Give a stray dog a forever home
As there are so many unwanted dogs in Greece looking for homes, we are only posting a few on our adoption page. The key to successful adoptions is to match dogs with families’ personalities, lifestyles, expectations and experience. Once accepted, we will offer you dogs that are appropriate.
BEFORE YOU COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE please contact Lyn by email: [email protected] with a brief resume of your personal situation and where you live as there are parts of the UK which we are unable to cover owing to the logistics involved. Please include your phone number. We also give preference to people/families with previous experience of rescue dogs. We always respond promptly, therefore, if you haven’t received a reply within 48 hours, please check your Spam and Trash files also.
When agreed, please fill out this 
Pre-Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Lyn and the above address. If you don’t know how to answer some of the questions it’s important to just say you don’t know. We need to be aware of your level of experience as it helps us to guide you in your choice of dog. Some adopters have more experience than others which is fine. We believe that there is always an appropriate dog for most circumstances but we just have to find the right one!
Having received your application, we then have another conversation and, if agreed, we carry out a home visit so we can meet your family and check the security of your home. This enables us to guide you in choosing a new doggie family member. You will then receive appraisals and videos of suitable dogs and, once we have a good option, we carry out the following blood tests: Leishmaniasis, Erhlichia, Anasplasma, Heartworm, Brucellosis and Babesia. All dogs are sterilised (if old enough), fully vaccinated, microchipped, have a pet passport and travel with a licensed animal transporter. One of our Trustees is also a very experienced vet and she can discuss medical issues if you have concerns.
The level of cruelty, neglect and abuse in Greece is shocking and it is ‘the norm’ that animals be treated in such a way. Strays are beaten, poisoned and killed; they don’t stand a chance without our help. Please consider adopting a Greek dog to bring them out of their extremely cruel and miserable conditions; at the same time it frees a space for another to be rescued.
Below is a small selection of the dogs available for homing but we have access to hundreds of lovely, unwanted dogs so please don’t think that the published list is all that are available. If you have specific preferences, please contact Lyn.
