mara mea founder Dorina talks about her second home Greece, animal welfare, dog adoptions and hope

@savegreekstrays

As beautiful as our second home Greece is - the sea right on our doorstep, the incredibly impressive nature, the scent of orange blossoms, endless olive groves - there is still a long way to go when it comes to animal welfare and people's attitudes towards animals.

"Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever"

Why am I sharing this post here? Whenever I'm not working on mara mea, a lot of time and heart and soul goes into our private shelter @savegreekstrays, where we offer 40+ dogs, numerous cats, 2 ponies, turkeys, and ducks a safe place, food, medical care, love, and more until we hopefully find them the forever home they deserve.

Have you and your family been thinking about adopting a dog or cat from an animal shelter? Want to give your furry friends a safe, loving forever home? Then I'm glad you've read this far :) In this blog post, I'll introduce all the dogs currently looking for a forever home. #dogadoption #adoptdog

Dalia - born approx. 12/2021

Dalia is a young and shy dog, who initially requires a lot of love and patience with strangers. Once she trusts you, however, she reveals herself to be a lively, playful dog. We found her in the summer at 45°C, kept on a very short chain without water, and she was probably kept like this for her entire first year. She was extremely scared and has since blossomed beautifully. On Instagram, you can see videos of her now playing exuberantly with other dogs and being completely herself. She needs to be welcomed into a new environment with love and patience. She would make a great second dog, as she is very sociable and looks up to other dogs.
