Souda Shelter is home to over 90 abandoned puppies and dogs. Ready to make a difference?

Adopt or donate today and give these animals the love and care they deserve! Located near Chania, Crete, we provide care for abandoned and stray animals, with your support.

Soon the winter will start. Did you know that Crete winters are cold and very wet?

We love to have visitors. Please, make appointments! It will usually be in the late morning hours.

Our main goal is to prioritize the animals’ mental and physical well being allowing us to have top rated animals for adoption.
