About us

What is the primary focus and mission of Corinthia Animal Rescue (C.A.R.)?

Fauna encompasses all animal life within a specific region or timeframe, while the term “flora” refers to plant life. Together with fungi and other life forms, they are collectively known as biota. Urban wildlife comprises species capable of surviving or flourishing in urban environments, with some becoming entirely reliant on humans.

Corinthia Animal Rescue is a local, non-profit animal welfare organization operating in Corinth since 2013. Registered under charity number 1591, C.A.R. is dedicated to the care and welfare of animals in need.

Our main goals are:

Enforcing current legislation.

Increasing awareness within society, particularly among children.

Rescuing as many animals as possible from the streets or from situations of abuse.

All the pet animals abandoned in urban areas by irresponsible owners reproduce and eventually, create issues for some of our community members. Regrettably, some individuals resort to illegal methods to get rid of them. The significant challenge lies in altering people’s attitudes toward animal and environmental concerns.

Rescuing as many animals as possible from the streets or from situations of abuse is our top priority.

Our primary focus involves providing food, medical treatment for the sick and injured, sterilization, and facilitating responsible adoptions for street animals. Our dedicated volunteers tirelessly care for numerous stray animals, often encountering cases of injury, poisoning, abuse, and abandonment on a daily basis.

It’s evident that our local community expects support from an animal welfare organization. However, it’s also clear that no single group can address all these incidents with its limited resources alone.

It’s crucial for each of us to contribute as much as possible. We want to emphasize that simply making an “animal-friendly” phone call might ease consciences but it doesn’t solve the problem or reflect a responsible attitude toward it. Instead, it continues to burden a few dedicated volunteers who exert significant effort.

The organization is primarily dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and providing temporary shelter for pets until they are adopted. C.A.R. comprises a dedicated group of individuals whose primary goal is to enhance the living conditions of stray animals and address environmental protection issues. While our initial focus may be on the care of numerous stray pets in Corinth, the organization’s overarching objective is to expand its activities as more members and volunteers join. This includes ensuring the welfare of all pets and wildlife, as well as safeguarding the environment.

Application of the current legislation:
Our extensive observations over the years have led us to the firm conclusion that, although the law theoretically supports animal rights and environmental protection (with room for improvement, of course), authorities often fail to enforce it in practice.
C.A.R. is dedicated to leveraging all available resources to advocate for the enforcement of laws. We collaborate closely with local authorities to address practical challenges and ensure effective implementation of regulations.

Raising Awareness in Society, Especially Among Children:
Through actions such as school visits, workshops, and events, as well as utilizing various mass and social media platforms, our goal is to raise awareness and shift societal attitudes toward animals. We aim to inspire compassion and empathy among our fellow citizens, particularly focusing on educating and engaging children in these efforts.
