PLEASE consider becoming a SPONSOR for one of the dogs at ABIR’S ANIMAL SHELTER in Athens, Greece.

This wonderful woman cares for 70 dogs rescued from the streets of Athens with no finanical support.  YOU can make their lives a little healthier & happier!

Your monthly sponsorship will help provide the dog with nutritious food, veterinary care if needed, any additional supplements they may require & preventative medications.

Sponsorship costs just USD$12 (10€) per month (recurring donation)

Abir’s shelter is home to 70 dogs & 30 cats – all rescued off the streets of Athens. Sadly every animal here has either been abandoned, neglected or abused. 

Until the covid19 crisis, Abir had a well paid job and supported the shelter herself. Sadly now she has been left with no job & 100 hungry animals to feed. We are therefore trying everything we can to get Abir’s animals some help on an ongoing basis. Sponsoring one of Abir’s dogs is a great way that YOU CAN HELP! We ask only USD$12 (10 euro) per month and we hope to get at least 3 sponsors for each dog. 

We can’t stress enough the urgency to find sponsors for these dogs & help Abir to feed the animals who depend on her.

Meet some of the beautiful dogs at the Abir’s Shelter looking for sponsors!

ELENI…

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19660,19658,19659,19661″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Eleni... spent  8 years of her life chained to a tree! 

Eleni & another dog were found chained to a tree on a bare patch of dirt, outside a property in Athens, Greece. They had no shelter from heat or rain. Nothing! Both dogs had been continuiously chained to the tree since they were pups, and they were now approx 8 years old!

Abir found the dogs in this horrible environment & informed the local municipality, who thankfully handed them over to her care.

Abir immediately got both dogs sterilized, but sadly the other dog died unexpectedly at the vets. So now there was just Eleni & because she had been CHAINED TO A TREE HER ENTIRE LIFE, Abir wanted her to be free to roam. So Abir decided to allow Eleni to roam in the safe area outside her house. But as is common in Greece, neighbours started to complain & threatened to poison Eleni.

So there was no choice but to move Eleni to Abir’s shelter, so that she could be safe & thats where she lives today.

Until then we would love to find 3 sponsors for Eleni to provide her with food and support each month. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR ELENI.

MAX…

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19438,19440,19439,19437″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Max... and his brother Rex,were 2 puppies with the same sad fate as 90% of stray Greek puppies

at 4 weeks old they were thrown in the rubbish. Sick, malnourished & near death, they were rescued by Abir.

Now after 5 years, they survived with a lot of loving care. Max is now an 18kg dog with a beautiful loving soul. He would love nothing more than a comfy bed & a family who cares about him. But until that day hopefully arrives, Max needs 3 sponsors to feed & support him whilst at the shelter. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR MAX

BEGY…   

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19447,19446,19445,19444″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Begy … was found with  her brother Elito living around a rubbish bin.

Abir received a call from a stranger telling her to go check in the town of Lavrio where there were two  6 month old puppies in desperate need of help. Abir went quickly to find them both living off bin scraps & terrified. They were about 6 months old.

Because Begy was not exposed to humans in the first few weeks/months of life, sadly she is still not trusting of people. She’s had such an horrific start to her life, but at least now she is safe and not on the streets. Begy will need a special home with very patient people for her to become relaxed around humans.  She loves her food very much & deserves a family of her own. Until then we would love to find 3 sponsors for Begy to provide her with food and support each month. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR BEGY

ELITO…

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19451,19453,19450,19452″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Elito... arrived at the shelter with his sister Begy, after being found living off a rubbish bin in the streets of Lavrio.

Abir received a call from a stranger telling her to go check in the town of Lavrio where there were two  6 month old puppies in desperate need of help. Abir went quickly to find them both living off bin scraps & terrified. They were about 6 months old.

Because both puppies were not exposed to humans in the first few weeks/months of life, sadly Elito still has trouble trusting people. Elito is more confident with people than his sister, and with more human interaction we hope he’ll continue to impove. Elito would love a loving home so he can learn to trust people even more. .  He loves his food very much & deserves a family of his own. Until then we would love to find 3 sponsors for Elito to provide him with food and support each month. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR ELITO.

MELENIA

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19457,19458,19456,19455″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Melenia …. is always smiling at people! She’s a quiet, beautiful soul.

She was found as a tiny puppy  with her brothers at the rubbish dump, where local authorities wanted to take them & euthenise them! Thankfully a local person contacted Abir and she rushed to save them before they their lives were abruptly ended. Abir raised Melenia and her brothers with bottled milk, and it took a lot of time and effort to save puppies so young without their mother. But thankfully they all suvived. Only one of the puppies was adopted and the rest including Melenia remain at the shelter 5 years later.

Melenia would love a family & she’d make the perfect companion.

Until then we would love to find 3 sponsors for Melenia to provide her with food and support each month. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR MELENIA.

GENI…

[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 19464,19463,19465,19462″ width=”500″ height=”400″ title=”never”]

Geni...used to live outside the Electricity Company building in Lavrio, Greece. An Albanian worker there used to feed her, but she wasn’t sterlized & soon gave birth to unwanted puppies.

As is often the cases, the puppies vanished. Abir approached the worker to get her sterlized, but he refused. So Abir decided she must take this dog without him knowing, so that she could be sterlized and have a better life at the shelter.

Geni is a little timid, but quiet and friendly with other animals, humans & children. She would greatly benefit from being in a home where she can relax and forget about her fears.

Until then we would love to find 3 sponsors for Geni to provide her with food and support each month. Please consider being a MONTHLY SPONSOR FOR GENI.
