TAILS FROM GREECE RESCUE

Volunteering in Greece

If you'd like to volunteer a few hours or several days at one of the following locations, the help would be appreciated.  You could walk dogs, groom dogs & cats or just give them some love and attention for a few hours.  Or, if you have past experience in handling dogs in a kennel environment, perhaps you could help out with daily chores for a few days.  Also, those folks who help the street dogs and cats could use an extra pair of hands when making the rounds to check on and feed the strays they care for in their neighbourhood.  Below is only a short list of those helping the strays of Greece.  Or, if you'd like to volunteer to care for the donkeys, on Crete, please let them know. Also, go to my homepage to find links to others helping the animals in Greece; scroll down to the section with links to various organizations helping animals in Greece.
If the only way you can help is with a donation, please make one as these rescue organizations rely solely on funds coming from individuals like yourself.

ATHENS
Nine Lives
Volunteers urgently needed to feed the numerous cat colonies around Athens proper or to take them for vet appointments.  If you can spare a few hours a day for however long you're in Athens, for a week if possible, it would be a huge help.
