'ANIMALS SHARE WITH US THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING A SOUL' ~ Pythagoras

'THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED' ~ Mahatma Gandhi

I left the UK and came to live in this beautiful part of Greece with two cats in 2005. Never did I think that animal welfare/rescuing would take over all other planned activities. The plight of these helpless innocent souls is heartbreaking.

Thin Blackie


This morning, a new bark in the field alerted us to a new arrival.  When we saw the state of this poor black dog, ones heart sinks to the floor. She was malnutritioned and dehydrated.  Lucy wasn't too keen on her arrival, nor were the cats, but she was desperately hungry and needed water. She arrived with a rope around her neck, which was OK for us, as we were able to attach a lead, to calm her down, also so that she wouldn't charge after the other strays.  Looking further, she was heavily pregnant and the chances were that her babies would be born within the next few days.  Where in the world would we possible keep them?  I suppose, when she has them, we will find a solution, but for now she was safe. 

Sadly as the days went by, she vanished.  We searched high and low for her.  It might have been that she went to a safe place to have her babies.  When animals go missing like this, one really does worry, but this is Greece.  We did what we could for her and now hope and pray that she is safe from harm.

A rescue shelter is needed for cases like Blackie.  It is with this reason, that I desperately want to raise funds for a shelter, which will be a safe haven, where they will receive food, love, care and much more.  It will be hard to get to where I want to, but everything is achievable.  One needs to believe.
