ABOUT US
Where Friendships Begin, One Paw at a Time
The Souda shelter was founded in October 2011 by a well known animal activist of this area. In June of 2016, this activist without official notice but with a post to Facebook, cut off all ties with her shelter stranding 250 animals with the excuse that she wished to downsize her obligations. That is when the Souda Shelter Project was born.
