We are
a Non-Profit
Organisation under Greek law. It is a
response to a demand for structural
help for animals that need help.
Eresos, located on the
Greek island Lesvos, is the birthplace
of the famous Greek poet Sappho. It is
a heavenly spot, in the summer visited
by many tourists.

But like anywhere else,
also here in Eresos, again and again
situations occur where we can’t look
away, but are summoned to let our
hearts speak and take action. Many of us (tourists
and those who live here) find animals
in distress.
The question however
is: what happens then? The tourists
fly back, sometimes they take a pet
with them, but in many cases the
animals stay in Eresos, where they
need food and often medical care -
especially in the winter, when all the
guests are gone and the village is
like a ghosttown.
We do our best to take
care of them - cats are fed in the
streets, dogs are sheltered in the
Sanctuary, Villa GaGa and fosterhomes.
But, of course, the final goal is: a
good life for every animal, here in
Eresos or elsewhere.
