Pepe is a sensitive soul — extremely intelligent and affectionate — but unfortunately not very lucky when it comes to his health.
In 2020, he developed a benign tumor on his front right leg, which was removed that same year. The biopsy showed a collagenous skin tag. Unfortunately, over the years the tumor reappeared and, due to its location and size, it could not be surgically removed.
Pepe began to suffer, and eventually, at the beginning of 2025, his leg had to be amputated. He is now a tripod dog and over the past year has had to adjust to his new reality. Today, however, Pepe runs again and smiles!
In addition, he has a heart murmur, which we monitor every six months with an ultrasound performed in Syros, as this service is not available on our island. For his heart condition, he follows a steady medication regimen.
We would love for you to support Pepe through virtual adoption by offering a monthly contribution toward his care and needs. Your support is not only financial — it is also an act of love. It means you are thinking of him, sending him strength from afar, and wishing that everything goes well for him.

Become LOMRI’s Virtual Parent
LOMRI is a 17kg girl, born in 2019 — a mix of strength and sensitivity. She was found at the airport, her heavy chain stuck on a dangerous fence. Terrified, defensive, snapping at anyone who came near her. But from that day until today… Lomri has made huge progress. She is an insecure but incredibly brave girl who tries every single day to overcome her fears.
Her sensitive nature is the reason why she still waits for us every day and is not in her own home, which is why we are asking for your support so that we can provide Lomri, as well as all the other animals, with everything they need. Like other animals at the shelter, Lomri needs to eat specialized food that adds to the already high costs, as well as supplements that are necessary to maintain her health. But whatever she needs, we will try to provide it.
Until she finds her forever home… You can be her support through virtual adoption. Support her journey. Give her safety. Be her person.

Become QUERVO’s Virtual Parent
QUERVO (born approx. 01/2017, 29kg, microchip no. 941000023051820) is a one-of-a-kind dog with an enormous heart.
When he was found, he was skinny, hungry, exhausted — and one of his legs was badly injured. And yet…Quervo chose love. He is incredibly sweet and friendly with everyone he meets. Completely human-centered, he adores cuddles and affection. Every single day he welcomes us with huge enthusiasm — and then it’s playtime! He wants to be next to you. On the sofa. Looking into your eyes. Feeling safe.
Quervo has a cruciate ligament rupture in his back left leg. He shouldn’t run abruptly or jump from high places. He must not run fast or jump from heights, which is why he needs to take expensive, specialized supplements. He has also undergone surgery to remove a tumor from one of his legs. We never regretted the expense, no matter how difficult our financial situation was, no matter how much it cost us… But he will absolutely enjoy nature walks and the warmth of a loving home.
He is a strong dog with a puppy heart. Loyal, devoted, looking straight into your eyes and filling you with love.
A volunteer even created his own Facebook page to help him find a home — that’s how lovable he is.
Until he finds his human… Become his virtual parent. Support him. Be his safe place.

❤️ Fokas had no one when we found him, skin and bones, in the Kato Potamia area.
Today he is a happy, social, and friendly dog who loves cuddles, playtime, and human company. He has his own unique way of communicating: he doesn’t hear well and makes sounds that might be mistaken for growling, but if you understand him, he will melt your heart.
Through a virtual adoption, you can be part of his life and help him live comfortably, with love and care.

Kylo – A sensitive dog who needs time and security
Born: approx. 2020 | Height: 35 cm | Weight: 15 kg | Mix | Microchip no.: 900163000256387
Kylo was found on the streets of a village with his mother. They both had a very difficult life, hunted by people who killed many of Kylo’s siblings. He survived by hiding all day and only coming out at night to find food in the trash. He is shy, insecure, and needs time and peace. Unfortunately, Kylo recently developed a vision problem for which he received treatment but needs regular monitoring.
Unfortunately, due to his particular character, Kylo has stayed with us a little longer than we would have liked, but that means we enjoy him a little more. However, our expenses are constantly increasing, and we would like to find virtual adoptions for this wonderful creature so that we can give him everything he needs.
By virtually adopting Kylo, you are supporting his care and giving him security and love even from afar.
Your patience is the greatest gift for Kylo.
Watch him evolve and glow in his photo album.

Become ROGER’s Virtual Parent
ROGER (born approx. 11/2018, microchip no. 941000023052043) is a stunning Pointer with all the classic traits of his breed!
Active. Social. Smart. Playful to the bone.
He absolutely adores people. Every time he meets a volunteer, he lights up with pure excitement. He lives for human connection and melts under gentle petting. He is truly human-centered — a dog who belongs by someone’s side.
When we found Roger, he was skin and bones. So thin and hungry he was just a few steps away from collapsing.
During his first months with us, he was protective over his food — because he knew what starvation felt like.
Now?
He knows he will never starve again.
And all he wants to do is play.
Like every Pointer, he loves exploring with his nose and hunting lizards. Another hound abandoned — probably because he “didn’t do his job well enough.”
But Roger is not a tool. He is a soul.
As the years go by, his body is wearing out and needs more care, nutritional supplements, and support, so his expenses are increasing more and more.
Until he finds his forever home…
Become his virtual parent.
Support his journey. Give him the second chance he truly deserves.
Roger is ready to give his whole heart.

Hello, my friend…
My name is Bertie. I was found alone on a beach, searching for food and a little attention. I was alone, but I knew somewhere out there, a human would understand me.
Today, I am strong and playful, but inside I carry tenderness and love. I love to play, run, jump, and chase my toy. I love human company. Every touch fills me with joy. I live with Lomri now and enjoy having company, but I dream of a family who will understand me, guide me, and give me time to socialize.
I don’t ask for much…Just someone who will respect and love me. Someone to play with, care for me, and make me feel safe. Until I find my forever home, you can become my virtual parent. It’s enough to know someone cares about me.
With love,
Bertie

Rafaelo – A resilient soul fighting for a better future
Rafaelo was found at the end of December wandering like a ghost in the village of Filoti. A kind girl rescued him and fostered him for about a week before he came to our temporary care.
From the very beginning, we realized something was wrong. He appeared to have a vision disorder, and his behavior was like that of a dog with no life experience. He followed us but never ran to enjoy his freedom. He seemed afraid in a very unusual way and showed almost no emotions.
Two weeks later, we found him nearly unconscious after a severe epileptic seizure, followed by many more the same day. After his first veterinary visit in Naxos and the start of medication, further examination was strongly recommended.
Once treatment began, it was like meeting a completely different dog — active, ears up, making eye contact, finding his voice, and becoming more engaged with the world. As he started stabilizing he also began muzzle and harness training.
In mid-January, Rafaelo traveled to Syros with a volunteer escort to visit a veterinary clinic. He stayed there for two weeks and underwent extensive testing, including an abdominal ultrasound, brain CT scan, blood tests, and was also neutered. The diagnosis suggests a form of encephalitis, likely responsible for his vision problems and epileptic seizures.
Today, Rafaelo is back with us, stable and showing us an even sweeter, more open side of his character. We are by his side, fighting for his better future.
🙏 Please help us cover the significant medical expenses of Rafaelo’s journey — we cannot continue without your support.
Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference in Rafaelo’s life. Thank you for standing with him. ❤️🐾

“70 centimeters of pure cuddle… who has never lived inside a home.”
YURI (02/2017, 35kg, 70cm, Labrador mix, microchip no. 941000021238302) is a white gentle giant with a puppy heart.
He melts into your arms. Leans his whole body against you as if saying:
“I’m here. Hold me.”
And yet… He has never known a sofa. Never fallen asleep in a living room. Never lived inside a house.
He was found as a tiny puppy at night on a main road in Naxos, running terrified between cars. A miracle he survived.
Today he is sensitive, tender, human-centered — needing a calm environment and time to adjust. The passage of time has taken its toll on his health, and that is why our boy needs very expensive and specialized clinical food and supplements. For this reason, the boy’s monthly expenses are quite high, and we need as much support as possible to cope.
He dreams of countryside walks. A garden to run in. A quiet home to finally feel safe. Until his forever home comes, you can become his virtual parent. Be the reason he believes the world can be kind.

❤️ Toby was found in the Sagri area, skin and bones, running alone.
Thankfully, a local person fostered him for 10 days and now he’s a happy, energetic, and playful dog.
He’s a typical pointer with a “big nose”, loves food, toys, and human interaction. At first, he may be cautious, but once he realizes your hands mean no harm, he melts in your arms.
Through a virtual adoption, you can help him live with love, care, and happiness.

Hello…
My name is Lia,.My life changed suddenly when my family was gone.
Together with my brother, Kanelos, we lived in cages in a field — no cuddles, no play, no safety.
At first, I was scared of everything — people, traffic, sudden movements, loud noises. It took time to start trusting. Every gentle touch, every walk on a leash gives me courage. Today I can play with calm, social dogs and I am learning to enjoy life more. Someone to guide me with patience, love, and safety.
I don’t ask for much…Just someone to understand me, love me, and show me that the world can be safe.
Until I find my forever family, you can become my virtual parent.
With love,
Lia

❤️ Galinos was found in May 2020 on Ammitis beach, under a small pile of wood and reeds, paralyzed and extremely thin.
Terribly scared, he would bite anyone who came within half a meter. A volunteer managed to push him with a thick blanket into a transport box.
At the vet, it was revealed that his stomach and intestines were full of sand – he had been surviving by eating whatever he could find.
With love, patience, and care, he recovered, but his fears of human touch remain to this day.
Through a virtual adoption, you can become part of his life, supporting him and giving him safety, care, and love.

Kanelakis – From Chain to Hope
Date of birth: approx. 2015 | Height: 50 cm | Weight: 20 kg | Breed: Mix | Microchip No.: 900219001921657
Kanelakis is a wonderful dog, born in 2015, who spent much of his life tied on a chain. Despite this, he never lost his love for people or for life.
He is a happy, mature dog who loves to sniff, explore, and enjoy his walks on a leash, as well as his quiet moments. He is cooperative, travels comfortably by car, and gets along well with other dogs, especially females. Over time, he becomes more and more relaxed and shows his gentle, affectionate side.
Kanelakis needs people with some experience who can understand his signals and respect his boundaries, offering him safety and trust. He communicates clearly when something makes him uncomfortable — just like any dog who deserves to be heard.
Through virtual adoption, you can become his person from afar. Your support helps cover his food, medical care, and everything he needs to continue living with dignity and proper care.
❤️ Become his virtual parent and give Kanelakis the security he truly deserves.

Poetic / “Letter from Jerry”
Dear human,
I don’t know much about the world outside the shelter.
But I know what safety feels like when you look into my eyes.
I know warmth when you let me lie next to you on the sofa.
As a puppy, I ran terrified in the middle of the road.
Only luck saved me.
I was so small… and so scared.
Today, I am calm and gentle.
I love cuddles, sunlight, nature, life beside humans who understand me.
I don’t ask for much.
A little patience. A little love. A quiet, warm home.
I have hip dysplasia, but it doesn’t stop me.I also had surgery for a twisted stomach and was literally saved at the last minute thanks to the vigilance and self-sacrifice of the volunteers who rushed me to the doctor. Like my brother, I have to eat very expensive, specialized clinical food and take daily supplements so that I can move comfortably and without pain.
Become my virtual parent until I find my forever home.
With love,
Jerry

❤️ Joscha and his siblings were abandoned in 2020 in a remote area of Agiasos, at about 3 months old.
They were all fearful and impossible to catch in the open area, so volunteers had to bring water and food daily until a trap could be set. The effort took several days.
All of his siblings were adopted, but little Joscha was more traumatized and fearful, and his adoption remains extremely difficult.
Despite this, his progress is remarkable: he now trusts touch and affection, and goes on short walks with guidance.
Through a virtual adoption, you can become part of his life and help him continue building trust and love.

Hello…
My name is Kanelos, Lia’s brother.
When we were found, we lived together in cages in a field — no cuddles, no play, no safety.
At first, I was scared of people, cars, loud noises, and sudden movements. Together with Lia, I slowly learned to trust the volunteers. Every gentle touch, every walk on a leash helps me feel safer. Today, I am playful and tender. I love being around calm dogs and learning about the world every day.
I don’t ask for much…Just to feel safe, be loved, and see that the world can be kind.
Until I find my forever family, you can become my virtual parent.
With love,
Kanelos

❤️ Asana was found in Naxos Town in October 2025.
After wandering for days she chose a yard and stayed there for days, only accepting care from one lady. She was very defensive, but with love and patience, our volunteers managed to move her to safety.
It is very difficult for her to trust humans, but once she connects with someone, she is sweet and affectionate.
Asana requires expensive specialized clinical food due to urinary issues, making her care more costly.
Through a virtual adoption, you can help her live safely, with care and love, making every day special.

Meet Gigis – From Chains to Care 💛
Born: approx. 2012 | Mix |
Gigis was only 5–6 years old when a family friend “trained” him with violence. After that, even his owners couldn’t handle him. He was chained to the ground with a 1-meter chain, inside a 1-meter high fenced area with no door, no shade, and surrounded by garbage and his own waste.
A brave volunteer spent days gaining his trust and finally managed to cut the chain and bring him to safety. Gigis was terrified and highly protective, but step by step, he is learning to feel safe again.
Today, he enjoys soft blankets, gentle petting, and is slowly discovering the joy of human companionship. Over the past few months, we’ve been able to take him on walks in our exercise area, and he’s becoming more relaxed, playful, and confident every day.
Through virtual adoption, you can provide Gigis with food, medical care, comfort, and the love he has longed for. Be part of giving him the peaceful, happy life he deserves. 💛

He is ready to find his home and needs patient, loving people — even through virtual adoption — to provide him with food, care, and the love he deserves. Be the person who helps him write a new, joyful chapter in his life. 💛

Laurita wandered for a long time on the streets near Agios Thalelaios, with a chain hanging around her neck — a silent mark of her past.
Until a volunteer, with patience and love, managed to approach her and bring her to the shelter.
Laurita is a senior dog. At first,the scars of abandonment had left behavioral wounds. But with consistency, care, and tenderness, she managed to overcome them.
Today, she is a happy grandma who runs, plays with enthusiasm, and chases treats 😊 When we scratch her above the tail, she takes little steps as if she’s dancing because it tickles her — absolutely adorable and funny!
Laurita doesn’t ask for much. She’s looking for people who will give her safety and become her little family — even through a virtual adoption.
With your virtual adoption, you help provide her with food, medical care, and, most importantly, the dignity she deserves in her golden years. Be the person who will write the most beautiful chapter in her life. 💛

POSEIDON
Born: approx. | Height: cm | Weight: 54 kg | Mix breed | Microchip No.: 939000010711986
A passerby found Poseidon near the airport, dragging his broken chain behind him. He was in a terrible condition: dehydrated, struggling with severe breathing difficulties, and clearly exhausted. His condition was critical. As soon as we were informed, one of our volunteers rushed to the location and immediately took him to the veterinarian. After his examination, it was discovered that he is a senior dog with a serious heart condition. He received all the necessary care to help him recover from exhaustion and stabilize his condition.
He is a gentle giant, weighing 54 kg, and it is truly heartwarming to see how happy he is today. He enjoys the care, cuddles, and love we give him every day. He only knows how to love and be happy! In his own special way, he shows us every day how grateful he is. He receives his daily medication, as well as special veterinary food, due to his heart condition.
If you cannot adopt him, you can become his person from afar. Through virtual adoption, you can help cover the costs of his medication, special food, and veterinary care.
Help us provide him with the care he needs, so Poseidon can continue to live with safety, dignity, and the love he truly deserves. ❤️

Fred had been wandering around Chora for some time. Then we lost track of him until we saw him again, after he had decided to stay outside a house where a female dog was in heat. That’s why, after he came to us we were calling him Amore Mio for a while.
Fred is a clever, lovely boy who is good with people, children, cats and other dogs. He is also sensitive and he doesn’t like being pressured to do something he isn’t comfortable with, or being touched in places where he doesn’t feel safe. Therefore he needs a person who will respect his boundaries, give him time and patiently build a relationship based on trust. With security, understanding and a gentle approach, he will learn that he is safe. 🤍
Would you help us support him and give him the love and care he needs until he finds his forever home? 🏡

A little girl who finally got a second chance 🤍
In July, we were informed about a dog in a village on Naxos, living chained up in a field, with no shade and only a small plastic doghouse for shelter. With the intervention of the police, she was finally brought to us.
Odessa can finally experience what it means to be cared for, protected and loved. She is a lovely girl, a real sweetheart 🥰, happy, full of joy and love for humans. She is perfect on the leash and gets along well with other dogs.
After everything she has been through, she deserves nothing but a beautiful new beginning. Would you like to give her a second chance by offering her a forever home or supporting her through virtual adoption? 🤍
