We are Evi and Panos, a couple who have taken care of strays in Athens and now Samos.

Greetings from Urho, Uki.. The Brave.

As you can see, he is doing pretty well. He is a very happy, pain-free puppy, but he has some challenges ahead of him.

The x-rays show that the front leg has been broken and healed into this wrong position. As he is so very young, it's anyones guess if this happened during birth, or however.

Doesn't change the fact that he was dumped due to this injury.

We are going to look into finding a vet who specializes in these type of cases, either in Athens or possibly in Chios.

We have ordered special dry food and tin food for him.

If you want to donate to his care, please remark: URHO

PayPal is preferred currently but bank is ofcourse also a solid option.

So starts the new year..

We were contacted by our friend and avid animal lover Nova, about an apparently injured puppy who was taken care of by a lady who could not keep him in her house due to the owner not wanting pets.
We thank her for keeping the puppy safe these few days, as he would not survived alone.

The puppy is very thin, infested with fleas and worms. We gave treatment for these issues, so he will soon be rid of them.

But the main issue is his front legs. It looks like he has been dumped because the legs are deformed, probably since birth.

We are taking him to our vet next week, so we will be much wiser about his condition.

He is very brave and already playing with toys and asking for anyone to play with him.

We will post some videos of him soon so you get a better view of him and his issues.

If you want to help with his costs, please use mai ly PayPal, but bank is ok too. Please refer to "puppy care"

Happy last day of 2024!!

Greetings from the sanctuary, the last day of the year is beautiful and sunny, which feels nice after a very difficult and challenging year, which ended sadly when we had to say goodbye to our beloved TioPepe.

We know that next year will be challenging to rehome these rascals, as there are no direct flights to Finland, but we try to stay positive.. They deserve a loving home, so we won't give up.

We are starting the new year with 2 empty food containers, and it's always difficult this time of year to raise funds. We ask for help, if you can.

We wish you a wonderful last day of the year.. and see you 2025!!

If you want and can support with donations for food, please use the below. Mainly, PayPal, if possible, the expenses are lower. But anyway is a good way!

💔💔💔💔 In Memoriam 💔💔💔💔
TIO-PEPE

The little old boy grew his wings today.. and flew away in his sleep, peacefully.

Our hearts are in pieces.. even though we knew this day was coming.

We were allowed to love him for 15 of his 18 or so years.. and we are eternally grateful for the memories we made.

He was and is a special boy.. his pawprints weigh heavy in our hearts.

The last weeks he became more disoriented due to his dementia and clearly wanted just to be close to us, which made him feel safe and comfortable.

We have great memories from this, his last summer, as he loved to swim in the pool and always after that he felt so playful.. so happy.

Now he sleeps the peaceful eternal sleep, and one day the memories he share of him will be a comfort.. now we just have to learn to live without his big presence..

Tio-Pepe..
We love you
We miss you
You are forever etched in our hearts 💔♥️💔

Good night little one.. until we see eachother again

Greetings!

We received our food order, and now we have food for a couple of weeks for the dogs, we will need to order more for the cats.

Most of the pictures are about Wh**ey. She has become more brave and spends time in the livingroom with her younglings. She is not afraid of the other cats, with the dogs she is careful but not really afraid.
You can see in the pictures her eyes, if you zoom, and understand her condition, being an albino. Her younglings are almost her size now. The more time she spends in the livingroom and interacts with us and the other animals, the more we see her disabilities.

In the pics you can see the two old armchairs Peppe fixed for the dogs, during the night they have blankets on them and they can keep nice and warm. Ofcourse not everyone fits but that's why we have vetbeds and blankets on the floor as well.

We want to thank everyone who has donated for the expenses, and we hope we can get some more support. It's going to be a long winter, and more good quality food is needed.
A special shout out to Basso's Rescue Mission who is doing an amazing job supporting small shelters and sanctuaries, helping dogs and cats to fins homes and be cared for.

If local friends and businesses have extra blankets and big towels you don't need, we are happy to take them off your hands!

Greetings from the wintery Samos!!

It has been a while from our last post, so a summary is needed:

2 of Wh**eys younglings have been sterilized, the boys. The girls will be next, during December.

Wh**ey herself is becoming braver and is joining us in the livingroom a couple of times. Due to her being an albino, her vision is very poor, and she really seems to see approx. Half a meter distance properly. She will also be sterilized within the next couple of weeks.

Urte was here, and we were lucky to have her at the sanctuary, helping out, and of course, the animals loved every minute of her visits.
Marret is on Samos as she volunteered for the sterilizing campaign for 2 weeks, super girl!

Rain and thunderstorms have arrived, so officially, it is winter here. This meant we had to do a lot of work on the house to ensure rain stays out and doesn't come in.

Apologies for the quiet time. The days just seem to fly by when we have our normal work, the animals to care for, and then need to also do the preparations for winter.. sometimes it seems that there are not enough hours in the day.

Now that the winter preparations are done, we will be focusing more on posts as well, to keep everyone updated.

Otherwise everything is OK for now, we will deworm all the dogs and cats next week.

Our only problem is, food.
We are down to 2 sacks of dogfood and 1 sack of cat food.

Currently we prefer donations via PayPal, but ofcourse bank is a way to donate as well:

💔💔 In Memoriam 💔💔

Kuisku, aka Whisper..the beautiful granny cat is gone.

Time catched up with her and she drifted away.

She was a wonderful granny cat and we were lucky to have her for eight years.
She was found with a severe injury to her front leg and it had to be amputates.. but it never bothered her, she learned to live and thrive as a tripod.

Her name was Kuisku because her voice was so soft, barely a whisper.

Good night my love 💔♥️💔

A big life change for two rascals as they flew to their new home in Finland!
Thank you Riina and Andy for falling in love with them and Jemina and her mom helping to take them home.

A huge big thank you also to Tarja, who came with her brother in law to see the animals and brought treats and toys for all to enjoy. This trip had a special meaning for Tarja and her brother in law and we are very honored we got to meet them and share a moment in time together.

Our dear friend Roger has also come to Samos for short holiday and we were very happy to spend time with him today. Roger and Karin are friends and supportors for many years ❤️

As two siblings traveled to their new lives, the other four also took some new steps in theirs and have started to get to know the rest of the pack of dogs and cats. Wh**ey is overlooking and doesn't feel comfortable yet to come to the livingroom but the younglings are braver.

As they visited the vet and everyone was deemed healthy and vaccinated, they also have names now.
Double Trouble and Rutu are in Finland

Täplä aka Spot is fully white with a small barely visible spot of gray on the left side of the head

Felina is white and grey

Riiwiö aka Rascal is the most independent and fully white white a tiny grey spot on the right side of her head

Lumikko aka Weasel is fully white

These are the main news of the week. Here are some pics of the first time free (under our watchful eyes ofcourse) to come in the livingroom. Riiwiö ofcourse showed Ässä that she is not taking any crap from anyone 😂🙈

Well it has been a week, one more day to go.

Tuesday our former residents Vote and Hessu aka Pedro flew to Finland where they have a entirely new lovely life waiting for them. Those two have special pawprints in our hearts ❤️

We also got food delivered so the dogs will have food for a while, atleast until next month. Cat litter as well.
We are waiting for the kitten food delivery, hopefully tomorrow it will be here.

Today was a special day for Wh**ey, because she spent a couple of hours alone without her babies. She called them a couple of times but not too stressed.

She was happy to see them when they returned, and we could see she trusts us as she didn't mind ua picking them up and putting in the kennels.

And the reason was ofcourse that they had a checkup with Antonis our vet, and their vaccinations. All are very healthy, clean, happy little rascals.

We hope you enjoy the pictures!

It has been a week.. emotional for sure.

It was time to say goodbye to Tom and Livia, as they finally flew to their forever homes ❤️
We are so truly happy for both of them, but it is emotional for us when they are such big characters and have been with us for several years as members of family.

Thank you Tarja and Laura, for opening your hearts and homes for these two beautiful souls ❤️

And Thank you, Heli, for helping get them home!

Thank you Mirva and Karin for the food donation!

A big thank you who donated 400 euros for the kittens!

Thank you everyone who have donated for the costs for September! We are still short about 850, so every amount is welcomed, streams make a river!

We have been a bit quiet, it was first week of work for me after a longer sick leave and it took it's toll for sure, as additional to work, we do have the animals to care for.

Today it was time to trim Kurttu and TioPepe, you can see the difference in the pictures.

We promise to update more pictures during the week!

Our Story

This our site. Originally this page was only in Finnish, as we are a Finnish couple. But because so many people from all around the world have found their way to this page, we now continue in English. But: Jos kukaan kaipaa tietoa suomeksi, laittaa vaan viestia rohkeasti tulemaan ;) We are a couple from Finland and live in Samos, Greece. We have been here since 2009. 2018 was a remarkable year for us, because we met a wonderful couple; Evi and Panos. They share our love for the strays, and the want and need to care for them. We all have our own individual strengths and together we do all we can, for the best of the strays here in our area. Together, we are stronger and able to help more and more animals to find their forever homes and leave the street-life. Our friend Urte is a supportive member of our team, she lives in Germany but spends a lot of time here as well. She puts us on the map in many ways, helps our voices for the animals to be heard. She has endless love for all animals. One of our main goals is to give new lives to the strays, to find them loving homes. But before that, we take care of them here. We nurture them, sterilize them, socialize them.. and do all we can to ensure a great future for them. We are taking cares of all strays from tortoises to donkeys and horses and everything in between. We work together with the local vets Antonis and Natalia, who are extremely dedicated to their work. On this page, we will post pictures of our volunteer work with the animals. There will be stories of them.. some sad.. mostly happy. We will also ask for donations, all kinds: food, medicine, material etc. Because we can't do it all alone.. there are so many that need help. A big shout out to Argos Animal Rescue in Finland and Djuren pa Samos in Sweden, who support us as best they can. Without the help from other organizations, we can not care for the many animals that need help.
