💗 Happy Midsummer Solstice 💗
At the sanctuary, today is much like any other day.
The animals still need feeding, cleaning, medication, attention, and love. There are no weekends, holidays, or days off when so many lives depend on you.
I won't lie — caring for two tiny puppies around the clock is demanding under normal circumstances. Doing it while struggling with my own health has been a challenge unlike any other. Yet every sleepless night and every extra effort becomes worth it when I see them grow stronger each day and know they have a chance at the healthy, happy future they deserve.
Little Moira and Milla are thriving. ❤️
They are already on their FOURTH tub of puppy milk powder, and we will likely need several more before they are fully weaned. Both girls have started getting their first teeth, which means they will soon begin their journey to solid food with softened puppy kibble and puppy wet food mixed into their milk.
Their personalities are beginning to shine. Moira's growth has slowed a little while Milla seems determined to catch up. They wrestle, groom each other, scratch their little ears, and explore the world together. And of course, Nenne is never far away, carefully watching over them.
In the midst of the sadness we still feel after losing Odie, seeing these two little souls thrive brings comfort and hope.
We would also like to thank ❤️ Tarja Kulmala and Harri for visiting us, bringing food for the dogs, and even a few wonderful tastes of Finland. Your kindness means so much.
And thank you to Urte Tiere von Samos , who collected donations in Germany and used them to purchase cat food for the sanctuary. Thank you as well to everyone who contributed. ❤️
As summer holidays begin, we are entering one of the most difficult periods of the year. We completely understand that people are focusing on their families, travels, and well-earned breaks. But the animals' needs do not pause for summer.
Every day there are hungry mouths to feed, medicines to buy, puppies to raise, and rescued animals to care for.
If you are able to help, even with a small donation, it would mean the world to us and the animals. If donating isn't possible right now, please consider sharing our posts and telling others about our work. Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to help.
For those who prefer to donate food instead of money, you can order directly from Zooplus.com or .gr, and have supplies sent straight to the sanctuary:
