As part of our Cor​po​ra​te So​cial Re​spon​si​bi​li​ty (CSR) ini​tia​tive, we spent the day wa​lking, pla​ying with and sho​wing love to the she​lter’s re​scue dogs whi​le also ma​king a si​g​ni​fi​cant con​tri​bu​tion to their care. In addi​tion to our han​ds-on su​pport, Spo​twa​re do​na​ted essen​tial su​pplies, in​clu​ding food, trea​ts, blan​ke​ts and other ne​ce​ssi​ties to help provi​de the dogs with the co​mfort and nou​ri​shment they need.

Spo​twa​re’s CSR Co​mmi​tment

Spo​twa​re’s CSR ini​tia​tive, “I Work at Spo​twa​re and I Care,” is de​di​ca​ted to ma​king a po​si​tive impa​ct wi​thin our co​mpany and the wi​der co​mmu​ni​ty. Our mi​ssion is to active​ly su​pport non-pro​fit or​ga​ni​sa​tions and cha​ri​ta​ble cau​ses, fo​cu​sing on key areas such as pre​ma​tu​re baby care, chi​ldren ba​ttling seve​re ill​ne​sses, envi​ron​men​tal su​stai​na​bi​li​ty and ani​mal we​lfa​re. We fir​mly be​lieve that co​mpa​ssion and re​spon​si​bi​li​ty go hand in hand. Ow​ning a pet is a li​fe​long co​mmi​tment, and we en​cou​ra​ge ever​yo​ne to con​si​der the re​spon​si​bi​li​ty invo​lved be​fo​re bringing an ani​mal into their home. Every act of kin​d​ne​ss, big or sma​ll, ma​kes a di​ffe​ren​ce in crea​ting a sa​fer wor​ld for ani​ma​ls. At Spo​twa​re, we un​der​stand the impor​tan​ce of giving back and our CSR pro​g​ram is de​si​g​ned to fo​ster a cu​ltu​re of ge​ne​ro​si​ty, tea​mwork and co​mmu​ni​ty en​ga​ge​ment. Throu​gh ini​tia​tives like this, we hope to in​spi​re po​si​tive chan​ge and make a la​sting impa​ct on the lives of both peo​ple and ani​ma​ls in need.

Dog Va​lley Re​scue Cen​tre: A She​lter in Need

Dog Va​lley Re​scue Cen​tre is a de​di​ca​ted or​ga​ni​sa​tion that provi​des re​fu​ge to over 300 aban​do​ned and abu​sed dogs from Li​ma​ssol and Pa​phos. The she​lter wor​ks ti​re​le​ssly to offer food, me​di​cal care and safe hou​sing for the​se ani​ma​ls whi​le striving to find them fo​rever ho​mes in the UK, Ger​many, Ru​ssia, and other coun​tries. Ho​wever, the cen​tre is cur​ren​tly fa​cing an ur​gent cri​sis as it is being for​ced to clo​se due to the sale of its land. With a loo​ming Octo​ber dea​dli​ne, Dog Va​lley Re​scue Cen​tre has issued an ur​gent appeal for ado​ptions and fo​ste​ring to en​su​re that all their dogs find safe and loving ho​mes be​fo​re time runs out. The she​lter’s sta​ff and vo​lun​teers work ti​re​le​ssly to provi​de care for the​se dogs, but they rely heavi​ly on do​na​tions and co​mmu​ni​ty su​pport. Every con​tri​bu​tion, whe​ther fi​nan​cial, ma​te​rial, or throu​gh ado​ption, ma​kes a si​g​ni​fi​cant di​ffe​ren​ce in their mi​ssion to pro​te​ct and re​ho​me the​se vu​l​ne​ra​ble ani​ma​ls.
