Meet Boris 💔➡️❤️ Rescued during a neutering project in Athens, Boris had a bullet lodged in his back. Thanks to your support, we covered his surgery to remove both the bullet and damaged teeth. He’s now healing and pain-free. 🙏🐾

A huge thanks to Athina for giving him a second chance! ❤️

In Volos 🇬🇷, local volunteers have just neutered 10 dogs and 50 cats, all thanks to your support! Every single neutering matters. It prevents suffering before it begins and gives strays a better chance at life. ❤️

Meet Lord – our gentle giant, ready for a UK home 🐾

He may weigh 40kg, but he’s pure softness inside. Calm, gentle and loving, Lord was rescued by Ermioni in Karditsa after being abandoned. Now he’s ready for the forever home he deserves.

A message that made us smile ❤️

Our friends at ΖΕΜ sent thanks after receiving new droppers, a cat grabber and vital meds all made possible by your support.

“With GAR, it feels like Christmas every time. You’re always by our side.”

Thank you for helping us keep real rescue work going 🐾💙

Huge thanks to Sofia in Drama and all who never give up on Greece’s strays 🐾

🐾 80 reasons to smile, and maybe a few to meow.

With Vicky in Patras, we’ve supported parasite treatments and the neutering of 40 dogs and 40 cats. That’s 80 lives made safer, and countless more not born to struggle.

Quiet work. Real change. ❤️

🎄 Let’s get Bobby home for Christmas! 🎄

Buddy’s living the dream in Surrey, but his brother Bobby’s still waiting in Greece.
He’s 2, affectionate, playful and ready for family life. Could you give him the home he deserves? 💚

In Filiatra, hundreds of street cats depend on one man’s care. Around 350 roam his colonies, 29 live with special needs.

Thanks to our supporters, 50 have now been sterilised 💛

Neutering doesn’t make headlines, but it changes everything.

Poor Luna 💛

A urethral blockage nearly cost her life this summer. Katerina & Giota from The House of Rescued Paws rushed her to vets in Athens for emergency surgery. Tests found a bacterial infection, but Luna’s recovering well now, thanks to our financial help.

We’ve funded the neutering of 50 cats in Edessa, northern Greece 🐾

A big step in helping local volunteers bring the stray population under control.

Larger dogs are often the hardest to rehome, which makes Lila’s story feel especially good. 💛

She was found living as a stray in Oropos, and after months of waiting, the perfect family came along - 180km away in Stilida.

We helped cover her transport so she could finally start her new life. 🐾

Emma - the smiley girl looking for her forever family!

3yrs old, medium-sized 25kg, healthy, vaccinated, neutered & microchipped. She’s friendly with people & dogs, a little shy at first but soon all cuddles & tail wags.

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 💚

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.” 💛

🌍 World Animal Day in Karditsa 🌍

Huge well done to Ermioni and the volunteers of Diasozo Animal Rescue Team Karditsa for joining the event in Pavsilypou Square. 👏

Between caring for 100+ dogs and daily rescues, they still find time to plant seeds of change for a kinder Greece. 🌱💛

🐾 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. 💙

From heartbreak to hope 💛 Sugar was fighting for her life with parvovirus. Thanks to your support she’s now a happy, bouncy pup 🐾 You made her recovery possible and October’s spay-a-thon, where 200+ dogs will be neutered to break the cycle of suffering.

“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. 💛
