A huge thank you to everyone involved in the neutering sessions! So many gave their time & hard work to make this work.
Special thanks go to Bev & Sarah, Melanie & Sue, Kathie & her cook team for the amazing food, Tassos for all his hard work at the clinic.
Goes without saying we could not do any of this without Arche Noah & the support of the Dimos.

Living Together with the Animals
The Federation (Pan-Hellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation), in its effort to enforce the animal loving idea to the new children, in cooperation with the Municipality of Apokoronas has already started at the schools of the Municipality the presentation of the educational program “Living together with the Animals Around Me”, that Ms Melita Lazaratou created.
Almost all teachers responded to the invitation of the Municipality and our Federation and the young pupils surprised us pleasantly with their knowledge and questions concerning animals.
Our program is presented in the schools of Chania and Crete as well as the rest of Greece since 2008 and has contributed a lot to the change of our attitude as concerns animals. animals.

Friends of Animals Rethymno launches new website
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.
