Gaston, a Labrador cross estimated to have been born on 20 March 2024, arrived at the Simba Animal Aid Cyprus shelter on 13 March 2026 and is fully available for adoption. Now two years old, he has grown past the more demanding puppy stage while retaining all the warmth and sociability that make the Labrador breed so widely loved. Politis to the Point continues its cooperation with Simba Animal Aid Cyprus to help dogs like Gaston find the families they deserve.
Who Gaston is
Shelter staff describe Gaston as a dog who lives for human company. He is equally at ease on a long walk or a quiet evening at home, adapting readily to the rhythm of the people around him. His temperament is warm and people-oriented, and he responds enthusiastically to attention and affection.
Gaston is also highly sociable with other dogs, making him a strong candidate for a household that already has a canine companion. He would equally thrive as the sole pet in a home where he receives consistent company and engagement.
At two years old, he sits at an ideal point in a dog's development — the impulsiveness of puppyhood behind him, yet his energy, curiosity and capacity to learn very much intact.
Why shelter life is difficult for him
Gaston is a dog who draws his wellbeing from companionship. kennel life, with its isolation and limited social contact, is particularly hard on dogs of his character. Those who have worked with him at the shelter say he flourishes the moment he is in the presence of people, and that his full personality can only truly be seen in a home environment.
