A short update from the shelter! Recently, we welcomed some new people and completed a few tasks. We cut grass and removed dangerous plants for the dogs—though the land is mountainous and large, so not easy to manage. We also created our first experimental veggie garden, but progress is slow, as we still don’t have access to water. Even watering the trees we planted (so important for this burnt land) is a challenge. We’ve started work on the new caravan,added soil to improve the yard and created a water system for the trees.We had to cancel our trip to the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair in Thessaloniki. The day before, we took Garry to the vet. He has leishmaniasis and kidney issues, and while he seems well overall, his testicles are swollen and his blood results were bad. Surgery isn’t safe for now, and he’ll need a 10-day serum therapy and special care.  While in Thessaloniki, we also planned to do dental cleanings for 15-year-olds Alfi and Zilia with our trusted vet, but we’ll reschedule soon hopefully.Paraskevas is going to Patras for surgery next week to remove what is likely a grass awn. His wound kept reopening, and after two misdiagnoses, we’re finally getting answers. Jester’s blood work looks better, but due to pancreas issues, he needs low-fat food. He also has a skin fungus we are treating. We’ll check on him again when we take Paraskevas to Patras for his surgery.We’re also preparing a cozy indoor/outdoor space for Rouki at the other caravan. Due to FIV and past anxiety issues, he needs comfort and care close to people. Sadly, our absence from Thessaloniki meant no fundraising, but our next events are in Athens!📍 June 7: Vegan food + merch @punkagainstcapitalism📍 June 8: Bazaar with second-hand, food, crafts & music (last one was rainy, so we still have lots!) at Navarinou Park You can support us via PayPal, IRIS, or Greek/Belgian bank accounts—or come help us on site in June!Thank you for your continued support. See you soon! 🌼 ... See MoreSee Less

It had been a while since we organized a solidarity event, and the one on Sunday was an absolute blast! The lack of good weather and the limited availability of self-organized spaces had held us back from planning something of our own. Despite the high chances of rain and the risk of cancellation, we took a leap and booked the park for March.Luckily, the weather was on our side! We enjoyed great food, reconnected with friends, and had a great time at Navarinou Park. During the day we welcomed many visitors—some came specifically for the bazaar, while others simply stumbled upon the event and decided to join in after seeing something exciting happening.For the bazaar, we had collected thousands of second-hand clothes since January. Since we didn’t have enough rails to hang them, we got creative and built our own at the shelter using upcycled wood and metal bars! Even then, all the rails filled up quickly, and half of the van was still packed with clothes!We were much less stressed and tired this time since we had help with the cooking—the most exhausting part of organizing bazaars. A huge thanks to all the friends who brought vegan goodies and to @the.vegandragon for his special Japanese and Thai dishes, which sold out in no time!A big thanks to Vintage Piece for Peace for being there all day and helping out with everything we needed. Without their support, our bazaars wouldn’t have the same success!Thanks to this event, the upcoming vet expenses for Sting, Diro, and Garry will be fully covered!Solidarity bazaars are our only way to support the shelter, which is why we aim to organize one every month. Our next one is planned for the end of April, and we hope to receive the same amazing support as this time.Thank you all—see you next time! ... See MoreSee Less
