Natasa Lambrogianni has a dog and cat shelter on Skopelos. She takes care of many animals that need help. She has saved many. Natasa and a couple of volunteers feed the cats and dogs via her non-profit organization Straycare Skopelos, she has cats and dogs neutered and asks of the citizens of Skopelos to do the same. She also tries to have the animals adopted. A friend of Natasa in Athens helps her with the adoptions. If they get adopted they all have proper adoption papers, they have been neutered and they can only be adopted if they will not be chained and not live on balconies or roof terraces. A family would be the best place for them to live. They need to be an equal part of the family Natasa said to me today.
I am talking about Natasa because I saw a wonderful post from her yesterday. Natasa asked everyone who follows her on Facebook and has adopted a dog if they could send in photos of the dogs. They did and these are some of the dogs that have found new homes. I love seeing all the dogs in their new houses with their new owners! Everybody in the posts had their own story about how these animals “men’s best friends” changed their lives and they deserve a place on this blog today, Christmas day.
I admire Natasa, she is hands on, she is there for the animals and takes no cr.p. Many people know her but if you don’t know her and are interested try to find out about her when you are on Skopelos again, talk to her and if you can, help her.
(All these dogs have found a new home!)

Thank you for this message of tenderness towards animals. We have a dog, adopted from a shelter in Belgium. On vacation in Greece we often see stray dogs. What to do ? We come by car, we have borders to cross for the return and the vaccination record would not be complete … And so many dogs in other countries that we cross to come to Greece (in addition to Belgium) have need love and protection! We meet them during our stops on the highway. We give them hugs and water. Thanks to all animal friends!
Lovely pictures! A message of hope in this dreadful time! Have myself had a couple of adopted cats. It is amasing how much love and tenderness they give you in return for food and shelter through their lives. Miss them so much now that they have ended their lives. People like Natasa are wonderful with big hearts!
Stay safe and healthy, Daphne! Lets hope for a much better 2021 both for us humans and for the stray cats and dogs!
Christmas greetings from Stockholm!
Natasa is a wonderful girl, she works tirelessly for the animals on Skopelos and without her there would be a lot more of misery for the poor creatures. I help her with donation both when I’m on the island and away and I know it’s money well spent, I always get a receipt and she posts the bills of the food an vet on FB. If you can help do so it’s for a very good cause. Thank you Daphne for posting this, the photos are lovely and Natasa and her four legged protegees need some extra visibility.
