I visited the Souda Shelter Project while I was staying in Chania Town. It's a great place to visit if you are interested in adopting or want to see and learn about all of the animals they have rescued and are in their care❤️🥲
I am so happy shelters like this exist on the island of Crete. As a tourist it's reassuring to know if I come across an injured or suffering animal (which is very common here) I would have someone to call to help. I have been in places where this wasn't the case and I will never return unless I was specifically going for animal rescue.
The government does as little as possible to help the stray situation and improve animal welfare on the island. I wish the government would see the value these shelters have to tourism and stop working against them
