Attention all Animal Lovers

Hi Tee

I am so sorry to hear about your plight with the puppy. I am going through a very harrowing experience myself with a stray dog. You may have seen the threads and comments about Teabag - his picture is my avatar. Please read the thread on this section called *Please, Please help needed* and one on the Holiday questions section supporting Teabag.

I am highlighting this story for you so that you can see that people DO care about animals on Corfu. The AAWF do a fantastic job helping the dog and cat population on the island. I am caring for Teabag with both practical and financial help from the charity. With their help I will care for Teabag and get him on the road to recovery and again with thier help rehome him later on.

I can't add to what people have said above me. We do try our best and the charity work extremely hard, without pay or gain, to try and make things better. But .... without government help, without the help of the vetenary organisations, without funding and without the support of the Greek (and sometimes English) communities, there is only so much they can do! People are so quick to judge and comment on the situation here but don't help financially or physically. We need to raise awareness and raise cash to get the situation under control. I know of many people that are commited to doing this and do a wonderful job.

Tee, you could help too, as said before by raising awareness and raising financial help. If more people worked together then we could get Corfu back on an even keel regarding the animals. People have to start thinking about their animals, a tiny effort from many people could make a huge difference here, after all it is only a small island, with everyne pulling together we coulod make a fantastic difference.

There is *NO* one stop quick fix, it is going to take time, money and hard work and the people of the AAWF are commited to this plight in every way. However, as things atand, it is a very slow, heartbreaking and thankless task, but they wont give up. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel if more support is forthcoming!
