That's a lot of mouths to feed & care for and a lot of man-hours to get it all done. In winter a number of island residents volunteer to help regularly with cleaning kennels, 'poo patrol' and socialising the dogs but it's harder in summer when most people are working 7 days a week.   Many people miss their pets when they come on holiday so why not pop in and walk a dog or play with some pups? It's fun for you and essential to give the dogs exercise and get them used to human company.   In Summer the Centre is open to visitors every day between 11am & 7pm. But if you decide to go please phone ahead so somebody can be prepared to show you around. Call Dionisis on +30 6979 131136     or email: doris.ark@hotmail.com Donate some essential supplies pots, pans blankets, carpets, old clothes plastic toys construction material (cement, fences, etc).

We all know there are plenty of dogs in the UK who need homes but if you fall in love with a particular dog here, it is possible. Thanks to the change in quarantine laws from January 2012 the whole process is also much quicker and cheaper than before because long-term boarding is no longer required.  For further information look at the quarantine page.
