Just look at our gorgeous little Chessy! Could she look any happier?

Not so long ago, Chessy was found wandering alone in the busy centre of Myrina on Lemnos. We don't know how she ended up there, but we do know she was lucky enough to be spotted by one of our wonderful volunteers, who took her home to foster her rather than let her face life in the shelter.

And now look at her! Exploring her new surroundings, enjoying the autumn leaves and discovering what life should be all about.

These beautiful photos say so much. A little dog who could so easily have been overlooked is now safe, loved and enjoying the world around her.

But there are still so many lovely dogs back at Lemnos dog shelter waiting for their own chance.

Every adoption starts with someone seeing a photo, reading a story or sharing a post. You might not be able to offer a home yourself, but you could help the dog who needs one reach the person who can.

Please keep following, liking and sharing our dogs' profiles.
Share them with friends, family and dog-loving groups. Your share really could be the one that changes a life.

One little dog at a time. One happy ending at a time. Let's help more of them experience what Chessy has found 🐶❤️

Imagine growing up with your brother by your side, sharing your days, your games and all those little moments that make life feel familiar.

Then one day, your brother leaves for his forever home.

We’re so happy that Fonzie is off to begin his new life, but back at the shelter, Figaro is still waiting for his own happy ending. And we can’t help wishing that his turn would come, too.

Born in March 2025, Figaro has spent almost his entire life at the shelter. He’s a gorgeous, playful, curious young boy with a heart full of love and a serious talent for cuddles!

He loves other dogs, has grown up around cats and, once he’s out enjoying a walk, shows just how calm and well-mannered he can be. He’s got so much life ahead of him, adventures to enjoy, new places to explore and a sofa somewhere with his name on it.

Figaro has spent so much of his young life waiting. Now we want him to discover what Fonzie is about to experience: a family of his very own.

Could you be the person who gives Figaro his chance?
Please share his story….You might not be able to adopt him, but someone who sees your share might be exactly the person he’s been waiting for. Please share to your friends, family and dog-loving groups and help us get Figaro seen.

Ribo is ready to be someone's best friend. He just needs someone to give him that chance ❤️

Our handsome Ribo has been sharing his shelter home with Carmen and Velvet, and the three have become their own little family.

Now Velvet has found her forever home and will soon be leaving for a new life. We're delighted for her, but we would love nothing more than to see Ribo find his own family, too.

Ribo has so much to give.
He's affectionate, playful and wonderfully gentle with people. He loves his walks, walks beautifully on the lead and is a clever boy who enjoys learning. He's the kind of dog you can imagine taking on countryside adventures, teaching new tricks, and then sharing a sofa with at the end of the day.

He needs someone to do life with.
Someone to take him on walks, celebrate his little achievements, get to know his personality and make him part of their everyday world.
Ribo would suit an experienced home that understands bigger, intelligent dogs and can give him the exercise, guidance and companionship he needs. He's also looking for a cat-free home.

He's spent far too long waiting for his chance to belong to someone.

Could you be the person who turns Ribo from a shelter dog into a much-loved member of the family?

Please share his post, tag someone who might be a perfect match, and help us get this lovely boy seen.
For adoption enquiries email: [email protected]

His next chapter is waiting. Let's help him find it. 🐾❤️

MEET MARTHA…SMALL DOG, BIG HEART, SO MUCH LIFE LEFT TO LIVE❤️

Just look at that cheeky face!

At eight years young and a perfectly manageable 12kg, Martha is a gorgeous little girl with a zest for life that will make you smile.

She loves people, enjoys her walks, gets along well with other dogs and isn’t interested in chasing cats. She has energy, personality and plenty of adventures still waiting to be had. She could be just the companion for someone who wants a dog past the puppy chaos but still full of fun!

Sadly, Martha has never known what it means to have a proper home.
She spent her early years living in a small, confined space with an elderly man. She’s never lived inside a house, never had that special place on the sofa, or known the simple joy of going out for a walk and then coming home to her very own family.
Just imagine being the person who
shows her all those things for the first time.

Martha will need a little patience as she learns about home life, but she’s a friendly, confident girl with so much to give. And that little half-tail? It just makes her even more special!

Eight years is far too long to have lived such a small life. We want the rest of Martha’s life to be full of love, comfort, walks, adventures and a family who adores her.

Could you be the person who gives Martha her happy ever after?

Please share her post. Somewhere out there is someone who would love a dog just like Martha, they just need to find her.

For adoption information, please contact [email protected]

Let’s get this lovely girl out of the shelter and into the home she’s never had. ❤️

Laurita is waiting for somewhere to belong. Can you help us find her home?

Just look at that face. Those little white socks, that wonderfully long body and a smile that seems to say, “Hello! Are we going to be friends?” ❤️

Laurita is around two years old, and she's ready for someone to discover just how lovely life can be with her in it.

She's friendly, easy-going, happy around people and good with other dogs. She's the sort of girl we can imagine pottering along on a walk with you, settling happily into family life and making herself completely at home on the sofa.
She doesn't need a grand adventure every day or a life that's perfect. She just needs someone to give her what she's been missing: a home of her own, a person to love and the certainty that she belongs.
Laurita was found wandering in a village, wearing an old, dirty collar. We don't know where she came from or what happened to the person she may once have belonged to. Nobody came looking for her, and now she's waiting at the Lemnos shelter for someone new to choose her.
She's only around two. She has so much life ahead of her, so many little moments of happiness still to discover.
Please don't let Laurita be the dog you scroll past without sharing. ❤️
You might not be the person who can adopt her, but someone who sees your share might be. It could be a friend, a family member, or someone who's been thinking about adopting and simply hasn't met their dog yet.

Let's help Laurita find them. For adoption information, email [email protected]

Her person is out there somewhere. Let's help them find each other. ❤️

There’s something about a hound, isn’t there? ❤️

Those soulful eyes, those beautiful ears, that extraordinary nose and a character all of their own.

Meet Greta.
At around two years old, this gorgeous Greek hound has all the makings of a wonderful adventure companion. She's friendly, sociable, fantastic with other dogs and always ready to explore.

If you know and love hounds, you'll understand that the world is full of fascinating smells, interesting trails and places that simply must be investigated.

Greta is ready for all of it.
She needs someone who loves the great outdoors as much as she does.
Someone who enjoys countryside walks, woodland trails and watching a dog's nose lead the way.
Her strong hunting instincts mean she'll need a cat-free home, and a secure space where she can safely stretch those lovely long legs would be wonderful.

Greta was found by tourists, and when nobody came forward to claim her, she came to the Lemnos shelter.

This girl has a whole lifetime of adventures ahead of her. She just needs someone to share them with.
Someone who looks at those hound eyes and sees exactly what we see: a beautiful, bright, affectionate dog with so much to give.
If Greta is your kind of dog, please email: [email protected] to find out about adoption. If not, please share and help us find the person who's been waiting for a girl just like her.

Some dogs just have that little bit of magic. Carmen is one of them. ❤️

She's the one who makes you smile when you walk through the gate. The one who greets you like you're the best thing that's happened all day. The one who looks after her friends, shares her love so freely and somehow makes everyone feel special.

She's around four years old, full of affection, wonderful with people and a little dog with an enormous heart.

And if you see her with her best friend Velvet, you'll understand why we adore her so much. When Velvet feels unsure, Carmen is there. When Velvet needs confidence, Carmen quietly gives it. She's the friend everyone deserves to have.

But there's something about Carmen's story that breaks our hearts.
Before she came to Lemnos, she spent her life chained up, living in terrible conditions and raising puppies. She had every reason to be frightened of people, to keep her distance, to stop trusting.

But she didn't.

Instead, she became this joyful, affectionate little soul who still believes people are worth loving.

And for three years, she's been waiting for someone to love her back in the way she deserves.

We dream of Carmen finally having her own home. Her own sofa. Her own person to greet at the door. No more waiting for the volunteers to arrive, no more watching other dogs leave for their new lives.
Just the simple, beautiful feeling of belonging.
We want Carmen to have the happy ending she's waited so patiently for.

We are sure there's a home with a Carmen-shaped space in it❤️

Could you be the person who finally makes her somebody's beloved girl?

For adoption information, please email [email protected]

Please share Carmen. Three years is a long time to wait for someone to call you theirs.
Please help us find them for her ❤️

YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND MIGHT JUST BE HERE! ❤️

Meet Marshello…
Just look at this gorgeous boy!

Those eyes, that beautiful face and a personality all of his own. How is Marshello still waiting for someone to choose him?

Marshello arrived at the shelter in January 2023. He was around three then, and he’s now almost six. Three years of watching other dogs find their families while he waits for his turn.

He’s a social, charming chap who enjoys the company of female dogs. He needs careful introductions to males, cannot live with cats, and would be happiest in a quieter home, ideally near the countryside, with lovely walks and someone to share them with.
Older children aged 15+ would be best, as he prefers not to be fussed over like a baby!

Marshello is looking for someone who appreciates his character, respects his boundaries and gives him the home he’s been missing for far too long.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.

His person might not follow us, might not even know he exists yet, but one share could help them find each other.

If Marshello could be the missing piece of your family please contact: [email protected] for adoption information.
