DASH Dogs Emergency Food Fund: From Hungry to Happy!

Due to the huge increase in the price of dog food, the ever-growing number of dogs in desperate need, and the fact that the DASH Dogs Rescue Shelter is full to bursting point, there is just not enough money to buy all the food needed to feed the dogs and puppies at the DASH Dogs Rescue Shelter.

Please help us to raise money for the DASH Dogs Emergency Food Fund: From Hungry to Happy! Every single penny donated will go to help the dogs and puppies at DASH Dogs. Thank you for your support.

Saving Lives at DASH Dogs

The DASH Dogs Rescue Shelter is the largest, licensed dog shelter in Greece. The charity is run entirely by volunteers and is totally dependent on donations and sponsorship.

Led by founder Katerina, the DASH Dogs team cares around the clock for hundreds and hundreds of abused, homeless, starving, sick, injured and elderly dogs as well as many abandoned puppies. Many would not survive without Katerina's care and determination.

The team are called out daily to make life-saving rescues of desperate dogs who have been hit by cars, locked up, starved, shot or abused.

The shelter is overcrowded and Katerina often has to make the difficult decision of whether to buy food or medicine for the dogs. Resources are extremely limited and conditions are challenging.

No animal is ever turned away from DASH and the shelter is also home to a DASH donkey, 10 DASH cats and a growing number of DASH chickens.

DASH stands for 'Dream of A Safe Haven' and it is the team's mission to provide safety for any dog (or donkey, cat or chicken) in need.

Katerina lives on site and cares for the DASH animals throughout the day and night with her team of dedicated volunteers.They provide desperately needed love, care, comfort, water, food, shelter, medicine and veterinary treatments to save as many lives as they can.

Picking up poo also features highly on the volunteers' list of essential tasks!

The DASH Dogs Rescue Shelter is located in the Peloponnese region of Greece where temperatures soar in the summer and plummet in the winter, providing harsh conditions for any dog on the street and also for the volunteers working at the shelter.

The charity's long-term aim is to continue to work alongside the local municipalities in Greece to neuter, chip and release healthy dogs so that they can be monitored and protected.

The DASH Dogs team is also committed to delivering educational programmes in schools so that young people in Greece can learn the importance of caring for and respecting all animals.

DASH Dogs is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales with charity number 1185749.
