SPAZ is a registered charity (Athens Court 773/1987) that operates in the southern suburbs ofAthens, based in Glyfada. It is
run entirely by volunteers, led by a committee of five executive members, and 90% of the income is spent on neutering
animals and providing emergency veterinary services. SPAZ concentrates on working as an effective local group,
cooperating with local authorities, other animal welfare groups and citizens, in the common goal of stray animal population
control.

Since 1987, SPAZ has neutered more than 21,000 cats and dogs. The aim of SPAZ is to control the stray animal population
by neutering and homing as many stray cats and dogs, as possible. We encourage responsible pet ownership; we have
produced leaflets on a number of topics, and they are available free of charge.

SPAZ is opposed to the use of animals in experiments, animals in zoos, circuses, animals in, animals kept in cages in bars,
animals sold in pet shops, chained dogs, dogs constantly kept on balconies, inhumane transport of farm animals, inhumane
practices in slaughter houses, inhumane treatment of farm animals, hunting, the use of all snares and traps which cause
suffering, the use of poisons on animals, the abandonment of pets on the streets, the trade in wild animals, organized dog
fights, dog races, bull fighting, farming of animals for their fur and cruelty to animals in general.

We work on the street; we have no shelter and we are opposed to operating such a shelter; we have neither office nor any
clinic. We focus on working in local neighbourhoods, providing resources to its members to enable them to help the animals
in their area through private vets.

Our income is generated from memberships, monthly car boot sales, donation boxes in various shops and a 2 day annual
Christmas Bazaar.

SPAZ has distributed thousands of brochures throughout the country to animal welfare groups and individuals on a number
of topics (
see our brochures page). We are dedicated to educating the new generation in Greece in responsible animal welfare,
to working with other animal welfare groups on national issues, to add our voice to protests against cruelty towards animals
and the banning of animal circuses in Greece.

Our members are our strength.

If you are a member of SPAZ you have probably neutered some animals.
You should be proud.

As of the end of 2009, we have neutered about 21,000 cats and dogs!

We have done well.  
There is more work to do.

The situation for stray animals in Greece has changed since we began in 1987 -
but let’s face it, it is still far from good.

What have
you done for
a stray today?

We know that
our members
are busy
rescuing
strays,
feeding
strays,
neutering
strays,
looking after
strays - what
we don't
know are the
details!  So
we are asking
our members
to tell us.  

Send us a
few
sentences
about what
you did for a
stray today
(or
yesterday),
and we'll post
it on our
website!
Click here to
send us your
story today!!

Perhaps
reading about
what you did
for a stray
might inspire
someone else
to do the
same.

Let's
celebrate all
the great
things we are
all doing for
the animals!!


It has come to our
attention that some
websites of other
animal welfare
societies claim that
SPAZ's
neutering program
for members is for
both stray animals
and owned pets.  

WE wish to correct
this statement.

SPAZs neutering
program, with special
prices from our vets,
is for stray animals
only.  

Of course, sometimes
a member will neuter
a stray animal and
then home it or
decide to keep it.  
That is another
matter.  

But the neutering
program has been
set up to neuter
strays only.

ATTENTION - URGENT
CAR BOOT SALE POSTPONED UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE

Dear members and friends,

We have just been informed by the local
authorities that new circumstances and law
changes do not allow us to continue to use
the old Olympic Airways parking for our car
boot sale, with immediate effect. We will try to
find an alternative as soon as possible. In the
meantime as from 30/5/2010 the car boot sale
is postponed until further notice.



ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ - ΕΠΕΙΓΟΝ
ΤΟ ΠΑΖΑΡΙ ΑΝΑΒΑΛΛΕΤΑΙ ΜΕΧΡΙ
ΝΕΟΤΕΡΗΣ ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗΣ

Αγαπητά μέλη και φίλοι,

Μόλις πληροφορηθήκαμε από την ΚΕΔ
(Κτηματική Εταιρία Δημοσίου) ότι νέα
δεδομένα και αλλαγή του νόμου δεν μας
επιτρέπει πια να χρησιμοποιούμε το
πάρκινγκ  του παλαιού αεροδρομίου της
Ολυμπιακής για το μηνιαίο παζάρι μας, με
άμεση εφαρμογή. Θα προσπαθήσουμε να
βρούμε μία εναλλακτική τοποθεσία Το
δυνατό συντομότερο. Στο μεταξύ από την
30-5-2010 το παζάρι αναβάλλεται μέχρι
νεότερης  ανακοίνωσης.





ERLI is still waiting for a home.  He would be perfect for an older couple
who want companionship from a mature dog.  He really is quite lovable.
