Every single day, countless pets find themselves abandoned and left to suffer, leaving animal rescuers overwhelmed with the task of coming to their aid. These remarkable individuals selflessly dedicate their lives to seeking out these helpless animals and providing them with a second chance.

One such incredible rescuer is Takis Proestakis, who has made it his mission to save abandoned dogs on the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. During his routine rounds, Takis stumbled upon a gorgeous little puppy that had been left to fend for itself at a landfill.

This wasn't the first time Takis had encountered such a heart-wrenching sight, but little did he know that this particular encounter would change everything and lead to the creation of Takis Shelter, a safe haven for animals in need. As Takis continued on his way to the shelter, he couldn't turn a blind eye to the desperate cries for help that echoed from the abandoned puppy.

Despite the obstacles he faced and the limited resources at his disposal, Takis knew he couldn't leave this innocent creature behind. He gave the puppy a name, Samu, which represented the strength and resilience he hoped the little one would embody in the future.

Samu, who had once been treated like a worthless object and callously tossed away at the landfill, now had a chance for a brighter future, all thanks to Takis' unwavering determination. Read their story:

As soon as Takis safely retrieves the puppy, he can’t help but admire the little animal. “Look at this beautiful face,” he says, noting that the puppy still has a blue collar on. Takis takes Samu back to his shelter, which is located on a mountainside amidst an olive grove and currently houses 300 dogs.

Samu, a shy and abandoned puppy rescued by Takis, quickly adapts to life at the shelter and starts playing with the other dogs. A visitor from Finland, who fosters dogs for Takis, notices Samu's potential and decides to bring him to her home. Samu finds new friends among two other rescued dogs and begins a happy and fulfilling life with his loving foster family.
