After a four-year wait, our Equine Care Programme returned to Naxos to provide much-needed veterinary, farriery and dental care to the island’s working equines.

In just one and a half days, our team examined and treated 25 horses, donkeys and mules. From trimming severely overgrown hooves to treating injuries and addressing painful dental problems, the visit provided vital care that is not otherwise readily available on the island.

Μετά από τέσσερα χρόνια απουσίας, το Πρόγραμμα Φροντίδας Ιπποειδών επέστρεψε στη Νάξο, προσφέροντας πολύτιμη κτηνιατρική, πεταλωτική και οδοντιατρική φροντίδα στα ιπποειδή εργασίας του νησιού.

Μέσα σε μόλις μιάμιση ημέρα, η ομάδα μας εξέτασε και φρόντισε 25 άλογα, γαϊδούρια και μουλάρια. Από την περιποίηση οπλών που είχαν μεγαλώσει υπερβολικά, μέχρι την αντιμετώπιση τραυματισμών και επώδυνων οδοντικών προβλημάτων, η επίσκεψη προσέφερε στα ζώα απαραίτητη φροντίδα, η οποία δεν είναι εύκολα διαθέσιμη στο νησί.

Meet Lucky, a Hooded crow who survived the devastating wildfire in Porto Germeno.

ΑΝΙΜΑ - Σύλλογος Προστασίας και Περίθαλψης Άγριας Ζωής does not usually name its wildlife patients, but sometimes there has to be an exception.

Lucky managed to fly through the fire and escape alive, although the primary and secondary flight feathers were badly scorched.

Unable to fly, Lucky was found by a kind member of the public and taken to the Dogs' Voice camp at Megara Stadium. From there, ANIMA volunteer Vaso transported the crow to their First Aid Station.

Thankfully, Lucky had no other health problems and is now recovering alongside other Hooded crows at ANIMA’s facility in Kalivia. Once the damaged feathers have moulted and healthy new ones have grown, Lucky should be able to fly again.

Thanks to our supporters, Animal Action Greece was proud to provide funding to ANIMA during the recent wildfires, supporting its vital work rescuing and caring for affected wildlife.🪶💚

Unfortunately, there are still on-going wildfires in areas such as Agrafa, Evrytania, Palaiochori, Halkidiki, Argithea, Koropi and Salamina. If you can support our urgent wildfire appeal, please donate today via: https://animalactiongreece.beaconforms.com/form/35a6fd93
