On May of 2000, in Thessaloniki, in co-operation with the municipality of Pylea and GAWF (Greek Animals Welfare Fund), we established the non-profit organization “Stray Animals Care-Love”. Its purpose was to make our individual efforts more organized and effective. According to the official policy of the organization, our basic aims are to protect, help and take care of stray animals.
To make these happen, we try to
• re-home some of the animals we host at our shelter
• control births by neutering of stray animals
• and, in co-operation with the Greek authorities, protect animals from being abused, indicating and suing actions of maltreatment, and offering law protection where it is needed.
Until today we have managed
• To re-home several dogs and cats, always checking the quality of their new lives.
• With the contribution of the Municipality of Pylea, to neuter a big number of cats and dogs, in order to control births.
• We constantly try to make people aware that neutering (and not poisoning) of strays is the only solution in order to control their population.
• With the contribution of students from the Veterinary Department, from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, we inform pupils and teachers of elementary schools about our responsibilities toward stray animals.
• We take place in protests against circuses with animals.
• We support individuals who offer their love to strays, so they will keep on their effort.
• The clinics of veterinary university of Thessaloniki, appreciating our work, are contributing with their scientific help and support.
Problems our shelter faces.
• We have temporally been given a place, but in the future we have to find our permanent own place to keep on helping animals that need our assistance.
• There is no permanent staff/ personnel.
Until now the whole effort is based upon volunteering assistance.
• There are no vehicles.
Vehicles are essential to gather wounded animals and to transfer them to the vets.
We would like to thank all people who assist and enhance our efforts. We firmly believe in volunteering work and any other kind of contribution, so that in the future we can achieve better and bigger results.
You would like to adopt an animal but you don’t have the necessary accommodation for it?
You too could enter our Virtual Adoption Program that was created with the goal to help stray animals, so that the foster parents could provide for them without having the every day burden. What we mean is that there is a probability to adopt a dog or a cat by covering the feeding and medical treatment expenses for a certain agreed period, whilst the animal will be living in ‘Stray Animals Care’ provided sanctuary
During this Virtual Adoption period you have the possibility to visit and watch the progress of the animal that is supported by your love and caring.
These are just a few of the strays that you can support.
