A rescue organizations dedicated to finding loving homes for cats and dogs. Our animals live in our homes (we do not have a shelter) and are made to be companion animals. Cats and dogs come to us through owner-surrender, animal abandonment, or finding them randomly (the picture attached is a rescue from Delphi, Greece). We educate the public about spay/neutering animals and the basic care for animals. As individual fosters, we provide a home environment so that the animal will be accustomed to a loving home.
