The regions where we have feet on the ground:
Aegina: April 2017 - present
We are working hand in hand with the municipality of Aegina, and Ms Sofia Hatzina, Director of Public Health, the police, the local veterinarians and the local shelter on eradicating the problem of stray dogs through public policy initiatives. Aegina has become A MODEL ISLAND and we are working towards making Aegina the first island in Greece to have ZERO STRAY DOGS so that the model can be rolled out across Greece.
Marathon: December 2020 - present
After our success in Aegina, we started rolling out our zero stray model in Marathon, Ms Eleftheria Hatzigarvriil and key stakeholders in Marathon, to introduce the success of Aegina of bringing down the number of abandoned dogs to a level that can be managed by the local animal welfare and municipality.
Santorini: November 2020 - present
Santorini is the third municipality that we started providing guidance. Unlike Aegina/ Marathon, we never funded microchip, spay and neuter programs, but are available to the municipality for advise.
Mykonos: November 2015 - January 3rd 2017
During the end of 2015 and throughout 2016, we supported a local hotel owner in her efforts to build and operate a private rescue center in Tigani, Mykonos to house the dogs that had previously been under her care. We are very proud that our support enabled the transformation of the lives of these 45 dogs from a condition that had caused the justified negative reaction of local animal lovers, as well as the state vet, into a new life without chains, with food and clean water, no fear of being attacked or killed by other dogs. After our success in transforming the canine lives of 45 dogs in Mykonos and helping to build a local shelter, including adoptions of 5 dogs in the US and Germany, we left Mykonos in early January of 2017 to focus on wider public policy initiatives to ensure we combat the root-causes, which is irresponsible dog ownership, abandonment and overpopulation.
