Taking care of stray puppies
Dog abandonment is a HUGE issue in Greece, especially in rular areas like the one I live! The Greek government hasn't taken drastical steps to solve this problem so it's up to us citizens to do what we can about it!
For the past 6 months me and @illusivelf live at the suburbs of Preveza,GR and right next to Preveza dog shelter. The shelter is in a terrible shape, building is ready to collapse, dogs live in really small spaces and most of them are in terrible health! At least someone feeds them on a daily basis but yet...
Everyone in Preveza knows how bad the situation at the dog shelter is yet they keep abandoning dogs at the road that leads to it, the road my house is located!
New puppy abandonment
2 weeks ago as I was drinking my morning coffee I heard some strange noises from the yard. The noise was coming from 3 puppies, 3 puppies that someone has abandoned outside our house. The puppies were so small they managed to slip through the front house gate and were hiding bellow the car!
At that time we didn't want to keep the puppies in our yard cause we were taking care of 2 other abandoned puppies a couple months ago and they both died. This made us really sad and didn't want to go through this again so we moved the puppies outside the yard at a safe place, offered them food and water and some petting hehe!
This was their "nest" 2 weeks ago!
Of course we took a bunch of photos, shared them on social media and in Preveza dog-related groups and luckily lots of people decided to help either by feeding them or by coming to their nest, taking photos of them and posting them in their social media accounts in case someone wants to adopt them!
So far we managed to give only 1 out of 3 puppies for adoption, the brown one who also happened to be the only male puppy in this "gang". As for the other 2...they started slipping in our yard again and the rest is history hehe! They live here now hahaha!
Puppies look super-healthy, they are playing all day safe from cars and other stray dogs and their bellies are always full! Here's how they look like today
They really transformed in just 2 weeks. They aren't the same scared and skinny dogs they used to be, they're super friendly, fat and all they want is petting and play time! Here's a video of them playing in our yard!
Don't let their cuteness fool you though, they're evil! Here's the evidence, a puppy attack on me! They're evil!!!
At this point I wanna give a big shout out to my dog Biggie who accepted them in "his" yard! Some dogs wouldn't allow even puppies to trespass the area they are guarding but Biggie is cool! He is cool enough to let them live here but not so cool to let them play with him though haha!
He keeps barking at them when they get close to him and those cutties are now scared of him haha! Biggie is 10 years old so he isn't as playfull as he used to be, all Biggie cares now is to dig, bark, eat and take a shit hehe!
That's Biggie and he's a good boi!
We will keep looking for people who want to adopt those 2 cutties but until then they're our "responsibilty". Wish I could adopt them both but living a "digital nomad" lifestyle and moving every couple years does not help!
I'm an optimistic guys so I'd like to think that we're gonna find them a nice house and live a happy life, a life every dog deserves to live!

What a beautiful publication, a nice way to raise awareness, animals cannot be thrown away like any old object, but there are people who have no feelings.
I hope they get the puppies a stable adoptive home soon and love him very much. @knowhow92 😉
I hope so too @soyunasantacruz. We are gonna do what we can to find them a nice home 🏡
Thanks for the love ♥️
I thought that only in my country this abandonment of dogs and cats happened, it is something so sad and painful, like you, I think that if first the government would get involved in the matter by reforming some laws the matter would change a little, on the other hand, I constantly promote sterilization especially because people when adopting or buying are not aware of the responsibility of having a furry, I have 6 cats at home and all of them are styled and the cats that are thrown to me in the area, because they know that I take care of them, I have sterilized them too, only the cat that has babies is missing.
I hope soon to get a home for these two beauties, because as you say they deserve a home where they are loved and cared for as they deserve, they are beautiful.
Same thing happens in this area I live at too. They know there are people who will take care of the dogs and the shelter is nearby so they abandon dogs all the time.
Sterilisation is they key here indeed. Unfortunately the mayor has no money left to sterilise all abandoned dogs/cats (they lie) so citizens now pay for stray animal sterilisation from their pockets.
Well done for taking care of animals @actioncats, the world needs more people like you 🤜🤛
That's sweet what you are doing for the pups and trying to find them homes. Too cute to be stuck outside like that. I'm not a dog person but I have adopted a few cats that just showed up on the doorstep over the course of my life. Keep up the good deeds.
For sure I will hehe! They are babies, they should be taken care of proper! Hope we'll find them a sweet house soon too!
