Argos Sanctuary - Registered animal welfare charity

Loyalty and Heroism being inherent values of the nature of animals was foremost in our minds when it came down to selecting an appropriate name that would represent our andimal rescue and protection association. A most poignant account reflecting such qualities is the story of Argos the faithful dog or Odysseus.

In Greek mythology, Odysseus, king of Ithaca, had reluctantly left his homeland to fight in the Trojan war which lasted 10 years. After many more adventures, he finally returned to Ithaca 21 years later only to find his palace overrun with suitors for the hand of Penelope, his Queen. Disguised as a beggar so that none would recognize him, he aimed to rid his palace of the suitors.

Argos, his beloved and loyal dog, now old and neglected, was the ony one who recognised Odysseus. The long wait for his master had come to an end and the only thing that Argos could manage was to wag his tail before he lay down and died at his masters feet.

Argos is a registered charity with a mission to rescue and protect all abandoned, sick and homeless animals. By educating the public on animal issues, we strive to reduce animal suffering, cruelty and abuse in all its forms.

We investigate cruelty, work to enforce existing laws and fight for animal legislation reforms.

Our aim is the establishment of a sanctuary near Dhekelia, on land being leased to us by the Government so as to provide a refuge to all homeless and unloved animals. Their rehabilitation into loving and caring homes being our ultimate goal.
