Funded: Help Emaciated Dog Who Was Waiting to Die Get Care He Needs

Update Coming SOON!

URGENT: An animal welfare crisis in Greece has left thousands of dogs on the brink.

In late 2023, Greater Good Charities and The Animal Rescue Site started helping groups working in the city of Xanthi, Greece, to rescue and care for over 600 sick and starving animals living in a municipal rubbish site.

Since then, we have learned that the number of homeless dogs in the region around Xanthi number is in the thousands! We need your continued support to save lives. Together, we have provided food, specialist medical care, funded high quality spay-neuter services to reduce the number of dogs, and supported foster and adoption for dozens of pets.

But there are many more who still need our help; like Anton.

Help Anton Get Treatment He Needs

Location: Greece

Breed: Mix

Age: Adult

Medical Problem: Malnutrition, mange, starvation

Treatment: Medication and ongoing care

Anton was called "ghost" by his rescuers because he was so thin and missing all his fur that you could barely see him among the piles of garbage at the dump. They finally managed to capture him.

You could see every rib in his body and he quickly devoured a bowl of food. Once he realized he was finally safe, he slept for days.

He has a long road to recovery and needs our help to heal.

So many are dying. These poor, innocent dogs are scared, starving, and many have never known the love and comfort of a safe home. Many, because of illness, will never have the chance. We need your help to save them.

need your help NOW! Donate to give these pups a fighting chance.

We're actively responding to this crisis. We’re working with local rescues to provide care and treatment to these pups.
