Two rescued Greek stray puppies looking for loving homes

Hi,


During my holiday in Greece this year, as I was walking through a country road near Athens,these two beautiful pups jumped out from the fields howling in desperation and craving love, help and attention.

Abandoned in the middle of nowhere. I had walked the same road another 5 times the previous couple of days, so these pups had clearly been abandoned that day and left to die from starvation, dehydration or be killed by speeding cars.


I could never leave them there, and there is a country road with speeding cars that passes by the fields, and took them home with me, where they are kindly being fostered by a lady.

However, she cannot look after them for much longer, and we are desperately looking for serious people who can offer loving homes for these two beautiful doggies here in the UK, as nothing has been found in Greece.


It would be amazing if they could be adopted together, because they are inseparable, and never leave each other's side. But even if they have to go to separate homes we have to look at the big picture overall.


The brown and white pup is a girl and the black pup is a boy, and should become medium sized dogs.


They will need to be microchipped, vaccinated and have their passports made. I'm willing to contribute to the costs of those, but am also on a limited budget. I am making inquiries to find the most affordable option for these.


Their transport from Athens, Greece--> UK needs to be covered by the new owners, but am in contact with a lady, Elaine Karmasyn,who helps many Greek strays and the cost of travel is very reasonable.

It will be 80 Euros per dog from Athens-> Brussels and then Pet passport control in France is ?18 per dog.

I would also please ask for a discretionary donation towards the lady's extra costs, such as petrol during car transport from Brussels to UK and her costs to get to the UK. She runs the foundation Greek Strays and does a lot of fantastic work.


Thanks very much,


Anelia Samaropoulos

There seems to be a big problem for strays in Greece.


I worked a summer season many years ago in Corfu and children tried to flog stray pups to tourists (and workers) all the time. Unfortunately, without all the right jabs etc. it's a non-starter.


It sounds like the lady you're talking about is doing a fine job though :)

Nope, someone trying to find a home for two stray puppies is a long way away from what I find distasteful


Good luck anelia, you really are a kind soul for helping these little ones

I don't think it's distasteful in anyway. I think what you've done is highly commendable and if I had the money / space / time etc etc I'd help out. My only concern is we have enough shelters full of unwanted dogs here of our own. What Greece (and other countries for whom these charities work tirelessly and with little money) is funding for education and vaccinations to bring the doggie population down. Another charity is K-9 Angels but I know they are stretched, too.


That said, I do hope they find a loving home very soon :) Keep us updated.

I agree with Take Note. We have - very sadly - any number of neglected, unwanted, abused pets who are much more cheaply and with less impact on CO2 levels housed here. Tackling the problem in Greece and other places with education, neutering etc would be a better way of going about things, though I understand why people want to help in any way they can.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
