feet from a top storey flat in the UK the other day, unfortunately it happens everywhere.

[ozankoys]

Well what good is that then it just sounds too far fetched even for here. We will be in Petcross next week so will check that out & report back.

[Mozgor]

Some more pics. This is not the dog I fed on Monday cos this one is much healthier.

Moyra

Diehard - the microchips inserted at PetCross are very often the International ones (more expensive than the local ones) and they can be read by any International Microchip reader - KAR has such readers as do some of the other vets.
The International chip details are put onto a form which is then given to KAR - the details are then registered, by KAR, onto an international data base (which has been used to reunite lost pets and owners). Owners who change address need to notify KAR so that the database is updated with their new details.
This only happens with the International chip - the local ones are only registered on a TRNC database.

[Marions]

Thanks If Only. That is probably why we have these differing prices. My dog was microchipped years ago with the international one, as we thought we might be travelling. So we now have a cheaper local one? To what end, I wonder. Why on earth are not all dogs issued with an international one? I am real confused here.

Also someone has queried the cost of these microchipping processes. Can someone who knows say just how much it is - and IS there a difference between local and international, and more importantly does one have a choice when r4egistering a new dog?

By the way, I quite understand that rottweillers instill terror into some people. They do in me ever since an experience years ago with a tiny Yorkie that I owned and the rottweiller which belonged to a friend I VISITED. oUCH! tERROR! dISMAY! So I am very wary of them. And dobermen as well.

But the poor thing being dumped. Why, why why do people do this. At least if it was on the roam it might forage for food, but to tie it up hoping someone will rescue it, is maybe more cruel still.

[Mozgor]

Wonderful news, one of our Karsiyaka Turtle Watch volunteers and her husband have adopted this beautiful boy!!

After two medicated baths and 100 ticks later, not a squeak from him. Obviously loving the attention.

Just love happy endings.

Moyra

[ozankoys]

That is such fantastic news I have been thinking about him constantly so it is so great to have a happy ending!! Well done those people may you all have a wonderful time together.

[puppylover]

The couple who have taken this beautiful boy are friends of mine, who live close by.

So happy for them and this dog, as I know he is going to be well looked after

[Marions]

I DO so love a happy ending - don't you?

It does seem that dumping dogs on beaches does work. As I said before, my beloved Dudu was dumped on Lapta beach at 2 months old. She was rescued and was destined to be part of our lives, and here is another one. As they say, 'God is good - sometimes!'

Wonderful news.

[wedinnorthcyprus]

I am so so pleased to read that this dog has found a new home where is he going to be looked after and treated well. Rottweillers can be scarey dogs mainly because of their size but treated well and they will love you forever.

[Owl Lady]

Just posted but it's vanished!!! Good news for this poor dog I am so glad. I have been led to believe the Pertev also has equipment to read microchips

[Ragged Robin]

There seems to be a lot of confusion about microchips. Could someone from KAR please set the record straight.

Ten years ago Pertev micropchipped my dogs: it was a special offer at KAR dog show and I was lead to understand that KAR kept a register of all dogs so micropchipped. At least two other Vets have later been able to "read" the chips.

Later I was told that KAR did not have such a record.

FRom above it sounds as if they do? Can anyone confirm that please. Will my dogs still be recorded? Earlier this year I had a younger dog chipped in accordance with the new Regulations. Will she be on KAR's list. If not can I email details to them and have her added, - as the youngest, smallest and liveliest with tendency to slip her collar she is the most likely to stray and get lost.

[bigbadbob]

Brilliant news, so happy. Best wishes to the dog's new family, bless them. They have rescued him from a horrific fate if he was being picked up tomorrow. Cheers

[ozankoys]

The new chip & registration legislation has been brought in by the Government so I would not expect KAR to have records this would be outside the scope of their remit & a waste of their overstretched resources.
We just need to clear up the confusion as to whether the chips & readers are standard so that we know that any reader can read any chip.
As to the Belediyesi actually checking to see if any dogs picked up have been chipped well I very much doubt they will bother that is why it is important to find out what is happening to them to try to prevent someone's much loved pet going the same way as the others.

[JoandJelly]

The couple who have taken this beautiful boy are friends of mine, who live close by.

So happy for them and this dog, as I know he is going to be well looked after

Fantastic news. Don and Karen I presume which is just lovely. He will be one very lucky dog

[frontalman]

Good on them, lucky doggy!

[Denise13]

so so glad this has a happy ending. there is so much sadness with animals here it is wonderful to hear some good news. may his previous owners rot in hell for leaving him. blessings to the new owners may he bring you years of joy as mine always do.

[Ragged Robin]

Ozankoys: With all due respect, is that KAR's offical reply re microchips? Because (a) they promoted a scheme, albeit l0 years ago on the basis they kept records and (b) by taking strays off the street and neutering and otherwise caring for them I am saving a lot of resources for KAR. And )c) surely if saves resources if by checking a lost dog's chips (however an wherever done) they can identify a caring owner who wants is back, rather than having yet another homeless dog on their hands?

[Lor51]

Well done for helping this dog.

Ragged Robin, why don't you just call Kar for your answers, you might get the right ones.

[ozankoys]

For the record I have no connection to KAR but it is the Government who are keeping the owners' details it is just important that those who find stray dogs are able to access them.
Presumably more than 90% of chipped dogs will never go missing so it would be pointless for KAR to waste time & money keeping records of them IMHO.

[Mozgor]

Zac in his new home x

[Ragged Robin]

OK Ozankoys, it seems to me a matter of general interest and there seem to be several posters here representing KAR, but I can of course contact them direct. I just wonder why there is so much aggro aimed at responsible dog owners. There are circumstances where even the most caring owner can lose a dog (illness for instance) and it seems to me that anything that helps KAR reunite lost animals with their owners is in everyone's interests, including KAR's, even if it is only l0% of chipped dogs go missing, which I seriously doubt, surely in this sad worth even one lost dog returned to a loving owner is surely worth the trouble of putting a name and address on a list (of of course there is such a list)

[Denise13]

Ragged Robin as far as i know KAR operated the international microchip before the governments scheme was ever in place and have records for this. however the scheme in place for the government is not international only within the TRNC so should anyone want to take their dogs out the country at any time then the chipping under the scheme is of no use so it should be an international one you should get where it will be registered with KAR and the government. the database for the general chipping under the government scheme is the responsibility of the government for which i understand KAR doesn't have access. perhaps someone knows different? i will try to find out when i am in the shop tomorrow and confirm or add to this.

[ifonly]

KAR do not keep the actual database for the International chips - they update the info to the providers of that International database for the dogs (and cats) who have had the chips fitted - i think it is the Pet Track database. KAR has access to that database search option for any pets that are lost or found.This is the usual way of keeping the database up to date - info being provided to the central inputers from all areas across the world - where those chips have been supplied and fitted. As you can appreciate it is an International database so is being updated with information from everywhere all of the time .

KAR DO however also keep a log (pet name, owners name, description, address, tel no etc) of the chips implanted when they pass them onto the International data inputers - so Yes they do have their own records but as with anything it is only as good as the info provided to them - by owners (change of address/detail) and vets at initial implant. That info is also passed - by the implanting vet - to the TRNC registration system so complying with the TRNC registration regulations.

The local chips (which are cheaper) are NOT registered on any International database.

[ozankoys]

Mozgor thanks for posting photo of Zac - that is one happy very lucky doggy!

[Ragged Robin]

Thanks DEniz and If only for your helpful replies. So basically the dog chipped l0 years ago will recorded via KAR's(I havent changed address) but the one recently chipped is only on the Government data base and no one knows how to access that. Seems to me it would be a good idea to have a voluntary data base of dogs chipped locally .

Look forward to further info from you Deniz.

For the record, the main reason I am still here is that I have nowhere to take the dogs in the UK and couldnt afford it anyway My dogs are kept in a fenced garden and have identity tags as well as official ones, but collars can come off or be removed and there are circumstances in which even a well behaved dog can evade a careful owner and got lost or into trouble. particularly if they are ex street dogs which look like a recognised attracive breed in their recent ancestry.
