Please take time to visit the Nowzad Dogs website and learn more about the work of a few dedicated volunteers. The Afghan rescue centre they work closely with is always desperate for basic items such as collars, leads and worming tablets. If you can send a small package out it would be gratefully received. The address to send such items to is Nowzad Dogs, PO Box 3495, Corsham, SN13 7AE.

We are holding a fabulous evening of entertainment at the Sunshine Taverna on Friday 19th March. All money raised will go to BARC & The Alfie Fund. You can buy your ticket in the Episkopi HIVE, BARC or from Brian on 99117439. On the night we are holding a raffle, which will have many wonderful prizes. See you there!

Many paws make light work...

A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that gave up their Saturday for a BARC spring clean. Everyone worked really hard and were all rewarded for their efforts with a delicious curry afterwards. We managed to get a lot done in short space of time thanks to everyone's hard work. Pictured here is Clare...taking time out to cuddle Trio, one of the many cats waiting for a loving home.

BARC @ The HIVE

Starting on Thursay 4th March BARC Export will be in the HIVE to give advice on exporting your pet, the pet passport scheme and you can also start up a savings scheme for you pet.

Don't worry if you can't make it as BARC will be visiting the HIVE on the first Thursday of every month between 10 and 11am.

The Episkopi HIVE is located on Dodge City.

Hope to see you there!

Happily ever after...

Look at these two...like peas in a pod! Bella the Beagle has recently been rehomed to Clare and Jim in Episkopi. They already had a dog they rehomed from Canada and brought with them called Macy. Even though they differ in sizes they play beautifully together and have become inseperable. Long may they be happy!!!

Happy Tail!

Everyone loves a happy ending and Derek who has recently been rehomed from BARC has found his! His new owners saw him on our website before they had even arrived in Cyprus and fell in love with him. When they arrived they came to visit Derek a number of times and brought their existing dog, Ben with them. We're happy to say Derek is loving his new life with his adopted brother Ben and they are getting along extremely well.

If you have rehomed a dog from BARC we always love to see photos of them and an update as to how they are doing.

Kingsman Roary Gets His Pet Passport!!!

2 LANCS'S very own Roary the Lion has been given the pampered pet treatment and now has a Pet Passport!

The 2LANCS welfare office wanted to make sure that Roary is ready to leave when the battalion return to the UK in 2011…one less thing to worry about when the time comes to say goodbye to Cyprus.

BARC recommends that all pet owners start the pet passport process in good time to avoid any unnecessary separation from their four-legged friends. To help you save towards taking your pet back with you to the UK (or wherever you get posted!) there is a savings scheme that you can pay into at BARC.

Your vet will be able to assist you with obtaining a pet passport and will advise you of the steps to take. You can call BARC Export on 2596 3934 for further information on exporting your pet. BARC Export run a weekly Clinic where you can obtain an estimate so you know what to aim for.

BARC Export is open Monday to Friday 9.00-13.00
The clinic runs every Tuesday from 13.00-16.00 (by appointment only)
