Hectors House Crete

Welcome to Hectors House Crete

Welcome to Hectors House Crete. Hectors House Crete a not for profit organisation. Our aim is to help stray dogs and cats from our area by providing them with a safe environment until they can be re-homed. Some of the cats will have a forever home here as they are feral and cannot be re-homed.

We started constructing Hectors House Crete in July 2010 and finally finished in April 2011. Hectors House Crete is situated on the edge of a pine forest just above the village of Vathi, near Agios Nikolaos, Crete.

Here we have special pens to house dogs individually, isolation pens , an exercise area and a large cat cage. Dotted around Hectors' House Crete there are small wooden houses which provide shelter for the cats during the winter months.

The purpose of this website is to make people aware of the plight of animals on Crete. To show you what we do and how we help these poor creatures. It's also a means to help raise much needed funds in various ways. Only so much money can be raised locally so we need to find other ways of raising the much needed cash required to feed, medicate and re-home the strays that come to Hectors House Crete.

Please take the time to look through the website and if you can help in anyway we and all at Hectors' House Crete would be very grateful.

Jo - Adopted May 2012

It was the morning of Christmas Eve when we arrived at Hectors House to find 3 boxes.....and a tin of dog food.

Guess what....a present from the Greek Gods.....3 puppies!!!!!

Here we have Jo (someone suggested we call the puppies Jesus, Joseph and Mary).
Jo is a girl and will only grow up to be a medium sized dog with a short coat.

Jo was adopted in May 2012

Virtual Pets

At Hectors House Crete we try and re-home the dogs and some of the cats that we rescue, but sometimes due to health problems etc we cannot do this. As a result of this HHC will become their forever home. Obviously there is a cost involved in providing a forever home for these animals so for a small donation weekly, monthly or annually you can have your own 'virtual' pet.

Dennis (The Menace)

Here he is Dennis (the Menace).......he surely lives up to his name.
Dennis is one of those cats that just loves to get involved with everything. He is so noisy.......When we are doing any work at HHC Dennis is there inspecting everything and generally lending a helping paw!
He has been featured in many of our newsletters.
Dennis is best friends with little Titch and they are both always up to mischief!

Honey

Honey is one of two puppies abandoned in a car park in Makri Gialis. This car park is a popular place for the Greeks to abandon/poison the dogs, so these little ones were very lucky.

Honey, a female, was born in November 2011 and will be a medium sized dog when fully grown. Honey is smaller and not quite as outgoing as her sister, but just loves to be cuddled and tickled.

If you feel you could adopt Honey, please contact us.

Maybe you cannot adopt honey, but would like to sponsor her until she is adopted.
If you would like to sponsor her please click here to visit our donations page.

Adopt a Dog

Here at Hectors House Crete there are always dogs for adoption. Most of our dogs go to Holland through Mirtos Animal Project, but they can be prepared to travel anywhere as long as the costs are met by the adoptee.
