About Us
Williams Shelter is a privately operated shelter providing support to abandoned and sick animals in urgent need of help. The shelter currently provides home and care for more than 250 loving dogs, including senior dogs and dogs with chronic diseases, whose chances for adoption are meager. The shelter has helped more than 120 pets recover physically and emotionally and find homes in Cyprus and abroad in the last year alone.
William's Dog Shelter is run by Robert with only some help from other volunteers, who help in their spare time. Robert Majer takes care of more than 250 dogs and carries all the burden of the daily work: feeding, cleaning, running vet visits, administering medication, doing paperwork, dealing with rehoming, fostering, doing repair and construction, and many more.
The shelter was envisioned as a small home-like facility but grew significantly in no time due to the continuous inflow of abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs. The shelter depends solely on private donations and remains funded exclusively through public support and charity fundraising.
Robert Majer
Born in Slovakia, Robert has been involved in dog rescuing for the last 20 years, including 10 years in Cyprus. Robert has also volunteered at animal rescue centers in Greece and Israel. He also served as a Military Working Dog Handler during his compulsory military service in Slovakia.
Robert is firm in pursuing his dream of providing help and support to sick and old animals, who are not easy to rehome and are often rejected by other shelters.
