The Charity started in 2003 when 8 puppies were found close to death in a dustbin. All were nursed back to health and subsequently, literally thousands of animals have been re-homed either in Greece, Germany, Austria and the UK.
CARE presently has a small shelter near Sidari, situated in the north of the Island. With limited space and facilities, this means we sadly cannot take in all the reported strays but CARE has a mobile unit and along with groups of volunteers, CARE has set up feeding stations and the strerilization of these animals wherever possible.
The CARE sanctuary offers temporary lodging for these animals whilst new homes are sourced. The animals are also checked by the vet, and as far as possible any medical requirements are administered.
