Hot in the city? Well, really hot on Samos!

Wh**ey and Uki spent the night in Karlovasi, as guests of our vet Antonis and Natalia, as they were sterilized. Everything went really well, and both are recovering super!

Next will be Nappi and the sisters.

We did receive some bad news as well. It seems like this is the year only loss and heartbreak, as we will soon be saying goodnight to Kurttu.
The tumor in her paw needs to be operated, and in her case, it means amputation.
If you've followed us for longer, you know that Kurttu has a heart condition, her knees are permanently wonkey, she has a hernia, and she is deaf. Also, she is approximately 12-13 years old.
So her age and heart conditions are a severe risk when we think about the operation, but even if she would recover... what would her quality if life be after recovery, with one good front leg and two monkey back legs, as a tripod.
Sometimes, the biggest love is to let go..

These are never easy decisions and mean many sleepless nights.. for now, Kurttu is still with us.

Nenne loves water, even in the evening when its cooler. She goes and lays in the tub, just for the heck of it.. I think she was a mermaid in her previous life.

Hot hot hot!!!

Dogs are looking shelter from shadows and water, as the sun is shining hot. We do have a breeze, but the dogs dont feel it the same way as we humans do.

We have made a big order for junior dog food and cat food, as well as bought dry food in general for all dogs.

Our friend Roger visited us and brought food for cats and dogs, as well as a bed and some toys, THANK YOU!

Also, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has donated for the animals and sent Kurttu bandaids.

A special THANK YOU to for their donation, it was a lifesaver!

And also a special THANK YOU to TicoTico and his mom ❤️

We hope you enjoy the pictures! There is one picture that is not about the animals, but rather my glasses, which the juniors decided to.. chew.

Hey hey hey from hot Samos!

It has been some busy times but ofcourse we update here as well!

Dogs are adjusting to the heat gradually, and as you might remember, the youngsters love the water.

Nenne has found the big pool, and she tries to get in whenever she is in front of the house.

Yesterday was an interesting day. We had an appointment with our vet for the youngsters, but our car was not in agreement of it. Took a while until finally the battery had loaded enough so we could pack the dogs in and go (We havent found the culprit yet, and the battery loses power somewhere even when the car is off).
Thankfully, Natalia waited for us ❤️.
So the youngsters now have full vaccinations and chips. We also weighed them.. and results were:
Dina 11.5
Nappi and Nyyti 13-14
Nenne..17.5 😂🙈 and she is not fat..
And they will grow another 10-15 kilos.. if not more.

Also, Kurttu had a checkup and is now on medication, and we will see if we get the growth to shrink and maybe operate.. we will have to wait a couple of weeks.

Because she decided to chew on the growth, we have it now protected all the time, and she has the "trumpet" as she tries to remove all bandaids.

We ask if you have any extra bandsid material.. what we need is in the pictures, mainly we need swabs, and also vaseline pads, which help that the swabs dont stick onto the wound.

If you have any extra or want to buy some for the animals, you can send to:

It has been some very emotional and sleepless nights for the last weeks.

Not only the stress for where to find money for the food, but also the puppies getting sick, my own health and stuff.. but we had a cloud over our heads that we have been quiet about.

But on Thursday, we.. were found innocent. It was not just "Not guilty", it was Innocent.

A huge mountain of a rock was taken from my heart. It always felt so wrong to be accused of issues that were not in our control.
We did everything we could and more to keep the dogs quiet, the area clean and animals healthy. Which was proved by the inspection done by official delegation and the police who have checked us.
Nevertheless, some people chased us, wanting to make us pay more, for helping animals. Even people who actually asked us to take in dogs were accusing us.
But justice saw that and deemed us innocent.
Finally people hopefully understand that the main problem around here is not us, it's the hunting dogs in enclosures around us that bark at nights and also during daytime, and nobody is there to shut them up.

Our dogs are inside during the night. They dont bark. Also, during the day when they are out, if they bark, we will quiet them down immediately or as soon as possible. We live with the animals, we work from home.. they must be as quiet as possible.

We dont do this work to cause problems for others. We do this work to help animals and humans, both.

We can't carry on doing this work without your continued support ❤️

Yesterday Nyyti and Dina visited our vet, Nyyti is back to normal now, but Dina is still weak. She was in a drip yesterday and we took her back in today, so she can have another round of iv fluids and meds.

The other three are pretty much normal, Nappi and Nenne already played quite a bit last night.

Please keep them in your thoughts ❤️

I don't even know where to start.. but here it goes. Forgive me if it seems like rambling, but it's just going to come out.

Since we lost TioPepe in December, it seems a cycle started hasn't ended. We have lost also Piki, Kuisku, Maisa, Bella, and now.. Monica, one of the five puppies.

Last week, Nenne and Nappi seemed to be off, and they were taken to the vet. Results were inconclusive, but 90% sure for Parvo.
They got treatment and started to feel better. The other three had no symptoms until days later, they created them on Saturday.
Today, Dina and Monica were to go to the vet in the morning, but our car didn't start. Luckily, Urte had a car, and she came to pick up Monica, who unfortunately passed away.
Dina and Nyyti are doing better, Nyyti has hardly any symptoms, but both are going to the vet tomorrow morning.

Needless to say, these losses are heavy on our hearts and minds, making us second guess if we can do this anymore. We are mentally drained and physically exhausted.

Did I mention that Kurttu has a tumor in her paw and Bubu has again developed mammary tumors. Both girls are seniors, around 13 years old.. and operations are needed..

People ask me "how are you?". I don't want to answer it anymore, because it's the easy "okay" lie.. or the "drained, depressed and heartbroken" truth.. which nobody wants to hear cause it's difficult to understand and reply to it.

We need help.

Our Story

This our site. Originally this page was only in Finnish, as we are a Finnish couple. But because so many people from all around the world have found their way to this page, we now continue in English. But: Jos kukaan kaipaa tietoa suomeksi, laittaa vaan viestia rohkeasti tulemaan ;) We are a couple from Finland and live in Samos, Greece. We have been here since 2009. 2018 was a remarkable year for us, because we met a wonderful couple; Evi and Panos. They share our love for the strays, and the want and need to care for them. We all have our own individual strengths and together we do all we can, for the best of the strays here in our area. Together, we are stronger and able to help more and more animals to find their forever homes and leave the street-life. Our friend Urte is a supportive member of our team, she lives in Germany but spends a lot of time here as well. She puts us on the map in many ways, helps our voices for the animals to be heard. She has endless love for all animals. One of our main goals is to give new lives to the strays, to find them loving homes. But before that, we take care of them here. We nurture them, sterilize them, socialize them.. and do all we can to ensure a great future for them. We are taking cares of all strays from tortoises to donkeys and horses and everything in between. We work together with the local vets Antonis and Natalia, who are extremely dedicated to their work. On this page, we will post pictures of our volunteer work with the animals. There will be stories of them.. some sad.. mostly happy. We will also ask for donations, all kinds: food, medicine, material etc. Because we can't do it all alone.. there are so many that need help. A big shout out to Argos Animal Rescue in Finland and Djuren pa Samos in Sweden, who support us as best they can. Without the help from other organizations, we can not care for the many animals that need help.
