Merry Christmas!

We wish all our members, volunteers, supporters, fans and ACT-dog-owners a merry Christmas and a (animal) loving 2016!

Christmas party 2015

Last Saturday we enjoyed our third Christmas party, this time in the beautiful tavern Triantamias in Kalivia. On Friday we already decorated the tavern and brought the prices for the raffle. We were very excited, because this time there should be another surprise. Live music from Giorgos and Dimitris Kalpidis and this was, apart from the beautiful evening, the delicious food, being with nice people and the raffle, another highlight of our Christmas event. We could even welcome some villagers who were attracted by the live music.

We would like to sincerely thank these shops for donating prizes for the raffle:
Taverna Triantamias - Kalivia
Cava Saltaris - Limenaria
Supermarket Saltaris - Limenaria
Petrol station Patiras (Shell) - Kalivia
Gift Shop Aldebaran - Potos
Hair Spa Mary - Potos
Bakery Oganezov - Kalivia
Fish Shop Giorgos Blionis - Limenaria
Supermarket Harbi – Kalivia

We also thank Joop van Egmond for the live music, which he had donated for the evening.

And of course we must not forget Sotiris Berzamanis, the owner of the tavern Triantamias who made us a very good price for the whole evening and we therefore could collect € 191 for the animals.
That's really a nice Christmas gift!

We wish all our friends, acquaintances, families, donors, dogs, cats, helpers, members a wonderful Christmas and a great start of the New Year 2016.
Thank you all very much for your help.

Result donation boxes

Autumn has come to Thassos and all the collection boxes that we put out in the beginning of the season are collected again and the money is counted. We tried some new shops, some of them were very successful and some not. That is the only way to find out where the best places are to collect money for the animals.

We are pleased to tell you that "YOU" donated a wonderful total of € 960.78! Thank you very much!

Again we want to thank all the businesses for having our boxes:

THANK YOU!

What would we do without Claudia and Klaus, our foster family in Germany?

We want to mention here on our website once again Claudia and Klaus, our highly appreciated foster family in Germany.
http://www.wuestenwolf.de/

Since 2004 Klaus helped the animals of Thassos, along with his wife Gabi who sadly died in 2008, and now with his current wife Claudia.
Since 2012 he helps us, ACT Animal Care Thassos.
And although Klaus is not the youngest anymore, he is the strongest and most sincere man who was always there for us if we needed help.

In Germany, we have no other foster families. It seems very difficult to find people who want to foster dogs until they find their forever home.
We have ended our co-operation with Sandra in The Netherlands (Stichting Dierenhulp Europa), and thus we would be hopelessly lost without Claudia and Klaus.

In addition, they (voluntarily) pay all expenses, such as gasoline, parking at the airport, transfers etc. themselves. Apart from all the work that they have at home with the dogs.

What more can we say… just that we are very very grateful to Claudia and Klaus.

We would have enormous problems if we would not have you!

THANKS!!!

Claudia and Klaus

The result of 3 Summer Bazaars

Last year in August we launched our first summer bazaar near the harbor in Limenaria and it was so successful that we had three summer bazaars this year. And again our summer bazaar draw the attention of a lot of people and the animals are lucky that, with your help, we were able to take a little more than 1,000 euro.

We are very grateful that you have visited us at our stands, bought our beautiful goods, donated and gathered information about ACT Animal Care Thassos.
Furthermore, we would like to thank the people who created these beautiful products that we have sold at our bazaar and helped us out with their cars and trailers. And also for helping with the construction of the stands and the donations of the raffle prices.
