Zaika
Gender: Female
Birthday: January 2019
Zaika had been living for almost 5 years within the airport area in fear of humans who probably have harmed her. Many of her litters have passed from the shelter through time and thankfully have been rehomed but she always remained an elusive creature , like a "Zaika" wild rabbit. Finally the day came that this exhausted mamma with immense persistence was caught and now is enjoying motherhood in the safety of the shelter showing us trust and feeling grateful not to have to fend to keep her pups alive anymore. A big thank you to Fraport Santorini and the Municipality of Santorini for helping us get mamma Zaika and of course to all the dedicated volunteers who never gave up on her and kept feeding her all these years through the fenced area of the airport.
Flox
Gender: Male
Birthday: 2020
Flox hasn’t been at the shelter for long. He currently keeps the old-timer Rocky company, but on walks to the beach, he always joins the mini club. He’s already comfortable wearing a harness and walks well on a leash.
Gina
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 2022
Shoulder height: 55cm
Gina and her buddy Wolfgang literally came to the shelter on their own. We thought they belonged to Akrotiri horse riding and drove them to the Agis Anna Church so they can easily walk to what we thought was their home but 1 h later they were back at the shelter. Both super friendly and easy going.
Flex

Unwanted by his family, he spent his short life chained in a remote field. After police intervention, he was surrendered to SAWA. Despite his past, he has a very gentle character. He is playful, energetic, and gets along well with other dogs.

Sheila
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 2017
The staffy old gal was surrendered as people are still deciding to leave the island facing an unstable tourist season. Sheila is around 7 and clearly has to go on a bit of a diet and exercise mode. Otherwise she is super gentle.
Rocky
Gender: Male
Birthday: 10+ Years old
Rocky joined us recently. It seems his life before the shelter wasn’t the easiest, as you can see healed injuries. To help him adjust, he’s currently bunking with Flox. Despite his past, Rocky is incredibly friendly.
Wolfgang
Gender: Male
Birthday: October 2021
Shoulder height: 55cm
Wolfgang and his buddy Gina literally came to the shelter on their own. We thought they belonged to Akrotiri horse riding and drove them to the Agis Anna Church so they can easily walk to what we thought was their home but 1 h later they were back at the shelter. Both super friendly and easy going.
Bellie
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 2022
Shoulder height: 54cm
She was found with her brother Bingo at the Kamari parking lot by tourists. Bellie is a little shyer than her brother. If you don't pressure her, she will seek contacton her own during the walks. She is a very sweet girl that gets along with all the dogs.
Polar Bears
They are the remaining members of a big group of 4 week old puppies who came in the shelter around spring 2022 as they were born from feral mums and the chances of them surviving in the streets were slim.
They were raised in the "hooman" living quarters of SAWALAND with lots of love from the team and the daily visitors.
And they were also taught "doggie rules" by the pack of oldies who live with us.
They are well socialized, enjoy walks, seize every chance to jump in the water and love the car, they are looking for their forever homes and their very own families...in return they offer their unconditional love, loyalty and gentle nature.
Could you be the one?

Goofys
An attentive and kind island resident noticed the litter and informed Christina. Since the puppies were well-protected, and the lady provided food and fresh water for the mom, we left the puppies with their mother for as long as possible.
The gang is very friendly and open; they eagerly welcome every visitor and appreciate all the attention they receive.
They've been learning the ins and outs of being a dog from our older residents since day one.
It's heartwarming to witness how they integrate into the pack and confidently explore the world.
Most of them found their forever home, but Peewee is still waiting.
Peewee
Gender: Male
Birthday: October 22
Shoulder height: 67cm
Peewee is as gentle as they come. He gets along with everyone and is also careful around smaller dogs. When the puppies went to the beach, he and his brothers came along because we knew they would be gentle and mindful around the little ones.
