Furever Happy Village A small shelter for stray animals who need a bit extra, on Crete, Greece.

Good afternoon my Doggie Besties πŸ’œπŸΎ

This video might be a bit shocking to a few or many, but I want to show you what rescue people are suffering from, from day to day.

New puppies were dumped, and one was not OK, looked like paralysed. He was dying.

This is what it looks like when a puppy is dying.

To see this month after month almost, does something with you. It never gets easier and that is why I'm having a really hard time, especially because I'm here all alone. It hurts, it devastates, it makes you go numb.

I held the little boy till he slept forever. His teeth barely came out, his body hardly developed yet. Making dying puppy sounds, the sound I have heard one time too many.

R. I. P. Little boy.

Running a shelter in Greece is mostly possible because of you. And we can't thank you enough.

Donations are so important as we don't get support from the government or municipality.

We don't like to beg but as long as the government and municipalities don't handle the stray problem as they should and by law, we will always have to ask for help.

Good evening my Doggie Besties πŸ’œπŸΎ

Sorry for not posting for a while but things were extremely turbulent, as well as private and shelter wise.

Im climbing out of that dark hole, but being kicked back constantly don't make things easier. But I'll try.

Here I'm feeling happy with Sammy. Sammy is Pixies brother and he is the biggest hug giver ever. I need hugs, from dogs though...

Sammy is good fun, listens well and just one happy boy, that really feels human emotions. Sammy is up for adoption. Only one year young!! Medium sized!!

For more info abojt Sammy, please send me a pm.

I'd like to thank everyone for their donations through this way too.

We are always in need of donations because of food, vet costs etc. For donations towards the shelter, please use one of the options below πŸ‘‡ πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Thank you all!!

Hello my Doggie Besties πŸ’œπŸΎ

Im doing my best to continue, trying to make myself happy by eating ice-cream, going to the beach and so on.

But the death of Puck and her wounds are too traumatic. I had nightmares last night, fever, hyperventilation and I keep on seeing it.

If you don't want to read it stop here, because I am going to describe the wounds. Just so you understand why I am how I am right now.

She laid down on her right side. I picked her up like that. At home I checked her injuries, I saw a wound near her heart, and on her back, going towards her right side.

I did not want to move her on her left side as I was too afraid the injury would be big and opening more if I would turn her. Call it instinct, experience, I don't know.

We went to the vet and ofcourse he had to move her to see the injury, and we both were left in complete shock.

Imagine me being in shock who has seen a lot, but even a vet who has seen a lot being in shock too.

From a little lower of her neck towards her tail, on her spine, her whole skin was ripped open like a zipper. We both could look into her body like a bag, seeing her ribs and her whole inside.

Most likely the wound at her heart side was where one dog was holding her and another dog at the other side ripping her literally apart.

I am going trough this vision multiple times a day and it is absolutely destroying me.

I described the situation to my vet with the dogs outside of my shelter and he could only say that if more dogs are being 'produced' from these dogs, most likely more aggressive dogs will be created as the puppies see the behaviour of their mother and siblings and will grow worse.

One of the females again just gave birth and that makes the total of puppies being born from those dogs since I'm there over 60.

Upon passing my shelter, they were called concerning a black dog of the bastard down my street, dimos police asked about that dog, had the audacity to ask if I have a permit, moved to where the black dog was seen and did nothing, nada, niente, rien.

I am so sorry Puck, never again your little Puckepootjes.

What a loss in a terrible way.

Hello my Doggie Besties πŸ’œπŸΎ

Im not so ok, getting flashbacks of Pucks wounds and the thought of what has happened to her is haunting me.

I was hyperventilating earlier and a bit feverish, it's just all too much. I took off from work to sleep because rest is what i need.

I'm so sorry I have to upset you all with these kind of stories, instead of happy ones, but it seems like if I just start to be happy, s**t hits the fan again and worse.

Therefore I really need help in replacing dogs, in homes, fosters etc, it is simply not possible to do so many dogs on my own and it also never was my intention to have so many, but the dumping started as soon as I came here and never stopped. I just wanted a small shelter for the very needy ones. The ones like Thalia, the ones like Puck with conditions that can't be cured.

Tsar has escaped again, yesterday i fixed the hole, just now while I was sleeping he did it again. Most likely the stray girls are in heat and he's chasing them.

I'm tired of this. Any effort we make is not helping. Either they escape by digging or by destroying the fence, even the 'roof' fence they destroy to climb out from the top of their houses, make a hole in the roof and climb through it.

To be honest, I'm ready to give up.

And with that, Capones heart stoppen beating  in my arms. Capone became 12 years old with heart issues. Rip Capone, your...

And with that, Capones heart stoppen beating in my arms.

Capone became 12 years old with heart issues.
Rip Capone, your brother will not cope, but I'll be there for him

Seeing such awful wounds is pure trauma. Trauma needs time to heal. I don't have time to heal. I'm ready to explode.

20/06/2025

Im tired

Pucks wounds were so bad, I was afraid to turn her but at the vet we managed, just a bit.

The bite wounds on her back were so bad, we could literally see her bones. She was not able to move and upon doing some tests, her back legs did not respond, which simply means they either bit through all the nerves or her spine as the dogs are big and she is only tiny.

Surgery at this point would not help, but also her heart could not carry it.

I'm glad I found her and could hug her until she died.

I kept you safe for so long, so nothing would happen to your heart and then ironicall stray dogs killed you.

I'm more than devastated and I'm really thinking to go to dimos to show them.

20/06/2025

I'm thinking to go to dimos, show them Puck and demand action against those dogs and their owners

20/06/2025

Pucks wounds were so bad, I had to let her go. More details later, I'm in pieces.

Good morning my Doggie Besties πŸ’œπŸΎ,

Well, not a good one.

Wordt can't describe what a night i had... I came home after work, to find out Tsar and Puck had escaped. Not only from the enclosure, also from the land.

Tsar is streetwise, Puck is not, plus she has a huge heart problem.

Tsar came back, Puck did not, I searched 2 hours in the dark. Eventually I gave up, tried to sleep, knowing I would find her somewhere deceased.

I woke upfrom straydogs barking. I ran, I shouted and I found Puck, in a horrible state. Cold, rigid, barely breathing. I warmed her up first and when daylight came, i checked her wounds.

They are horrible as you csn see in the video. How she is still alive with her heart condition, only God knows.

At this point it is still 4 hours away before I can rush to a vet. Even then the stress on her heart might be too much.

I don't want this anymore. I want to give up.

I need urgent funding for Pucks treatment now.

Please help, I'm desperate.

I can't even cry anymore, I'm scaring myself...
