Marley’s journey began on the streets, where he was rescued by our amazing volunteer Marleen together with Nikos. She cared for him, helped him heal, and fell in love along the way — so much that she couldn’t let him go. Today, Marley is living his dream life by her side, a true reminder that sometimes rescues become forever family. 

Layla was found as a tiny puppy alongside her mom and four brothers. Our volunteer Anastasia fostered her with love, and in Germany she met her amazing forever family who absolutely adores her. From street pup to cherished companion — Layla’s story is pure happiness. ​

During her time volunteering, our lovely Clea from France met two very special souls — Viny and Essy. Viny was rescued while Clea was with us, and Essy had been surrendered to our shelter years earlier. Both live with leishmaniasis, but that didn’t stop Clea from opening her heart and home to them. Today, they are living proof that love can overcome any challenge.

Since 2022, our amazing volunteer Caroline has called the shelter her home — and along the way, she has opened her heart to three Bronx babies. Pandora was found at just 1 month old, Ciano was abandoned on the sands of Balos Beach, and Chérie was discovered with her two sisters in the trash. Today, all three live a life filled with love, adventure, and care. And whenever Caroline returns to Denmark for holidays, her precious trio is right there with her.

Nennette was found with her seven siblings abandoned beside trash cans. Today, she lives a beautiful life in Sweden with her sister Athena — another rescue from Greece. From a rough start to a life filled with love, Nennette’s journey is what rescue is all about. 

Missy came to us as a foster after a holidaying family found her near their hotel. From the very first day, they knew she was meant to be theirs. After finishing her foster stay with us, she joined them permanently — travelling all the way to the UK, where she now enjoys a wonderful life with the people who loved her from the start.

Jimmy and Happy’s journey is a true testament to love beyond appearances. Our amazing volunteer Annie decided to foster them both — Jimmy, who lost his nose due to leishmaniasis, and Happy, who is missing one eye and is completely blind. During their time together, Annie couldn’t resist Jimmy’s charm and adopted him herself. Happy found her perfect match too, joining the loving home of Annie’s friend’s mom. Today, both are safe, cherished, and living proof that every life is worth saving.

Rolo and Skittles’ lives changed forever the day they were surrendered to our shelter by a hunter. When volunteers Roman and Lena from Germany came to help, they instantly fell in love with this inseparable sibling pair. Even after returning home, they couldn’t forget them. One year later, their dream came true — Rolo and Skittles traveled to Germany to join Roman and Lena’s family, where they now live the happy, safe life they always deserved.

Nora spent her entire life chained, never knowing freedom or love — until the day Nikos rescued her. In our care, she quickly captured the heart of our amazing volunteer Anastasia, who knew she deserved a family as soon as possible. Just two weeks later, Nora was on her way to Germany, where her new mom welcomed her with open arms. Today, she enjoys the warmth, comfort, and happiness she was denied for so long.

When Doukas arrived at our shelter, he was skin and bones — a heartbreaking result of life on a chain. With time, care, and love, he regained both his strength and his spirit. During her volunteering stay, Malina fell completely in love with him and knew they were meant to be together. Since then, Doukas has not only found his forever home but has also traveled the world by Malina’s side, living the life he always deserved.
