Laura (former Lara adopted)

Update: Laura has been adopted in Belgium!!!

Our little Laura goes home.
Laura is a little Greek girl who was struck by a car a few months back.
Mirto Katsikani found her alone on the side of the road, unable to move and called us.
We rushed her to the vet.
Broken spine. Permanent paralyzation from the waist down, incontinence.
We located the owner but he said he could not maintain her so he would have her put down.
We asked him for custody of her and he gave her to us with all the hopes that someone would take her.
And someone did!
Before the crack of dawn, our little girl left for Belgium to live a happy, full life.
Huge thank you s to the team that made this possible.

Laura is a young dog who is paralysed after a car accident. Her family couldn’t keep her and the shelter managed to find two fosters.

Laura, though handicapped, is a little, happy dog. She doesn’t understand what has happened and her spirit is unbroken.

The estimated extra time needed for her is only 30 minutes.

At the bottom of the menue there is a special page “LAURA -The paralysed Dog” which shows how to care for her. Of course, we would help with advice.

Please, give her and other handicapped dogs like her a chance!

Laura in her sports car – don’t think this will slow her down!

The dogs have plenty of space. Employees are very involved with the animals.Very positive experience. Would like to bring a dog.

We adopted a dog when we visited Crete this year. The shelter is clean and the dogs have enough space. It's a non profit rescue organisation so they're thankful for every donation (money, dogfood, paying vet bills/medication...) or helping hands. The employees/volunteers love the dogs and take care very well. They do everything for them. Amazing and heartmelting work - everyday.They also helped us with all the documents, check-ups, vaccinations, organising the flight back home etc. Would always recommend this shelter if you want to adopt a dog.

Disappointed, we applied for help for an animal and were just ignored.

Friendly helpful staff and so many lovely dogs looking for new homes. We were greeted by some of the curious, calm girls of various ages out in the huge central yard getting their exercise. My kids were happily petting them and getting their toes kicked. Lots of opportunies for volunteering if you can't adopt a dog.

This shelter will always have a special place in my heart. We adopted our dog Moon from there in 2020, and he has been the greatest gift in our lives. Most loving dog on earth. He came to Germany from the shelter, and liz was super communicative, answering all of our questions up until the day we picked him up at the airport. Thank you to everyone at this shelter for all of your hard work. We will absolutely adopt another dog from here ❤️ 💙

My wife and I visited the shelter since we own a stray dog from Crete. The people there are doing a wonderful job with very limited ressources. The shelter is in a good stage and we were glad they showed and explained us their work. We were positively surprised how good the dogs look. This is the result of to the great work and all the donations. Thank you!
