Today we took a morning trip to the SAWA dog shelter here in Santorini. They currently house approximately 95 dogs of all sizes. Its actually really cute..they have pens where they are kept; the A-team, TerrorVille, MiniClub, and Pointers. :)
After learning a bit about the shelter we were able to visit each ville/club, a donkey/mule/horse area, and then able to walk dogs down to the beach!
We each got to choose our size dog, (I chose a little guy, so he wasn't dragging me the whole way!) and we were able to spend about an hour or so walking with them to the beach. There was a group of 30+ of us so I'm sure you can imagine a large group of kids/dogs walking along!
Anyway, there is SO much more to tell you about. The shelter is brand new. In fact, its one of the only in Greece and the only on the island of Santorini.
But get this; they don't have animals as companions here. Animals are work animals, not play mates, or friends, or...anything like what we have our animals for back home. Think about your pet? You don't stray them because they become useless for you do you? Well, here...they do. It baffles me!!
It makes me sad thinking about it, so I better just go ahead and show you my photos.
