The animal welfare association “Friends of Animals – Rethymno” was founded in 2000. The terrible living conditions for animals, the vast number of animals abandoned on the streets or in the bins and the total indifference by the authorities to these animals were the motives that lead a group of people to set up the association with the intention of helping these animals and to inform the public.
The association is run solely with volunteers and all expenses are raised from donations and fund-raising events.
The association’s main concern is, and has always been, neutering and information.
