In
Crete it might prove hazardous to be born a dog.
Most of the people living here still have a different approach towards animals than in other parts of Europe. |
||||
 |
Cats
are somewhat better off - at least they are not chained up.
The worst fate is faced by the numerous strays which live on the leftovers of the tourism industry from April until October, not much is known about the remaining months (if they can manage to survive the winter they are often poisoned in the spring clean up). |
|||
|
The
Friends of Animals - Rethymno try to help in a practical way, always provided there are enough funds.
Puppies and injured or undernourished animals are cared for and get medical attention.
They are vaccinated, de-wormed, nursed back to health again and possibly neutered.
Equipped with the proper papers they are then ready to be rehomed.
Since the City of Rethymnon does not provide a shelter, the animals are being fostered in private homes, which are increasingly more difficult to find. |
 |
|||
| Other strays are neutered and released in the area they were found and preferably monitored and fed by caring animal lovers in the neighbourhood. | ||||
 |
Through
newspaper ads and rehoming-lists published at the local vets and pet shops we attempt to rehome as many pets as possible in the Rethymnon area.
The remaining ones are sent to other European countries after about a month, when their vaccinations are completed.
We have no other choice for the simple reason, we have to make room for other animals in need. Most of the dogs sent abroad will go again to private foster homes, just a few are sent to (selected) shelters. |
|||
| Chances for rehoming abroad are very good. Due to their bad experiences from early childhood on, the dogs taken in by animal welfare organizations have proved to be very grateful and easily adapt to their new lifes. | ||||
|
The pictures on this page are from animals taken in and rehomed by Friends of Animals.
If you click on one of the pictures, a silde show will start, and you can see some of the animals in their original surroundings. Nothing really dreadful, because we do not want to tell horror stories, just enough to give you an idea of some of our everyday encounters. |
 |
|||
| Due to airline regulations we need an escort for the animal's transport abroad. | ||||

Adoption
available to EU countries.
Although not impossible, we do not recommend adoption to the UK, Ireland, Sweden and Norway due to strict and lengthy quarantine regulations.
For up-to-date photos of animals for adoption, please view our photo albumOften tourists offer to help during their holidays. If you want to do the same, please contact us by e-mail: all offers of help are welcome. |

|
Our
association is actively supported by
Noah's Ark Crete |
||||
|
When
possible we receive a donation from the
Greek Animal Welfare Fund (GAWF) However, there is never enough money to achieve what we have planned. The costs for vaccinations, operations, medicine, microchips, vaccination books and transport of the animals are tremendous. Therefore Friends of Animals - Rethymno are thankful for every donation, which will guarantee our continuing volunteer work for the animals in need. |
 |
|||
| Because of the amount of work our volunteers have to deal with in their spare time, the actual and long-term goal of our association is sometimes neglected: to inform and raise awareness of animal needs in Greece. To work with the Greek people, especially the children, so that barrel dogs, puppies in rubbish bins, poisoned cats and dogs and half starved strays will be pictures of the past. | ||||

| One way to lower your auto insurance premium in Canada is to have a high deductible. The deductible is the amount of money that insureds agree to pay before the insurance policy takes over the payments. For example, insureds may agree to pay for repairs up to a certain amount in the event that something damages the car. It should be an amount, of course, that the insureds believe they can afford. The bonus of a high deductible is lower premiums because the Calgary car insurance company has been contracted to be obligated to pay less money when anything happens to the vehicle. | |
