Milas is 1 year old and has been at the shelter since he was found in the middle of the road all by himself when he was just a baby. He has a very long nose which gives him a cartoon-like face! ​

Milas loves people, he has a sweet and soft personality and is very affectionate.

Like all our dogs, he can't wait to get to his forever home! Can you sponsor him until he gets there?

Milas loves to be naughty; if you choose him then expect updates like videos of him emptying out the newly filled water buckets with a cheeky look on his face while he's splashing around in the water!

The boy who wants to leave the shelter so badly! Despite this, he has never received an adoption request.

Our one-eyed big boy Kofte arrived with us 2 years ago. He had been rescued from the government shelter as a tiny puppy of only 2-3 months old. When he was found in the shelter, his body was shutting down from malnutrition, but he made a miraculous recovery and grew into a healthy, strong giant! We don't know what happened to his right eye, but Kofte doesn't let being one-eyed get in the way of being a happy, excited boy!

Kofte is a strong, energetic, playful dog, who would love to spend most of his days exploring, playing and cuddling.

Myra and her sister Ora were found roaming the streets on Lisanne's way to the dog enclosure one morning. They were all alone and they were confused and scared. They were covered in ticks and were very hungry. Most probably they were abandoned by their mother's owner because they are female. In rural areas of Turkey, female dogs are not wanted, and people prefer male dogs.

Myra is one of the sweetest dogs we have in the enclosure at the moment. Easy-going, calm, and always up for cuddles.​ She loves people and is very affectionate.

If you sponsor Myra, expect videos of her cuddling up to visitors and lounging with her pals in the shelter!

​

​Marcy was abandoned by her previous owner who tied her to our front gate one evening. She has been with us ever since.

​

Marcy is one big bundle of love, who despite her 30kg weight, thinks she is a lap dog!

She doesn't have a tail, and has a small tic in her hind legs, so if you look carefully, it looks like she is constantly dancing!​

Expect photos and videos of her rolling over for belly rubs and cuddles at any opportunity!​​​​​

​

​​​Skylar arrived in the Melez shelter as a tiny puppy of only a few months old. She had been living on the streets all by herself when she was hit by a car and broke her leg.

Skylar grew up in the Melez shelter and grew into a beautiful, sweet dog. She is a very gentle dog, with a sweet temperament and a soft nature.

Skylar is very sweet and friendly towards people, and loves getting attention.

This sweet girl loves nothing more than playing with her kennel mates! 

One thing Skylar loves to do is play with toys, so much so, that she steals toys from the other dogs. Expect photos and videos of her up to all kinds of mischief if you choose her.​​​​​​​​​​

​​​Poor Diya was living on the streets amongst a large pack of stray dogs fed by a local animal lover. She was a bit of a loner, always quiet and hanging in the back but this couldn't keep her safe from the traffic and one day she got hit by a car and broke her hips. She was found after the accident, lying on the ground crying but after she recovered no-one wanted her! ​

Diya is a quiet and unassuming girl, but also very affectionate. She manages to steal everyone's heart with her doe-eyed beauty! Diya loves people and will quietly come ask for attention.​ The shelter is too crowded for her, and she usually hangs in the back by herself, patiently waiting for her turn to get cuddles. ​​​​​

If you choose to sponsor her, you'll be overloaded with photos of her staring up at you with her big beady eyes!​
