Why

should I

adopt a pet?

Choosing to adopt a pet from “Strays of my soul” Ierapetra Animal Shelter in Crete, Greece, is a decision that goes beyond welcoming a new furry family member. Here are compelling reasons why adopting a shelter pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences:

Save a Life: By adopting, you’re giving a second chance to an animal in need. You become their hero, providing them with a loving home they might not have otherwise had.
Unconditional Love: Shelter pets are known for their gratitude and loyalty. They often form incredibly strong bonds with their new families, offering boundless affection and companionship.
Variety of Choices: Our shelter offers a diverse selection of dogs and cats, each with their own unique personality, size, and breed. You’re sure to find the perfect match for your lifestyle and preferences.
Healthcare and Vaccinations: Our shelter ensures that all animals are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and receive necessary medical care. Your adopted pet will likely be healthier and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Combat Overpopulation: By adopting, you’re helping reduce the number of stray and abandoned animals on the streets. This is a crucial step in controlling overpopulation and improving the well-being of all animals.
Embrace a Unique Story: Each shelter pet comes with their own story of resilience and hope. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of their journey and watch them flourish in a loving home.
Feel Good: The joy of providing a forever home to a shelter pet is immeasurable. Knowing that you’ve made a positive impact on an animal’s life can bring immense satisfaction and happiness.
