Last summer a kind-hearted woman took pity on old Goofy who was suffering a lot from the heat. So she offered to host him in her house until the summer was over. There, a friend of hers met him and that's how the sweet, shy boy  is now spending a golden old age after a life in a pen.. Love and good care  have made him more beautiful and we are so happy when we see him calm, happy and bright.

If you live in Aegina and can host one of our elderly dogs until the hot weather passes, please contact us.

​

The summer months are particularly hard for both the animals and the volunteers because of the extreme heat of the last years.

We work very early in the morning and late at night to get everyone cleaned , fed and watered. During the day we try to keep everything as quiet as possible so that the animals will not get excited, run around and overheat.

Also, there is an increased danger of fire to the pine forests that surrounds us and often the forestry service prohibits entrance to anyone not authorised.

For those reasons, Vrouva Farm is closed to visitors and temporary volunteers during July and August.

Take a look what we do on the farm and how you are helping.

Financially, the last few months have been difficult for Vrouva Farm.Yet, we were hesitant to ask for help, knowing that that the need was more urgent in other places in the world.

However, now we have found a very affordable fundraising tool that can offer us the long term support that we need in order to continue rescuing and caring for the abandoned and abused animals. It is called Teaming and and you participate by donating only 1€ a month!

Please, join our Teaming group by clicking the picture and give Hope and her friends at Vrouva Farm the support and stability they need.( for EU residents only)

Today is the Day of the Tree. 🌳🌲

The heartbreaking pleas of a young girl on behalf of her horse-sister made us put logic aside and all considerations of finances, hay, work, stable space etc and take in yet another beautiful big resident in Vrouva. Upon arrival, Beba was so pleased to see her friends, all the other retired carriage horses, and Angelo in particular.

​

Go to our meet the residents page to meet Beba.

Ipperos Farm needs our help! The grazing lands of the horses were destroyed in the fires of the summer, and with that and covid there has been no support from kind visitors. The owner, Sapfo, could use any donation to help feed the horses and keep them healthy through the coming winter.

​

Ipperos Farm was the source of Vrouvas first equine, Eric, and has been a great mentor in horse care through out the years. Its time to give back for all of the invaluable advice and support they have shown to Vrouva!

Our animals enjoy eating hay and it helps them to keep healthy.This winter we had so little rain that it is now more necessary than ever to buy hay so our animals can keep enjoying the hay. We can get a good price for the hay if we order in bulk. This is the reason why we are asking your help. It would be great if we can raise this money to place a order for 500 bales for the whole year. One bale is €5,-. If you want to help click the picture to go to the donation page. Or contact us for our bank info

We are so happy that most of our cats that we posted on the website found nice homes.
Eli and Paella are still waiting for their new owner. Will you help them in their search?

Our beloved Margarita is not with us any more in the physical realm.She died of colic (and old age) the day after Christmas with the help of our equine vets.
Margarita must have lived over 40 years( the last 11 with us) and was very old. Still, her death was painful and unexpected to all the residents and volunteers of Vrouva Farm.
We buried her next to her soulmate Kitsos and her friend Eric. We like to imagine them reunited, happily grazing on the green fields of heaven.
The sweet memories,the kindness and the love of our beautiful donkey girl will stay with us forever.
Thank you Margarita
