Special Secretariat for the Protection of Companion Animals: Guidelines for the release of animals

The Special Secretariat for the Protection of Companion Animals informs that anyone who finds a trapped animal that find it impossible for him/her to rescue themselves, or who needs trucks or an ambulance to rescue a large number of animals, should immediately call the official telephone numbers of the Hellenic Ministry of Health and Welfare 213 1364020 or 213 1364935.

The rescue operation is carried out in collaboration with Civil Protection, the Greek Police, the Fire Brigade, municipalities, animal welfare organizations and volunteers.

In addition, anyone who needs access in order to rescue animals or intends to rescue animals with their own vehicle in cooperation with the Special Secretariat can call the official telephone numbers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 213 1364020 or 213 1364935.


At the same time, the Non-Profit Organization Dogs' Voice puts into operation the PALAI fire station in Galatsi, which accepts animals that have been injured or are in danger. The space is granted once again by the Municipality of Galatsi and the mayor Giorgos Markopoulos, whom we thank again for the perfect cooperation. Arriving pets must be known from where they were picked up and will be registered with a separate code.

As far as "productive" animals are concerned, there is a relevant cooperation of the Special Secretariat with a collaborating shelter. Upon consultation with her, productive animals in need can be transported there.
