Greek Animal Rescue

Fleas, ticks & mites don’t just irritate, they spread painful diseases. That’s why we send Bravecto, not “garlic water”. One tablet protects for 12+ weeks 💚

Sophia at Shelter Morivo Mesologhi shows the difference your support makes for Greece’s strays 🐾

A little Monday hope 🐾

Agathi in Preveza found 19 abandoned puppies and 2 mothers left to survive alone. Thanks to GAR supporters, we helped cover her vet bill so every one of them got the care they needed.

“Thank you so much for helping me care for these little souls.” 💛

🐾 50 cats neutered in Legrena, southern Greece 🐾
A beautiful seaside village but home to countless strays. Neutering means fewer kittens born into hardship, fewer fights and calmer healthier lives. Adoption saves one, neutering saves thousands. 💙

“Today’s menu was Bravecto!” 🐾 Not with chips – but the tick & flea protection that kept strays in Volos safe this summer. Thanks to your support, they made it through the heat without scratching, itching, or unwanted hitchhikers. A small gift, a big impact. 💛

✨ In Rhodes’ old town cemetery, cats roam among the stones, cared for by the terrific trio Tina, Marianne & Judy 🐾 GAR helps with feed & neutering so they stay healthy today and fewer kittens suffer tomorrow 💕

Pixie was found alone in a Greek field, scared and unwanted. Today she’s safe in her forever home in West Sussex 💕 Every link in the chain – from rescuers to adopters – made this possible. 🐾

Psara – an island in the North Aegean and a new place for us to be working.

60 cats and 2 dogs have just been neutered, thanks to the work of local volunteers and the team led by Dr Trakas.

It doesn’t make headlines, but this is how suffering is reduced: island by island, one operation at a time.

In Megara, west of Athens, amazing volunteers are working with us to keep stray dogs safe 🐾 Thanks to your donations, Bravecto protects them from ticks & parasites – something homemade remedies can’t. Together we’re making life safer for Greece’s strays 💙

Greek Animal Rescue 💙🐾 Since 1989 we’ve been a small UK volunteer-run charity helping abandoned animals in Greece. We fund neutering, support tireless rescue volunteers, cover urgent medical care & rehome dogs to loving homes in the UK. Follow for real rescue & second chances.

Ben has just taken on his very first triathlon - at Lake Vidaru in Romania 🏊🚴🏃. He even had a local bear in the crowd to cheer him on 🐻👏

His effort raised £365 for Greek Animal Rescue, helping us care for abandoned and abused animals in Greece. Thank you so much, Ben!

🌸 Athena – a year on! 🌸

A year ago Athena travelled from Greece to her forever home in Suffolk. Today she’s thriving, adored by her family, and known affectionately as “Dollop”! 💕

Adopting a rescue changes your life AND theirs. 🐾

In Evosmos, Thessaloniki, our summer parasite programme is protecting strays from fleas and ticks 🐾.

Why it matters:
– Ticks spread ehrlichia, babesiosis & more.
– Fleas trigger painful infections.
– Prevention keeps dogs healthier, stronger & ready for adoption. ❤️

Your support makes this possible

Adoption changes one life.
Neutering changes thousands.

This year we funded 50 cat spays in Nea Kallikrateia, Halkidiki 🇬🇷, real change that begins in the clinic, not the spotlight.

What do you think makes the bigger impact - adoption or neutering?

💛 A tribute to Daisy, in memory of Val Caulkin 💛

Rescued from Athens after losing a leg, Daisy gave Val & her family 12 years of love. When Val passed peacefully, Daisy rested her head on Val’s lap - then quietly walked away. Sometimes we rescue them… sometimes they rescue us. 🐾
