Event Review
Christmas Fair 2011
This was a great event with so many supporters coming
along to help and buy Xmas gifts - lots of Greek dogs
turned up too!
Thank you to everyone for making it possible.
Xmas Tree
Church Festival 2011
We are very grateful to our
supporters Robin and Margaret who entered their local church
Xmas Tree competition on behalf of our charity.They decorated it with baubles made from
photos of our rescue dogs and also hung Bonio's on the branches.17 trees were entered and our's came 4th
so this helped raise some funds for us as well as 'spreading the
word' about what we do.
Charity Auction 2011
Around 130 people enjoyed a wonderful
evening at the Meridian Milano showroom with TV celebrity Paul
Martin (BBC Flog It).The event was a huge success and we would like to thank
everyone who donated the 200 items that were auctioned on the
night.
Charity Tea Party &
Carnivals 2011
Charity Dog Show 2011
The sun shone
all day and we enjoyed our best dog show yet!Around 250 dogs joined in, 70 of which were Greek
dogs that we had homed.It was great fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves.An additional attraction this year was a
fantastic demonstration by the Solent Dog Display Team and we
also had a visit from two RAF Police Dogs who were very happy to
meet the visitors.
It was hard work but just lovely to
see so many families enjoying a fun day out with their dogs.
News Years Day Charity
Walk 2011
On New Year's Day
many supporters with their dogs, including many adopted
Greek dogs, took part in a dog walk by the beach.It is always lovely to see them and we
thank Jan Smith for arranging it once again
Dog Walk September 2010
This was our most
successful ever with over 150 dogs joining in the walk in the
New Forest.Manywere Greek rescue dogs and they travelled far and wide to
support us and it was wonderful for us to see them so happy in
their new homes.Our
Patron, Paul Martin with his family and dogs Bluebell and Diesel
came along and a great time was had by all.We had wonderful home made cakes and refreshments and the
support was amazing!
Thank you to everyone who had a part in making this such a
wonderful event.
2010 Charity Dog Show
New Years Day Dog Walk 2010
We are very grateful to Jan Smith
for organising the unofficial dog walk on New Year's Day at
Hengistbury Head.It was a beautiful, sunny day but
bitterly cold.We had lots of families join in and everyone,
including the dogs of course, enjoyed it thoroughly.It is always so nice to see the Greek dogs with
their families, especially Afaia who was visiting from her home
in Ireland.
Annual Christmas Fair 2009
The annual Xmas Fair was again a
huge success.The weather had been dreadful all week but the
sun shone on us that morning.Mark and 3 Greek dogs stayed outside in the shopping
precinct to attract customers inside and the photo shows the
dogs Luna (from Thassos) and Giovanni with Woody (from Aegina)
Charity Auction 14th November 2009
Once again our
Patron, Paul Martin, did a fantastic job as auctioneer.
There were
around 150 guests who generously placed bids on 160 lots.The Meridien Milano car showroom was a stunning
venue and the evening was a huge success.The range of donated lots was incredibly wide,
from holidays, a Ferrari test drive, a signed Chelsea shirt,
bottles of wines and spirits, pictures and commissions and even
a Paul O'Grady nodding dog!
Summer Garden Party - August 2009
The recent summer garden party was
a great success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed tea and home
made cakes on a beautiful sunny day in Bournemouth.
Spyros joined in and thought the
cake was great too
Another Dog Hanged – this
time in Crete
I am so sad to hear
that another dog has been hanged in Greece.It was discovered by a Dutch tourist and I have
seen the very harrowing photographs from Exomouliana, Crete.He complained to the Greek Ministry of Tourism and he
received the ‘standard’ reply letter.I am quoting it because it is SO UNBELIEVABLE!
‘With
reference to your email, we would like to inform you that our
country acknowledges it’s moral and legal obligation for the
treatment and management of stray animals.For this purpose has adopted and enacted a legislative
framework targeting the animal protection and reduction of stray
animals.The
guidelines of this management consists of their registration,
veterinary examination, deparasitation, vaccination and their
sterilization as well as provision of veterinary care in case of
illness of injury.
Their return to the place they have been collected or for
adoption, excluding their enclosure in asylums, respecting of
animals rights associations.We would like to assure you that isolated incidences of
stray animal’s bad treatment can not put in question our
country’s continues efforts to protect them and improve their
life conditions.’
Well, I
have never read such rubbish and several of us are doing our
utmost to get this into the media, including the television.
Visit to Greece – May 2009
This time of the year is, sadly, when so many kittens get
dumped into the rubbish bins for disposal!Hard to believe but this is a very common
practice in
Greece.
Here are some that
were lucky enough to be removed before the bins were emptied.
The Greek authorities have the audacity to say that they
have animal welfare laws in place to prevent animal suffering.
But
the truth is that
NOTHING
is done to help these poor souls.
During our 5 day trip, 19 kittens were saved from the
dustbin lorry and we have pledged to get them homes and pay for
their sterilization in 6 month’s time.If you would like to make a donation
towards helping these kittens please contact us.
