Hanna's Story

Hanna arrived in Corfu, Greece a year and a half ago looking forward to devoting her life to animal welfare and in particular to the stray dogs that the island has become notorious for neglecting. Wide-eyed and eager to make a real difference, Hanna built from scratch a complete dog sanctuary with everything from a large fenced off forest for the dogs to explore to a doggy swimming pool. The shelter was to provide temporary shelter for dogs collected by the Ark, an animal welfare organization on the island. Before Hanna could even finish furnishing her own caravan, she found herself caring for over 10 new dogs. More dogs arrived every week, and it became necessary to build more fences and to make additional improvements to the shelter. Hanna worked day and night feeding, cleaning up after, grooming, and providing medical care to the dogs who at one time had no hope of even surviving, much less having their own swimming pool to splash around in! When she wasn't caring for the dogs, she was gathering supplies and seeking donations to help pay for them. Having no time to search for new homes for the dogs, Hanna now provides safe lodging for over 50 dogs.

Hanna has suffered an injury to her neck which makes it impossible to care for the dogs on her own, since the job involves lifting kilos upon kilos of dog food and waste. To make matters worse, she has exhausted all of her financial resources and has destroyed her credit buying dog food, dog houses, fences, rain shelters, gravel, vaccines, and countless other supplies. For this reason, Hanna can no longer maintain the shelter and is planning to leave Corfu to seek work sometime this spring. She has no other choice but to leave some of the dogs behind. This blog is dedicated to making sure that the dogs living at Hanna's place find loving new homes!
