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!
