LAKA
SETTER
FEMALE
1 YR; 21 LBS
ORIGIN: LAMIA
FOSTERED IN ILLINOIS
Laka is a petite, cuddly little princess of a setter. She was nervous and shy when she first arrived to our partner rescue in Greece, but now she is happy, friendly and playful. She loves cuddles with her person and is not at all shy about launching herself into your lap for a hug. She will play and frolic with the other dogs and gets along well with all of them, but she gets a little nervous if too many of them chase her. She really loves her people.
HARVEY
SETTER
MALE
4 YRS; 42 LBS
ORIGIN: AGRINIO
FOSTERED IN OHIO
Harvey came from a very rough municipal shelter in Agrinio. When he first arrived to the rescue in Greece, he was extremely thin and they thought he was an old fellow because he was in rough condition and barely moved at all in the play yard. As he has been rehabilitated and loved, he has gained weight and now runs and plays. He is still a sweet and gentle soul, but his energy has returned, and he now looks and acts his age. He is a lovely and friendly boy with dogs, cats and humans!
ZEPHYR
SETTER
MALE
1.5 YRS; 40 LBS
ORIGIN: IOANNINA
FOSTERED IN GEORGIA
Zephyr has been waiting a long time for his home in the USA. He is a friendly, happy and playful dog who also loves his humans. When he first arrived at our partner rescue in Greece, he was not neutered and pretty hyper. He’s settled down beautifully now and gets along with all the other dogs. He likes to run and romp, and loves attention!

ADOPTED!
Brittany
Female
3 years old (approx.)

Brenna was found in Mesologio, Greece tied up with a chain that was so tight it cut through her skin almost half the way around her neck. She was rushed to the vet where they surgically removed the chain, cleaned the wound and stitched her back together.
Brenna is very friendly and smart. She is a small but high energy Brittany who loves to run and play! When she’s done with that, she loves to cuddle up with you.
Brenna is being fostered in Rochester, NY and is fully healed from her wounds. She is doing great with her foster friends and settled into the home very quickly.
ABBY
