In January 2014 we took a Golden Retriever mix puppy from a man in Limenas. He didn't want the little one, but the positive side is that we convinced him to have the mother neutered and he has already made an appointment with the vet.
In February 2014 she travelled to Holland and one week later she found a loving family, who named her Saar.

ROXY
In the beginning of 2014 Roxy was spotted in the garden of an empty house in Potos where a volunteer found her. As always we asked around but no one was missing her, so we took her in. She looked like a miniature labrador and was only about 2 months old.
She was lucky to find a flight partner to Düsseldorf in March already and from there she was picked up by a Dutch lady to travel to her foster home in Holland.
But... the lady fell immediately in love with the little girl and wanted to keep her!

PETRA, PAUL AND PETER
In December 2014 they were found near the main road in Limenaria. These small type doggies look a bit like miniature pinschers and are very cute. They were about 3 months old and we treated and vaccinated them.

In February 2014 Paul and Petra travelled with one of our members to Holland where their new owners were already waiting for them.
Poor Peter had to wait because he needed surgeory on his front paw.

OLIVIA AND OSCAR
Oscar could stay on the island! During his illness his foster grew so close to him, that he didn't want to let him go anymore.
These two were running free on the streets of Potos in November 2013. Someone informed the vet in Limenaria, who asked us if ACT had room for them. We were lucky to find a man in Agios Georgios willing to foster them for a while. Unfortunately Oscar got seriously ill, but thanks to the good care of the vet and the foster he fully recovered.

Olivia went to Holland in January 2014. She had to wait a few weeks, but finally found the right family in February.

NED, NIMBUS, NIPPER, NETTLE, NILS, NODDY AND NASH
In November 2013 seven puppies were found in Kalivia next to their dead mother. They were only 2 weeks old... A young lady took them in and after a while they were handed over to ACT. They were devided over 2 foster families on the island and they all grew up as happy little chaps.

Six of the puppies left in January and February 2014. They flew to Düsseldorf and from there had to travel to Holland. They all arrived safely and found their forever homes in a short time.
What happend to the 7th puppy? The foster family on Thassos fell in love with the only girl of the litter and wanted to keep her. So Nettle didn't have to travel, she just stayed where she was.
Alba was roaming the streets in October 2012 and spotted in Potos, Limenaria and finally Kalivia where she was taken home by one of the volunteers. She was covered with fleas and obviously had a skin problem which turned out to be mange. She was treated for all that and later she was sterilized. Alba is a very friendly and playful girl of nearly 2 years old. Unfortunately somebody found it necessary to cut her ears, but she still is a beauty.
Because of her skin problem she had to wait a long time to travel. But after a year she flew to Germany and in december 2013 she moved to her loving family.

LAYLA
In September 2013 Layla roamed the streets around the market in Prinos, when English tourists saw her and had a 2nd look because her coat was so special. As it turned out, the poor thing was totally matted and could hardly walk. She wore a collar, so they asked around who the owner was. When that was not to find out, they decided to take her home and contacted ACT. Since we had no place to foster the dog at that moment, the English took her for a while and started to cut off the lumps of matted hair. It was a bag full of more than a kilo! After a wash she looked a lot better and Layla, as she was called, turned out to be a nice, sweet and even house trained dog. Not much later there was a possibility on a flight to Amsterdam.

KELLY, KATIE, KYRA, KALI AND KIWI
In July 2013 we were contacted by a retired shoemaker here on Thassos. He had a mother dog (called Zina) and one of her puppies, both of which he wanted to keep. He had already sent her 3 other puppies to a lady in Kalivia in the hopes that she could care for them and find them new homes. However, it didn't work out quite like that. In the end, the shoemaker could not cope with Zina and her baby, and the lady in Kalivia had financial problems in looking after so many unwanted dogs. So, ACT stepped in and took Zina (whom the shoemaker had sterilised!), her four puppies, and another puppy from the lady in Kalivia. |

Katie and Kelly left together in September 2013 to Holland. Kelly was picked up from the airport by her new owner and Katie found a new home 2 weeks later.
Also Kiwi went to Holland in September and has now a new family with a doggie friend.
Kyra left the end of September to Holland and 4 weeks later moved to her forever home where she has a look-a-like friend.
Last but not least Kali left us in October to go to Holland and in 2 weeks she was so lucky to find a loving family. (no picture yet)

JASPER
In June 2013 a Dutch couple saw this dog roaming the streets of Skala Potamia for some days and at night he was around the restaurants where they chased him away. Even some tourists from east Europe were beating him with a stick. ACT was called and the Dutch people managed to catch the dog and brought it to Limenaria. We phoned the vet in Potamia, but no such dog was missing so we assume he was dumped there.
Jasper went to Klaus on 4-8-2013 and 26-9 he has found his forever home.
He had to wait a while for the right match, but now he has a famous owner as well: a well known Dutch author who lives partly in the Eifel in Germany. Everything we ever wished for Jasper.

DINA
Dina, the mother of Flora, Frida and Freddy (see below 05-2013) also found a home in Germany on 29-7-2013. Her new family loves her very very much.

HOLLY, HILDA AND HENRY
On 4-5-2013 5 tiny little puppies were found by 2 girls in Kalivia. They were left next to a garbage bin in a box with a blanket. At least they were not thrown away in a plastic bag, but still… May be it was somebody who couldn't keep them but at the same time felt sorry for them? Unfortunately 2 of them died shortly after that, but the 3 others grew up to be fine little dogs. |

Holly and Hilda flew on 13-7-2013 to Germany. A friendly couple wanted to adopt one of them, but couldn't decide if it would be Holly of Hilda. So... they took both of them!
Henry went to Holland on 16-7-2013 where Sandra handed him over to his new family on 9-8-2013.

INDIA
Mid June 2013 a little female dog was found abandoned on the road in Theologos. All day in the burning sun she was waiting there for her family to pick her up again. Some Greek people felt sorry for her and gave her water and food. After 3 days one of our volunteers took her in. Apparently she was dumped, nobody has come to pick her up…
India could fly soon to Klaus in Germany and found a new home within 2 days!
_________________________________________________________________________________GRANNY
Granny was found in July 2012 near Kalivia when she just had her puppies. The puppies all found a nice loving home and poor Granny had to stay on Thassos. Of course she was sterilised after the puppies had left. 
A family in The Netherlands saw Granny on the Adoption Site of Dierenhulp zonder Grenzen (Animal Help without Borders) and felt so sorry for her that they decided to take her.
In July 2013 she flew to Holland to move to her forever home and enjoy the rest of her life.
RUBY
Ruby was roaming the streets until the end of September 2012 when a nice lady in Limenaria took her in. However Ruby was very timid and it took 3 weeks of feeding her daily until she could be petted. Slowly she gained more confidence until she was finally able to join the other dogs of the family on their daily walk.
Ruby was probably born at the end of 2011. She is sterilized and of course vaccinated. She is a medium to large dog with a rough brown/black/grey coat. She has a gentle nature, walks well on the lead and loves to play with other dogs.
Ruby went to Germany on 20-6-2013 and already on 22-6 she found her forever family.
Good luck sweetie!

GIANT, GUS, GIZMO AND GOLDIE
In April 2013 a boy from Kalivia found 4 very little hunting mix puppies in the village at the side of the road. They were all male, so we assume that they were dumped because some hunters think that females are better hunting dogs. They were only 8 weeks old and would have been run over by a car if they weren't found.
They were extra lucky, because we still had one foster family available.

In May 2013 they all flew to Germany and Klaus found them loving families.

FRIDA AND FLORA
A small dog was walking around in Limenas in December 2012. A nice lady and her family felt sorry for her and took care of the dog by feeding her. In January they found out that she was pregnant and on 13 January 2013 she gave birth to 3 puppies. It was winter and quite cold, so the family cut half of the bush where she hid her babies and put them and the mother in their storage place.
After 3 months the puppies were bigger and of course ate more and the family had to conclude that it was becoming too expensive and too much work. They called ACT to ask if we could help. Luckily we had room so we went to Limenas to pick the mother and puppies up. But after 2 days the phone rang again: they had fallen so in love with the black boy (we called him Freddy), that they asked if they could please have him back. And so we said ‘of course‘ being sure that the little fellow would have a good home there.
Meanwhile all four were vaccinated and the mother dog will be sterilized soon.
The little sisters Frida (brown) and Flora (white) will go to Klaus in Germany on the 11th of May, where surely they will find a forever home soon.

ELENI
Eleni was found at the end of March 2013 wandering near the village of Kalivia. We asked around, but nobody was missing her. She was lucky to find a flight partner a month later end flew to Holland. After a while in a foster home of Animal Help without Borders (Dierenhulp zonder Grenzen) she found her forever home.
We were sad to hear that one of her front legs is growing faster than the others and that she has a heart problem. Fortunately her new family doesn't mind and love her even more.
Update from her new family 21-2-2014: her leg is okay and her heart problem doesn't bother her.

DAPHNE, DIGBY, DEMPSEY AND DARBY
In January 2013 these four puppies were left behind in an olive grove; a plastic bag in which they were probably dumped was lying beside them. Luckily they were found by a Greek man. He contacted the vet, who asked if ACT could possibly foster them.

CHRISTY
She was found in December 2012 beside the road in the bushes near the Palataki in Limenaria, not even 2 weeks old and already very cold. But Christy was strong and became a big girl. In March 2013 she found a new home in Germany where she has a very BIG friend. |
