<div><strong>​Hi everyone, welcome to our pack!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​If you follow our journey on Instagram or Facebook (@dogsonquad), you know us as the unconventional rescue family navigating the dirt roads, beaches, and hills of the Greek island of Kos on a quad bike. You see the sandy paws, the wind in their fur, and the pure, unfiltered joy of dogs living their best possible lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​What social media only captures in brief moments, however, is the long, challenging journey behind every single wagging tail.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>​From Forgotten Strays to Quad Co-Pilots</strong>
</div>
<div>​Every one of our 6 rescue dogs carries a history. Many of them were found abandoned on the streets of Kos, left behind as puppies, or struggling to survive alone without food, water, or shelter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Instead of letting them face that fate, we opened our hearts and home, turning our space into a permanent sanctuary. <strong>Along with our dogs, our family includes over 30 rescue cats</strong>—stray cats from the island that we feed, sterilize, medicate, and care for every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​For our dogs, the quad bike isn't a gimmick; it is their gateway to freedom. It allows a large pack of former strays to explore nature safely, run freely on quiet beaches, and regain trust in people and the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>​The Reality Behind the Scenes</strong>
</div>
<div>​Running an independent rescue and home sanctuary on a Greek island is a 24/7 labor of love, but the financial strain is relentless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​We do not receive institutional subsidies or large organization funding. Everything comes directly from our personal dedication. In Greece, stray animal welfare faces massive challenges, from severe parasite-borne diseases (like Leishmania and tick fever) to a constant influx of abandoned litters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Right now, our responsibilities and costs have reached a critical level:
</div>
<ul>
<li>​Daily Sustenance: Providing high-quality food, vital nutrition, and clean water daily for 6 dogs and more than 30 cats.
</li>
<li>​Intensive &amp; Senior Medical Care: Several of our rescues are aging and require specialized veterinary care. Right now, our sweet senior Bella is fighting severe complications from sudden-onset diabetes and undergoing critical diagnostics, requiring daily insulin, ongoing blood work, and specialized treatments.
</li>
<li>​Preventative Health &amp; Parasite Control: Monthly flea, tick, and worming treatments are non-negotiable in the Greek climate to prevent deadly diseases, alongside annual vaccinations and regular blood panels.
</li>
<li>Sterilization &amp; Street Animal Support: Continuously sterilizing island cats to break the heartbreaking cycle of homeless litters.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>​How You Can Help Keep Our Pack Moving</strong>
</div>
<div>​We want to keep providing safety, top medical treatment, and joyful quad adventures to these animals for the rest of their natural lives. We cannot do this alone anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
