Dali Dog Rescue UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (no. 1198532, registered in April 2022) that rehomes dogs from Cyprus. Its website says it works "in collaboration with D.O.G Rescue Cyprus", and its story begins with the Dali dog pound in Cyprus.
The fee and what it covers
According to its adoption page, for adult dogs "we ask for a minimum of £300 to contribute to the preparation of your dog for travel to the UK." For puppies (under 8-12 months), "the minimum cost is £180."
The adoption page lists an "EU Pet Passport"; testing "for heartworm, Ehrlichia, Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis and Leishmaniasis"; spaying/neutering "providing that this is medically viable for health and age reasons"; microchipping ("and we'll help you change the details when they arrive at their new home"); and de-worming and flea treatment. The rescue says it will follow up to check neutering has been done.
On transport, the same page says: "you are responsible for paying for flights and onward travel at a cost of £485." Added together, that makes a total of at least £665 for a puppy or £785 for an adult dog, based on the rescue's published minimums. Its FAQs say: "If you're overseas we'll also provide pre-flight vets checks, a pet passport and arrange transportation for your new dog." The website doesn't say how often dogs travel.
Who they rehome to
The adoption page says "you will need to pass a home visit and complete an adoption form, which will be sent to you upon enquiry", and that it will "need to see proof of ID as well as proof of address". It says everyone in the home must consent and that resident dogs will be assessed for compatibility.
The pages we read don't state a policy on cats, children or homes without a garden. The FAQs say: "All dogs are different, some of our dogs may have lived with animals which would be specified on their adoption notes", and that the charity can advise or arrange cat or small pet testing. Ask the rescue directly about your own circumstances.
After you adopt
The FAQs say: "We have a team of volunteers with experience in settling rescue dogs into their own homes." Adopters can request help by posting in the Dali Help and Advice Group, and the page recommends a qualified behaviourist or trainer for further support.

Collecting your dog: what the rules say
Rescue dogs come into Great Britain under commercial import rules. The government's Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) says a commercially imported dog must be delivered to the address on its import paperwork, not collected from a public place such as a car park or service station, and must then stay at that address for at least 48 hours. Whichever rescue you adopt from, ask where and how your dog will be handed over before the day.
