Easter appeal for Dodo

Our Easter appeal is for Dodo. While washing his car in Cyprus, a friend Jack had little Dodo literally leap into his lap. He was traumatised, covered in oil stains and tics. Obviously dumped and needing some care. Jack cleaned him up and we offered to bring him to the UK to find him a home. We thought we had lots if time as he was treated for a tic desease and then we wanted to sterilise him but things have taken a turn which means Dodo needs to be out quickly. Someone in the village has started to claim Dodo is his. Jack did it all legally, declaring found and waiting the required tine before registering as his but this is a village in Cyprus and he is an outsider. We have decided to get him out ASAP and a flight is on the 15th April but need to desperately raise flight costs. All prep and vet costs have been raised so far by a supporters fundraiser. Flight is £385 and today we had a £50 donation from a friend of Sian Bishop at her request for her birthday big thank you and will put to Dodo. Please help raise the rest by donating via PayPal to  paypal.me/AAInt and Mark Dodo thank u

Abir Wazzan

She takes in many abused and disabled dogs and works round the clock to care for them as well as work . She usually funds herself mostly from her work but in these times and with the virus that has deteriorated and she is not getting the work she once had and now she is just about run out of food and it is tick season and she badly needs bravecto for her dogs. AAI have set up this fundraiser to help her, NOTE it is much better to donate to her directly via her paypal abirelwazzan@yahoo.gr as she will get immediatlely and no commission taken but if cant please donate to her here and please share the fundraiser thank you in advance

KELLI'S GONE HOME! - 3 SYROS DOGS LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOGETHER!...

So lovely Kelli who spent her whole life nearly in a Greek shelter has found a loving home with AAI foster Eleanor, lovely ending for her and she gets to live with her pals.

KELLI'S GONE HOME! - 3 SYROS DOGS LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOGETHER!...

Yep she's arrived!.. Beatiful 11 year old Kelli has just made the car trip across London from her wonderful foster home with Gill where she's spent the last 7 months. She's now in her forever family with her mum Eleanor & her best friends from Syros Ektoras & Ismini!!..

Three Greek dogs who spent 10+ years in the same kennel at the Syros Stray Animal Shelter / Καταφύγιο Αδέσποτων Ζώων Σύρου are now reunited & living together in their new retirement home in England!

We are so happy for these 3 seniors and can't believe they will all be together! They were best friends at the shelter & this is like a dream come true!

It definitely takes a "village" to make this happen so we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped along the way. Firstly to Virginia Preka & all the shelter voluneers from Syros who has cared & loved these dogs for so many years. A huge thank you to Niz Khan for re-homing these beautiful dogs in such a great family, to Gill Boot for providing the most wonderful foster environment & bringing Kelli out of her shell and to Eleanor Moss for opening her heart so widely & giving a beautiful loving home to 3 dogs from Greece whom she'd never met previously and providing them with a loving caring home.

 The  video is Kelli's first hours in her new home with her old friends. She's the one with the red harness, they are all so alike "pea's in a pod"!

Eleanor has promised us more videos as Kelli settles and we will post them here for you all to enjoy.

Can you give Gorgeous a home?

I am a gorgeous old lady who is feeling quite lucky at the moment as at the grand old age of 11 I have made it to a foster home in the UK. I have spent my whole life in a Greek Shelter after being taken in as a 3 month old puppy after a car accident. I am a little timid when first meet but very docile and sweet. I want to live with another dog to give me confidence but I don't need long walks at all and prefer a sniff round a secure garden and maybe a 15 min walk if I feel like it. This is not because I cant walk or am not fit but because I am a little scared still of the outside world. A lovely quiet home with another confident but mellow dog would be SOOOO Lovely for me now. I am fostered in Essex Please Share for me These beautiful pics courtesy of Jeff Cranwell Photography

Animal Adoption International Xmas fundraiser for Velvet's mum

This is a very sad Animal Adoption International Xmas fundraiser we are having this year and one we definately didn't want to have. It is for little Velvet, who was adopted two and a half years ago with her sister Perla from Greece. She has had the most amazing two and a half years with her mum Noreen but a few weeks ago fell very sick. After tests it was found that she had chronic ehrlichia, even though she tested negative in Greece, the vet thinks that by a fluke she was bitten after the test. She showed no signs until she fell sick and although her mum tried absolutely everything, she had three blood transfusions, bone marrow biopsey and countless meds, it was no good. Little Velvet didnt make it leaving her mum Noreen and sister Perla devastated. This is a horrible thing to happen at anytime but just before Xmas when you are looking forward to time off with your loved ones, devastating. There is nothing we can do now for little Velvet but we would very much like to take some strain off her mum who has been left with an £8000 debt on her credit cards which will rise with interest. It is the only thing we can do now for her and feel so bad that although money is nothing when it comes to saving your loved pet, to have such a huge bill and still she dies is horrendous. I know it is near Xmas but if anyone can donate please do and if you cant if you could add just one person to the fundraiser it could help. Thank you

This lovely old boy from Greece is looking for a retirement home

So Tony Blackburn made it to the UK yesterday and what a lovely old boy he is. He has spent just about all of his 11 years in a shelter in Greece but now he is here for retirement. It looks like he might be immediately adopted by his foster too, fingers crossed. Thank you to everyone who helped him on his way and to Syros animal shelter and the ladies there.

Remember these two beautiful pups, Ben and Pen, who were abandoned in Greece?
