Everyone loves a rescue story. But this is what actually changes things: 200 stray cats neutered in one area. No big moment. Just fewer kittens being born into a life most won’t survive. We don’t have an adoption problem, we have an unchecked breeding problem. Real change happens in clinics.

In Kyparissia, one man is feeding over 300 stray cats, while also caring for 30+ special needs cats at home. No funding behind him, just daily commitment. Our food support arrived today, and it makes a real difference here. Without it, this simply wouldn’t be sustainable. #AnimalRescue #StreetCats

Elizabeth Koubena has worked in Greek animal welfare since 1987. From 2015–2023, she led a neutering programme on Aegina that sterilised 5,641 cats - supported by Greek Animal Rescue. No headlines. Just long-term work that stops suffering before it starts.

Midlands… we’d really like to meet you 🌱 We’ll be at VegfestUK Birmingham on April 25th (and it’s FREE this year). 📍 Edgbaston Cricket Ground 🕙 10am–7pm If you’ve ever supported us or followed our work, come and have a proper chat. 🎟️ www.citizenticket.com/events/vegfe...

He was found with no fur. A broken pelvis. Barely alive. Now he struts. Jeimson is 10kg of confidence 💚 Fantastic with other dogs, loves people. Ready for a UK home 🇬🇧 Still waiting. 🎥 youtube.com/shorts/AcdVe... 🐾 greekanimalrescue.com/adopt Please don’t just scroll past him, share 🙏

He was the one nobody noticed. Quiet. Gentle. Easy to pass by. We met Monty in Karditsa last October and knew he just needed someone to see him. Someone did. Now he’s adopted in Yorkshire, warm, wanted and exactly where he belongs. That’s the difference a home makes. greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

Dumped in the mountains and left to figure it out alone. No shelter. No food. Just puppies… and whatever came next. A local volunteer stepped in. We helped with food and medication. Now they’re safe - and they’ve got a chance. This is what your support does ❤️

35 dogs. 40 cats. One small area in Dimini, just outside Volos. Nothing here will go viral. But this is what actually reduces suffering. Not shares. Not “awareness”. Neutering. We don’t have a stray problem - we have a breeding problem. Adoptions help a few. Neutering helps thousands.

Not everyone will choose Lucky, and that’s exactly why she’s still waiting. 9 years old, calm, gentle, and happiest in the woods 🌳 A little wobbly, but full of life. She’s not perfect. She’s special. 📍Foster in Essex 📞 Gillian 07795 170222 📧 [email protected]

Breakfast time in Peristeri, Athens. They return to the same spots each day because they know there’ll be food. That consistency is everything when you’re living on the streets. It’s simple, but it keeps them going. Thank you to everyone helping make this possible 💛

Easter on Salamina 🇬🇷 - 26 years on. Our founder Vesna Jones, who started Greek Animal Rescue, came here 26 years ago and chose to help. We’re still here today supporting volunteers and neutering work. 80 cats recently spayed. Step by step, it’s real change. Thank you for being part of it ❤️

He was completely wild… now he’s judging carrots 🫏🥕 Meet Michalakis. Born into a group of unhandled horses and donkeys, he’d never known human contact, just survival. We funded his neutering, without it, he wouldn’t be able to live safely with others. Now, for the first time, he has that chance.

“Surprise Surprise! What’s your name?” “My name’s Cilla… and I’m ready for my home 🐾” 1 year old, 8kg, full of life and love. Found alone as a pup, now bursting with personality. Watch her 👇 youtube.com/shorts/4I8pF... UK home needed 🇬🇧 greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

140 dogs. One woman. No safety net. This is Vicky in Patra, feeding strays every day so they survive. We sent food because of you. Without it, they go hungry. This is what support looks like. Help us keep it going: greekanimalrescue.com/help-and-don... PayPal: [email protected]

15+ years working side by side 🇬🇷 We’ve supported Ermioni in Karditsa for over a decade, together changing thousands of lives. Many Diasozo dogs now in UK homes. Latest: we funded 30 dog + 50 cat neuters. This is what long-term rescue actually looks like.

Not an April Fool. Just Billy… still waiting 🐾 4yrs old. In UK foster. Ready to go. Loves running (you’ve been warned), people, and other dogs. Some dogs get picked. Some get overlooked. It’s that simple. Go on then - prove us wrong: greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

They don’t wait because they’re patient. They wait because they’re hungry. We sent feed support to Volos, where Anni feeds strays every day. Without people like her, these dogs don’t eat. No rescue vans. No spotlight. Just survival. This is the reality for strays in Greece.

One dog outside a takeaway on Salamina Island didn’t look right. That call led to 4 hidden puppies - collars had grown into their necks. All rushed to the vet. Greek Animal Rescue funded treatment, care, and sterilisation. All Now safe. Now homed. It starts with someone paying attention.

Sunday evening update from Suffolk 🐾 Lio is settled, loved, and living the life every dog deserves - country walks, a little doggy brother and a family who adore him. “He’s happy and content and all the things a dog should be.” Thinking about adopting? www.greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

We don’t have a stray problem - we have an unchecked breeding problem. But without food, even neutering work stops. On Salamina, Vasia feeds and neuters strays daily. No food = no neutering, no care, just survival. Feed support isn’t optional. It’s what keeps everything going. 🐾

We didn’t “launch” a YouTube channel. We just kept turning up and doing the work. Now it’s passed 1,000 subscribers - no campaign, no noise. Just consistent posts about what actually matters: neutering, real rescue and dogs still waiting. That’s the point of all of this. youtube.com/@Greek-Anima...

“Adopt, don’t shop” sounds good. But it doesn’t mean much when dogs and cats are still sitting here… waiting. These Greek rescues are ready for UK homes. Some are already in UK foster. No excuses left. 👉 greekanimalrescue.com/adopt/ Adoption changes one life. Ignoring them changes nothing.

We don’t have a stray dog problem - we have an unchecked breeding problem. Until neutering is prioritised, the suffering doesn’t stop.

This won’t go viral. But it will change lives. 121 animals neutered in Corfu this year. 74 dogs. 47 cats. Each one prevents more animals being born into suffering. That’s how you reduce strays - not later, but at the source. Neutering: the unglamorous, vital solution.

They’re not pets. They’re not owned. But they still need to eat. In Kallithea, Athens, Dorianna feeds the stray cats on her streets every day - no recognition, no funding, just consistency. A handful of food doesn’t look like much, but it's survival. This is what your support does.

We’ve raised over £450 for Jewel (+ GiftAid) - thank you. She’s now getting treatment, food and care. We’re just over halfway - let’s get her the rest of the way. Please donate here: donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/lit... PayPal: [email protected]

Someone tied this dog outside a shelter… and walked away. No note. No explanation. This is Cindy. She’s 2 years old, bright and active. She loves to learn, loves to run, and settles well when she’s with her people. She’s ready for a proper home now. greekanimalrescue.com/adopt 🐾

We need to be honest. Jewel is safe - but her recovery is only just beginning. She needs treatment, food and ongoing care… and we’ve raised just £40 so far. Even a small donation helps: donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/lit...

Not all rescue heroes are quiet. Ntina isn’t. She’s out there daily - tracking strays, organising transport, getting animals to the vet. With our support covering neutering costs, we’ve helped sterilise 400+ animals together. This is what real change looks like 💪🇬🇧🇬🇷

This is Jewel today. She’s safe… but still very fragile and only just beginning her recovery. She needs treatment, proper food and ongoing care. Even a small donation helps 🙏 donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/lit...

Tiny kitten trapped in a car engine. Huge abscess and bone infection. Aisopos volunteers in Kavala stepped in fast. Surgery and care gave her a second chance. GAR covered her treatment. She’s now safe in foster, healing well ❤️

Jewel is 2 months old. Found this week in Karditsa with a plastic strap tied around her body. Malnourished, ticks, mange. She’s safe now, but still fragile and only just beginning recovery. Please help us to help her: donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/lit...

150+ strays. One person. Every day. On Rhodes, Cristina feeds cats and dogs in bins, fields and empty hotels - early mornings, late nights, no fuss. Just turning up. Your donations filled bowls this winter. It’s not glamorous. It’s survival. greekanimalrescue.com/help-and-don...

Pointer lovers 🤍 Please meet Oreo. 8–9 yrs, gentle, quiet, deeply loyal. Found terrified and starving in a Greek city - now safe but still waiting. Wants a calm, patient home. 🇬🇧 Ready for UK 📞 Gillian 07795 170222 📧 [email protected] www.greekanimalrescue.com/adopt #PointerLove

Happy Friday… this is what real change looks like 👇 30 cats neutered in Sissi, Crete 🇬🇷 Not glamorous, but it stops suffering before it starts. Fewer litters, fewer fights, fewer strays. We don’t have a stray adoption problem - we have an unchecked breeding problem.

100+ animals fed today because of you 🇬🇷 In Gargalianoi, Vaso cares for over 100 dogs & cats every day. This delivery means full bowls and real relief. Feed support is survival. Does anyone even see this? Drop a like 🙏🏼 greekanimalrescue.com/help-and-don... PayPal: [email protected]

Emma 😊 that smile says everything. Nearly 4, medium-sized, gentle + good with other dogs. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long before you get the cuddly, waggy version of her.0She’s never lived in a home before, so she’ll need patience. UK homes 🇬🇧 Gillian on 07795 170222

They didn’t just listen… they acted. At a school visit in Kavala, Despina and the Aisopos team spoke with young children about strays, kindness and responsibility. The children then collected 20kg of food for local animals. Rescue saves today. Education protects tomorrow. 🐾

Monday morning in Athens. No dramatic rescues - just cats in traps on their way to the vet. Thanks to volunteers Dimitra and Georgia, 30 cats in Chalandri have now been sterilised. Fewer kittens born to the streets. Healthier cats. Calmer communities. Quiet work. Real impact. 💪🏻

From stray in Greece to boat-watching in France 🇫🇷🐾 Sissy only arrived a few weeks ago and is already settling beautifully. Huge thanks to her adopter Daniel for sharing these lovely moments. Many more Greekies are still waiting for their chance. Adopt: greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

Behind many stray animals in Greece, there’s someone like Vaso. In rural Gargalianoi she quietly cares for around 100 animals - about 60 dogs and 40 cats who would otherwise have nowhere to go.

Leski's been waiting 7yrs for someone to choose her. 🐾 Found as a puppy in a Karditsa car park, she later survived a car accident and healed with care. Now this calm, gentle 15kg girl is ready for a peaceful UK home. 📞 07795 170222 📧 [email protected] greekanimalrescue.com/adopt

Friday the 13th… unlucky? Not in Volos. 🐾 We’ve funded the neutering of 10 female stray dogs with the help of rescuer Errika Zougrou. One had been giving birth again and again. That cycle has now stopped. Neutering means fewer animals born to a harsh life as strays and healthier dogs.

Billy, a friendly street cat from Marousi in Athens, was found with a badly broken hind leg. Athina rushed him to the vet. Two surgeries and two weeks in the clinic later, he’s recovering well and already walking almost normally. We happily covered all his medical costs. 🐾

Laslo is ready for his fresh start 🌼 Around 5 yrs old and 15kg, this gentle, thoughtful boy is currently in foster in Lincolnshire. A little shy at first, but once he trusts you his loyalty shines through. Calm, adult-only home preferred. Adopt: greekanimalrescue.com/adopt #adoptdontshop

This is what feed support looks like. Street cats in Edessa, Greece, being fed by Theony and Simos from Garden of Hades using food you helped us send. Long feeding routes. Quiet neighbourhood corners. Cats waiting for the people they trust. Not glamorous work. Just steady care. 💛

Wildfires destroy forests. But they also leave animals behind. After the Patras fires in August we funded the neutering of 50 animals in the burned areas of Sychaina–Xerolaka and Pavlokastro. It won’t make headlines but it prevents the next generation of suffering. #AnimalRescue #NeuterSaveLives

Do you remember the sheep rescued on a motorbike during the Patras wildfires? 🐑🔥 Her name was Melpo. What no one knew then… she was pregnant. Now her daughter Halva has been born safely at Vegan Farm Athens. We've sent €1,000 towards food and care, because the real work begins after the rescue.

Pepe's ready for a fresh start 🐾 This happy 3-yr-old spaniel (16kg) was rescued from under a bridge by a busy road in Pyrgos. Now safe in foster, he’s hoping a UK family will choose him. Calm, affectionate + dog-friendly. greekanimalrescue.com/adopt 📞 Gillian 07795 170222 Pls share for Pepe 💛

Old stray. Arthritic. Covered in fleas. Grace didn’t look like an “easy” adoption. Jan & Steve said yes. 💛 Now she’s enjoying retirement in Lincolnshire with soft beds, regular meals and dog friends. Rain? Still unacceptable ☔! greekanimalrescue.com/adopt
