Because my inspirational video
From
Service dog to SURFice dog went viral on YouTube with over 4 million views, I wanted to use my new found prominence to help others.
So, I created this page to help causes/rescues. This page is meant as a resource for
human causes and charities, animal causes like service dogs or K9 cancer,
and animal welfare organizations, and dog rescues. It's a way to raise
awareness through their links and bios. From time to time, I'll post
this page on my
Facebook Page, asking people to share the
link so others can learn of these causes too. It'll also
automatically post to my
Twitter page, and can be
re-tweeted, gaining even more exposure.If you haven't joined my page(s)
yet, please do!
Please click the links of the causes below to learn more
about them, see their calendar of events, visit their websites, and join their Facebook pages.

ALTERNATING HEMIPLEGIA OF CHILDHOOD FOUNDATION

@AHCKIDS YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/AHCPresident?feature=mhee About/Mission:
Our mission is to find the cause(s) of AHC, develop effective treatments and
ultimately find a cure, while providing support to the families and children
with AHC by funding research to accomplish these goals. Secondarily, we
strive to promote proper diagnosis, educate health care professionals, the
public and related organizations, encourage the worldwide exchange of
information and advance the development of an international database of all
AHC patients.
AHC is a rare neurological disorder in which repeated, transient attacks of
hemiplegia (paralysis of a portion of the body, including the face) occur,
usually affecting one side of the body or the other, or both sides of the
body at once. It ranges from simple numbness in an extremity to full loss of
feeling and movement. The attacks may last for minutes, hours or even days
and are normally relieved by sleep. The attacks of hemiplegia typically
alternate from one side of the body to another, but it is not uncommon for
one side to be more frequently affected, or for episodes to begin on one
side, and then switch to the other. AHC episodes are often associated with
triggers that precede or induce the attack. Triggers for AHC episodes may
include--but are not limited to--environmental conditions (such as
temperature extremes or odors), water exposure, physical activities
(exercise, swinging), lights (sunlight, fluorescent bulbs), foods
(chocolate, food dye), emotional response (anxiety, stress, fright), odors
(foods, fragrances) and medications.
Although the
disorder is named of “childhood” those affected by AHC do not grow out of
the disorder. The AHC episodes may change and sometimes even decrease in
frequency as a child gets older. Every child with AHC is unique, and
children can be severely or mildly affected. However, as children get older,
developmental problems between episodes became more apparent. These
developmental problems may include difficulties in fine and gross motor
function, cognitive function, speech and language and even social
interactions. There is developing evidence that AHC may cause ongoing mental
and neurological deficits with a progressive course. Early intervention for
such children is extremely important to help maximize their developmental
achievements.

About/Mission: The Brendan
B. McGinnis Congenital CMV Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) established
in 2007 by Tracy McGinnis, whose son Brendan is severely disabled and
developmentally delayed due to congenital CMV. The primary goals of the
foundation are to raise public awareness about congenital CMV, to raise
donations to support research for a vaccine for CMV, and to affect change in
the medical community so that physicians will begin to test women for CMV
prior to pregnancy. Ultimately, our mission is to save babies
yet to be born from suffering the potentially devastating consequences of
congenital CMV.
CMV (cytomegalovirus) is the most common
congenital (present at birth) infection in the United States and is
the most common cause of birth
defects and childhood disabilities in the U.S. Each year in the U.S.,
approximately 35,000 children are born with congenital CMV infection. CMV is
a common virus that is transmitted through bodily fluids. It is a common
childhood illness, in which case it is harmless. However, when the virus is
passed from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby,
· EVERY HOUR a child becomes permanently disabled because of congenital CMV
· Approximately 1 in every 150 children is born with congenital CMV.
Of those children, 1 in 5 will be born with or will develop permanent
disability
· Approximately 5,500 to 8,000 children each year suffer
permanent disabilities caused by CMV
· More children are permanently disabled each year by Congenital CMV
than by Down Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Spina Bifida
· There are approximately 400 fatal cases of Congenital CMV each year
· CMV is the second leading cause of intellectual disability,
second only to Down syndrome
· CMV is one of the (if not the)
leading causes of cerebral palsy in children
· CMV is the leading cause of non-hereditary deafness in children
· In America, about half of all expectant mothers have never been infected
with CMV, which puts their unborn baby at risk!However, when the virus is passed from a
pregnant woman to her unborn baby, it can have devastating effects on the
developing baby!
Our
foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of CMV, to supporting CMV
vaccine research, and to supporting families affected by CMV around the
world. We have a number of exciting and important events that enable us to
put our mission statement into action.2011
marked the first year of what will now be an annual presentation of the
Award for Innovation in CMV Vaccine Research. We understand that there is
only one way CMV will truly be eradicated and that is with a vaccine. As
such, it is part of our mission statement to financially support CMV Vaccine
Reserach.Since 2008, our Foundation
has been holding CMV Awareness Walk-n-Rollathons across the country. Raising
much needed awareness as well as vital donations to support our goals, these
important events are hosted by CMV-affected families each Spring, primarily
in May and June. In 2011, we had major news coverage at the Washington State
event, which in turn allowed us to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers,
educating them about CMV! Also, we knew that families affected by CMV have
not had an outlet designed specifically for them. As such,
we have organized a fun and informative gathering for families with children
affected by CMV, called Making Tracks Together. Held each June, this year we
held the second annual Making Tracks Together at the Great Wolf Lodge. The 4
day event includes expert guest speakers as well as parent speakers. There
is plenty of formal and informal question & answer time throughout the
entire event. As well, one entire day, "Fun-day Friday", is spent as a group
in the water park with all of our families together! This is a fantastic
opportunity for families affected by congenital CMV to build community, to
share stories, advice, ideas, and undoubtedly some tears of both joy and
sorrow. Our Foundation is honored to bring this special event each year to
CMV-affected families across the world, providing the much needed support
and unity within our special community of families.
To date, we have distributed nearly 20,000 of our tri-fold CMV informational
pamphlets worldwide to the general public as well as to hospitals,
physicians offices, daycares, fitness centers, hair salons, schools, and
other such centers of business. We offer these as a free public service as
part of our CMV Awareness mission. We have recently produced a
PSA
ready for national distribution so we can reach millions of Americans via
the major television networks. The PSA's are in 60, 30 and 15 second lengths
and will be the awareness tool that enables us to reach the most amount of
people right in their own home with one broad outreach action. These PSA's
can also be found on You Tube,
where we also have other CMV Awareness videos available. Our videos have
been viewed by over 17,000 people so far. Facebook
is an important medium for our Foundation regarding CMV awareness and to
provide supportive outreach with CMV-affected families around the world. As
well, since 2009 our CMV awareness ad on facebook has had nearly 3 million
impressions to date! We continue to facilitate CMV awareness at a grassroots
level with articles being published around the country in local papers and
news stories airing on local television and radio stations. Our CMV
awareness items encourage the public to ask whomever is wearing our CMV
awareness items "just what is CMV?"

FIRST
DESCENTS Website:http://www.firstdescents.org/ Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/pages/First-Descents/120826974569 About/Mission:First Descents is committed to curing young adults of the emotional
effects of cancer and empowering them to regain control of their lives by
experiencing outdoor adventure therapy through kayaking, rock climbing and
other outdoor adventure sports.
These experiences
significantly increase self confidence. Self-confidence empowers people
affected by cancer to regain control of their lives. First Descents is not
just giving young adults with cancer their self confidence back, we’re
also connecting a largely disconnected population. First Descents helps
shatter the illusion that cancer makes people fragile. In the end First
Descents helps heal the emotional scars cancer left behind. Also, cancer
is the disease with the lowest survival rate among 18-39 year olds. Every
year, nearly 70,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 are
diagnosed with cancer. In contrast to younger and older patients, the
survival rates of young adults have not increased since 1975. Adolescent
and young adult cancer survivors are a vastly understudied population.
Diagnosis and treatment during young adulthood often results in a range of
unique psychological issues. Through First Descents we hope to bring
awareness about the young adult cancer population.

http://www.youtube.com/user/UMDF1 About/Mission:The mission of the UMDF is to
promote research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of
mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and
families. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cells in the body. They
are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy your body needs to
sustain life. Mitochondrial Diseases result from failures of the
mitochondria of a certain organ/tissue or multiple organs/tissues.
One of the frustrating things about Mito is
that it has the ability to disguise itself as so many other diseases. The
other frustrating thing is that no two people with the disease have the same
symptoms; the reason for this is, because the mitochondria perform so many
different functions in different tissues, there are literally hundreds of
different mitochondrial diseases. Because of this, there is very little
foundation for research for a cure by the FDA.
There is no cure for Mito..YET.

DOGS FOR THE PAWS - The National Pet/Art Awareness
Project Website:
http://www.dogsforthepaws.com Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/dogsforthepaws Twitter:
http://www.twitter.com/dogsforthepaws About/Mission: I began Dogs for the PAWS hoping to challenge
myself to get back to painting pet portraits. Since I am very involved with
rescue and rescues across the country, offering discounted artwork, I
thought it might be a unique way to feature some great dogs who came from
shelters or rescues. Since October and November are National shelter and
adoption months, I thought these were good reasons to start the project
then. When I sent out the press release back in September of 2009 I had 37
dogs submitted in the first week. As the weeks went on I continued to
receive submissions and these stories of courageous, aged, some abused, dogs
that survived such terrible events at the hands of humans or sad
circumstances...but ended up being adopted and loving members of families.
As I painted, people were sharing the link with others, and so on...This
sort of "network" has evolved with all these people and their love of their
dogs. I paint the dogs' portraits then share the stories, which are written
by the families, on Facebook, Twitter, and of course the blog, www.dogsforthepaws.com...
I never knew when the project started, that it would reach out to others and
get them to share these inspiring stories. Some of these dogs are
"celebrities" in their areas of the country, while others are just much
loved by their families who go out and help spread the word about their
rescues and shelters. People have used the paintings and blog to showcase
how wonderful adopted pets are. Some rescues and shelters have even printed
out the portraits and stories of the different dogs to inspire potential
adopters at different rescue/adoption events. The
original PAWS PACK 80 dogs' portraits are finished but due to the
overwhelming response to DFTP, we are continuing to build our group into a
network of awareness and inspiration to help pets in need. Our motto is
"United in the PAW".

About/Mission: Nowzad Dogs is a UK based Charity formed by a former
Royal Marine to assist soldiers in sending home the cats and dogs they adopt
whilst serving in Afghanistan. Currently we have more than 60 rescues at
various stages and in January 2011 we opened the very first official Animal
shelter in Afghanistan. To date we have reunited more than 200 animals with
their soldiers. We rely entirely on public donations to continue to work we
do on behalf of the soldiers and are completely non profit. We have one
full time expat staff member based in Afghanistan and 3 local Afghan staff
who help to care for the rescues at the shelter. We have recently been
given the go ahead to implement a human trap neuter release program in
Afghanistan and are working on setting up a donkey/horse co-operative to
teach local Afghans how to care for their working animals.
The life of Afghan animals is not one of comfort at the best of
times; most of the day is spent hunting for scraps of food or hiding from
the hot desert sun during the summer or the freezing cold of a desert winter
night. There is definitely no pampered pet status in Afghanistan.
The Nowzad Dogs charity has been formed to do something positive for the
cats, dogs and other animals of Afghanistan that have no hope and nobody to
care for them. We realise we cannot transport all of the stray dogs of
Afghanistan and Iraq to loving homes, but we will do our best to promote
animal welfare and to assist in vital animal aid work that is so desperately
needed in Afghanistan.
All money donated goes directly to helping the animals of Afghanistan.

self-employment, I've hit a patch of being unable to meet his needs at the
same time he's hit extreme need. He needs a CT scan and probable endoscopic
procedure; the meds he's on right now are not ones he can endure long-term,
and they're not doing the trick. I don't publicly talk much about my
own disabilities in my hunt to help him. It's too hard for people to
understand what I go through in order to be active with my animals, or the
support structure that it takes, when my issues are nebulous and rare
neurological/muscular that can't be treated, only managed. I've had them
for more years than I haven't, and always use my animals to cope and do PT.
I'm not shy about my situation, either--I just didn't want to dilute my
message for Connery. Or maybe I'm just too proud, who knows. Connery has ongoing expenses of about $1,000 a year,
which I can't cover any longer without a turn-around in my income. He also
needs to fund the treatment for the specific issue he now faces. The
book/donations have funded some initial treatment; I've targeted 1,000
copies sold to meet that new goal, and--aside from a few donations--am only
selling a handful of copies a week; the book simply isn't visible enough
despite my efforts. There's a barrier one has to break in order to reach
those outside immediate social networking, and we haven't done that yet.
If there's any overage, I've already targeted Second Chance shelter in
Flagstaff, AZ, and should the anthology continue to sell, I'd really like to
make the proceeds available to others in my position--those with active
performance partners whose emergency needs they're unable to meet due to a
change in their own circumstances or health. There are two web pages with details of the fundraising
effort--the one listed first (above), which focuses on the anthology, and
the one listed second with his history/story/medical details on it, and
which starts:
=============
Connery is the quintessential Beagle, a clown who is also possessed by
moments of astonishing singlemindedness. He has a FaceBook Page where he
chronicles his puzzlements about the human world.
During 2007, Connery ranked in the top ten Beagles nationally in obedience,
rally, and agility.
But when push comes to shove, he's my best friend, and I don't want to let
my best friend down. I desperately need to know if what's happening now is a
result of--or if the treatment will conflict with--the life-threatening
immune issues he's had all of his life.
These past five months, he's faced idiopathic erosive sinus inflammation
which--when he tracks, or plays, or bikes, or runs agility--leaves him
wheezing, choking, and stuck in spasmatic "snorking." Without a constant
stream of painkillers, he has terrible headaches and spends his time in a
miserable little Beagle ball.
So I need to do something for my dog kid. And this story collection will, I
hope, help me come through for him.

was founded by Dobie Houson to raise money for animal rescues and animal
charities. An estimated 4 to 5 million dogs and cats are abandoned each
year, dropped off at animal shelters or simply left to fend for themselves
on the streets. Of those who make it to animal shelters, half are euthanized.
Through her book, Finding Forever, Houson hopes to educate others about the
plight of homeless animals and to raise awareness regarding the many rescue
groups, including Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, that fight for animal
rights and safety. Eventually she hopes to create an online network to help
people locate and support local rescue efforts that are near and dear to
their hearts.A

NEADS service dog Website URL: http://neads.org/page.aspx?pid=500
About/Mission: Paxton
has multiple disabilities and needs an assisatance dog to help him in
school and in his need for independence.
Hi, my
name is Paxton Moynihan. I'm 25 years old and an art student at Central
Connecticut State University. I'm a huge hockey fan and I play sled hockey
for the Western MA Knights. I take shaolin kempo karate in my home town. I'm
currently a yellow belt. I love photography, drawing, horror movies, and I
play bass guitar. I also am a writer and reporter for my school's magazine.
I have a spinal cord disorder called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), a
connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3, an
autoimmune disease called Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease, that does
not effect my mobility, but has an effect on my health, Aspergers Syndrome,
which is on the autism spectrum. I also have a relatively common spinal cord
issue known as Spina Bifida Occulta (different from the more severe types of
Spina Bifida).
The HSP is similar to a type of Cerebral Palsy called Spastic Diplegia and
has caused me to have trouble walking and develop a scissor-gait (a type of
limp) and hip problems, a hearing impairment, muscle spasms in my legs,
seizures, and poor balance. The type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome I have causes
me to have joints that hyper-extend and become dislocated more easily than
the average person. I use forearm crutches or a manual wheelchair at school.
A service dog would help me retrieve things i've dropped and carry small
things in his or her backpack to help free up my hands, as well as provide a
constant companion for times when I'm sick and unable to go to school or in
the hospital. In addition, having a dog next to me when I'm walking with my
crutches would help me to balance better and give me a better sense of my
surroundings.
Please consider donating to help me get my service dog so that I can be more
independent and confident at school, and in life in general =]

meaning to their lives. When the duo learned that surfing led to a treatment
for cystic fibrosis (CF), they joined and soon became leaders within the
surfing community to help raise funds for the disease that robs children and
young adults of their youth, their health and eventually their lives before
most of them reach their late 30s. In 2008, Laird and Dave enthusiastically
became honorary chairmen of a very special fundraiser - "Pipeline to a

Danielle Paskowitz.Their son, Isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age
three. Like many autistic children, he often suffered from sensory
overload-- simple sensations could overwhelm him. The ocean was the one
place where he seemed to find respite.
A former competitive surfer, Israel hit upon an idea--with Isaiah on the
front of his surfboard, and Izzy steering from the back, the two spent the
day surfing together. Surfing had a profound impact on Isaiah. Israel and
Danielle decided they wanted to share this unique therapy with other
autistic children. They began to host day camps at the beach where autistic
children and their families could be exposed to a completely new experience
of surfing.

PATRICK MIRACLE Website:

http://www.gsvs.org/news/patrick.asp
About/Mission: Patrick was thrown down the garbage chute of a 22
story apartment building. He was starved and near death. A maintenance
worker was cleaning the contents of the container that goes to a trash
compacter. The bag moved a little and the worker opened it to find a
moribund dog inside -- pathetically thin, cold and near death. The City of
Newark Animal Control was contacted and ACO Arthur Skinner picked up the dog
and brought him directly to the Society. The veterinary staff immediately
put him on intravenous fluid. His temperature was so low that it did not
even register on the thermomenter. After a brief time at the Society's
Newark facility, he was ambulanced to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in
Tinton Falls -- a referral hospital with 24 hour emergency care. If he died
during that night, we feel he would know that everyone loved and cared about
him and treated him gently and lovingly. He amazed everyone at the Society
and at Garden State by surviving with the 24 hour emergency care that they
rendered. He was given a blood transfusion, a bath -- and even a walk! In
honor of the first day of his re-birth, we call him Patrick -- in honor of
St. Patrick's Day and we hope he has the luck of the Irish!

About/Mission: My name is Bow, I'm a 1 year old mutt from New
Zealand. Here in NZ there is a charity called adopt-a-dog hawkes bay.
These guys go to our local pound and rescue lovely natured dogs and place
them into foster homes. These dogs are cared for, any health problems are
treated, and they are desexed and vaccinated. The fosterers look after
these beautiful dogs until forever homes are found. Sadly the pound will
only keep a dog for a short time, after which if it is not claimed, it is
euthanised. Adopt-a-dog is saving the lives of these lucky dogs!
I'm raising money for
adopt-a-dog by creating paintings with my big feet. My brother Tala helps
me sometimes too. My brother and I were both rescue puppies, so we know
about being sad and alone, and just want to give a little back. Come and

CAMP COCKER Website:
www.campcocker.com Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/campcocker Breed: Cocker Spaniel About/Mission:Our primary mission is to
rescue dogs from high kill shelters in the Los Angeles region. There are
more than thirty high kill shelters that are within a 125 mile radius of Los
Angeles County. The amount of dogs in shelters are overwhelming. On any
given day there can be between two and seven cockers PER shelter! We have a
"worry
list" that can have up to sixty cockers on it. These are the dogs in
immediate danger of being put to sleep.
We can't save them all, we can't even save ten percent of them. But
instead of giving up, we are determined to save whom we can, one dog at a
time. Because the shelter dogs are at most risk, we rarely accept owner
relinquishments.
If you have a cocker spaniel that you are trying to relinquish, we
may only be able to consider taking in your dog if you can make a donation
towards their boarding and medical expenses. Please know that by accepting
your dog, it will mean that the life of a shelter dog is not going to be
saved.
Our rehoming process is rather selective as our aim is not just to
adopt the dogs out as quickly as possible, but rather to adopt the dogs out
to the home that is most right for that specific dog. A home that is most
likely to be able to make a life long commitment to that dog (that could be
up to a fifteen year commitment). Our adoption process is quite lengthy,
however it helps to screen out the adopters whom perhaps may be looking for
a dog on an impulse and have not quite planned to make such a long term
commitment. Those adopters whom are ready, are committed and have thought it
all through carefully, those are the ones that end up filling out an
adoption application and moving forward with adopting a dog from Camp
Cocker.

kill shelters to die. The dogs are all in caring, committed foster homes in
order to assess each dog individually for their needs in order to find them
permanent, responsible, forever adoptive homes.
Our rescue(FGDR) tends to work with large and giant breed dogs but we also
take in highly adoptable dogs from high kill shelters in both Canada
and the USA. Most are seized from horrendous situations, while others come
in as strays who are often abused and neglected. We do not take in owner
surrenders as there are too many dogs in dire need, awaiting euthanization
in these shelters across North America.
All of our rescues are fully vetted, spayed or neutered and are placed in
foster homes as we do not operate a shelter environment. Therefore, they
receive a lot of one-on-one attention and love to help them get over
whatever bad experiences they may have had, to help them gain confidence,
and to understand that not all humans are cruel. All our rescues are also
assessed on temperment i.e. good with kids, cats dogs etc. in order to find
the perfect forever home for them.
All a rescue dog looks for is a warm place to sleep, food in their bellies,
and a kind loving family to shower them with attention. There is nothing
more rewarding than looking a rescue dog in the eyes and seeing how much
they appreciate a kind face, warm heart and the unconditional love they give
back, no matter what circumstances they have come from.

Full Moon Farm is home to 83 wolfdogs of all mixes and contents. Full Moon Farm is an organization dedicated to the
well being of the wolfdog (wolf hybrid). Situated on 17 beautiful
mountain acres in Black Mountain, NC, we operate as a federally
recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization for abused and refused
wolfdogs who find themselves in need of love, shelter, and care through
no fault of their own. Full Moon Farm provides a safe haven for animals that
cannot be placed into homes for the rest of their lives. Our
rescued wolfdogs come from animal control agencies, closed breeding
situations and occasionally, an owner in crisis. We evaluate each animal
upon intake and work with them at their level of comfort. Some animals
are "hands off" and we respect their choice, as well as that of the
animals that crave human interaction. Our goal is to enrich the lives of
the residents, allowing them to reach their highest potential. Your
support by donation or sponsorship makes our task possible. Though they may be abused or neglected, homeless
because of death or divorce, they are all God's creatures and worthy of
a lifetime of respect. We are here to serve them. For further information, contact Nancy Brown: Full Moon Farm,

charitable organization in Jacksonville, FL dedicated to giving older and
senior dogs a second, sometimes third, chance at a new life. At so many
shelters, the age of a dog can determine its chances of reaching the
adoption floor to find a new forever home. As a result, many wonderful
dogs are denied the ability to live out their lives with dignity,
surrounded by love. The Old Dog House aims to enlighten the public to the
joys of owning an older or senior dog through educational programs and to
place rescued dogs into true forever homes through adoption programs. The
dogs that come into the care of The Old Dog House will remain in our care
until adopted. We rely solely on donations from the public to support our
organization. 100% of donations received are used for the care and
rehabilitation of the dogs at The Old Dog House.

THE SHAMROCK CIRCLE FUND Website:
http://shamrockcirclefund.blogspot.com/ About/Mission:The fund was established by
a gracious adopter rescued GoldenRetrievers with
special needs. It is funded by monthly, tax deductible charitable
donations. Shamrock Circle Fund helps to fund extraordinary medical and
emergency expenses, such as medical tests, surgeries, long term care for
the elderly and unexpected events.
1. Shelter & Emergency Medical Assistance.
This program asissts rural shelters with supplies and donations and
through The Phoenix Fund, helps rescue groups handle medical bills for
animals that have suffered extreme abuse or neglect.
Many rural shelters are
too small to accommodate the growing number of animals entering their
facilities each year. Most of these shelters lack proper protection
from the elements, utilizing outdoor runs and buildings without
heating and/or air. UDF seeks to assist these shelters through
food/supply drives as well as monetary donations.
The Phoenix Fund is named
for a courageous pup that was brought to a small shelter with severe
mange, eye, ear and skin infections. This fund supplies grants to
rescue groups to provide emergency medical care for dogs with medical
issues caused by abuse or neglect.
2. Military Mutts - the
goal of the Military Mutts program is to provide assistance to
deploying military personnel in caring for their pets while deployed
(through transport to a family member, fostering or re-homing);
provide food and supplies to military pet owners facing financial
difficulties; and placing companion animals with military families.

Shelter, including strays ( dog's & cats), we're also feeding &
caring for. Our Shelter is Small, with too many Dog's packed into a
small area. We do not have room to bring all the Strays into our
Shelter, too keep them safe. All we can do is provide them food &
some medical care. The strays are not safe from Poisonings,
shootings, and abuse from Townspeople. Strays are often severely
abused on the streets of Greece. We are trying to make a Difference,
but it will take many more voices (from People around the World) to
help us!
Our aims are to educate the public that all animals
need commitment, love and respect; also animals should be NEUTERED
to avoid more unwanted litters, and given the care that they need.
By REHOMING animals we can provide much needed space to RESCUE more
abused animals. All the animals are GIVEN the TIME, veterinary care
and love they need to RECOVER before being homed. If a suitable home
cannot be found they are NEVER KILLED, they simply stay at the
SHELTER for the rest of their lives.
