GEORGE STRAY DOGS 2023
"We take in the most needy dogs: those who are sick, injured or vulnerable due to age."
- George Orfanidis
George Orfanidis has been rescuing animals in Greece, Crete for over 20 years and has devoted and dedicated his life to making a difference in a world of indifference. He has over 100 dogs that need our help. Speaking only Greek, George managed for many years on a shoestring budget before social media and a small team of volunteers brought his work to a wider audience.

Our Mission
GSD is all about giving an abused animal a second chance at life and to experience what true love is. We take animals that have been tortured, abused and neglected and supply the emergency medical care that is required to get them well. We then supply rehab physically and mentally to prepare them for their new home and new life. We have posted some of the animals we have helped below. Read their stories and experience their journey to survive and thrive.

Know More About
What We Achieved
GSD is an open-admissions shelter and follows the socially conscious sheltering principles. This means we take in animals regardless of age, breed, health, and/or temperament, and place all healthy and behaviorally-sound animals.
We do not euthanize for time or space, nor is there a set time limit for how long a pet can remain in our care while awaiting its forever home.
