Your participation raises funds and awareness for dogs in need.
Shelter dogs deserve more than survival. They deserve to experience life.
Across Cyprus, hundreds of dogs are waiting in shelters. Most of them get food, care and a safe place to sleep — but what they rarely get is a day out. A walk. A run. A person of their own for a few hours.
That's the gap we want to close.
Once a year, we bring people together in Limassol for a community dog walk. You meet a shelter dog, take them out, play with them, give them attention and make their day a little more special.
You don't have to adopt a dog to make a difference. Sometimes, a few hours of your time can mean the world to them. And through fundraising, awareness and community support, we help shelters across Cyprus give more dogs the care, love and opportunities they deserve.
Walk with us. Give them a day they'll remember.
Three ways to make a tail wag.
No experience needed. Just turn up, meet your dog, and give them a few hours that are all about them.
Play
Run, play, cuddle, explore — whatever makes their day special.
Support
Your participation helps raise awareness and funds for shelters and the dogs who depend on them.
You don’t have to take a dog home to change their day.
Meet the dogs we're walking for
Robert’s Dog Sanctuary
Our first walk is being organised in support of Robert's Dog Sanctuary in Limassol, a volunteer-led shelter dedicated to caring for dogs in need.
The sanctuary provides dogs with food, shelter and medical care while they wait for better futures, relying heavily on the generosity of people who believe that every dog deserves a chance.
We want to help shine a bigger light on their work — and on the wider need for support for shelter dogs throughout Cyprus.

Life at the sanctuary
Food, a bed, and a lot of waiting.
Robert's volunteers give every dog food, shelter and medical care. What the dogs don't get enough of is time outside the fence. On walk day, every one of them gets a person, a lead and a morning out.

Start with one shelter. Help the many.
Pawse for a Walk begins in Limassol, but our vision goes beyond one shelter. We want to build a community of people who care about the dogs across Cyprus who have been abandoned, rescued, or are simply waiting for someone to give them a chance.
Our long-term goal is to support dog shelters across Cyprus through fundraising, awareness, volunteering and community events. Real change starts when people come together.
One walk.One shelter.One dog at a time.
And eventually, an entire island walking for the ones who can’t.
