The structure can accommodate up to 300 pets
In the area of Tripoli, where mainly in the villages of its municipality, stray animals, dogs and cats are literally starving, the municipality of the city has completed one of the most modern shelters, even organizing a veterinary clinic, where stray animals can be treated and even operated on .
The structure can accommodate up to 300 pets while it has offices, but also everything that the legislation provides (veterinary inspection, healthy sterilization, treatment, marking of animals, adoption, etc.).
It includes sheltered living areas for the animals, with water and food containers and additional plastic houses for extra protection. Also a closed building that houses the shelter’s reception area, the staff office, storage areas, while the doctor’s office and the animal hospital were organized there.
The clinic will be able to carry out veterinary procedures and surgeries, since it meets all the conditions for such a thing (equipment, consumables – operating table and light, dry sterilization oven, ultrasonic sterilization tool set, etc.).
At the shelter of the municipality of Tripoli, where a consecration took place in the presence of the municipal authority and self-governing actors, representatives of the media were also invited to see up close the completion of the project that began two years ago and was completed with the operation of the veterinary clinic.
The project began with the submission of the Municipality’s proposal to the Philodimos I program in 2020, it was implemented in two phases in 2021 and 2023, with the result that, finally, the municipality has a modern municipal shelter for stray animals.
The mayor of Tripoli, Kostas Tzioumis, said: “The organization of such a space is a challenge for every Municipality and is a bet for further development. That’s why, in collaboration with local animal welfare associations, but also with pan-Hellenic scope (save a Greek stray, zero stray academy), actions are organized for information, more sterilizations, adoptions, support and care of strays”.
The budget of the project was 300,000 euros. It should be noted that the first actions for the municipality of Tripoli to acquire this structure began during the late mayor Dimitris Pavlis.
