Last month couriers Shane and Anthony made two trips collecting gorgeous dogs in Greece for their journeys to the UK.
8 dogs from Lemnos to the UK
These delightful dogs from the Lemnos dog shelter travelled with us on behalf of Starlight Barking to their new homes in the UK.

Cute little Romeo

Shy Salome, who was born at the shelter five years ago, when her mum was rescued on the brink of starvation.

Adorable Matilda

Stunning Gordon, a recent arrival at the shelter, found tied to the fence one morning. A smart, loyal and social character.

Winsome Pepper

Darling Vera

Handsome Robin, a small-scale Setter. Like Gordon, he was discovered dumped at the shelter gates one morning.

Dino, another dog dumped at the shelter, travelled with us to new owner Alison in Scotland
June and Jamie, 2 dogs from Greece to Bedfordshire
We collected these two lovelies from Chris’s Animal Hotel in Athens for their journey to the UK and a reunion with their family.

Both dogs love long grass, sunrises and sunbathing

Jamie loves having June keep an eye out for him

A very bonded pair
Jack and Olly, 2 dogs from Greece to Gloucestershire
Another happy pair of dogs, Jack and Olly travelled with us from Athens to rejoin owner Vanessa in the UK.

Always up to something!

These two stick together like glue and watch each other’s backs

Axel, a dog from Greece to Hampshire
We met adorable Axel at Chris’s Animal Hotel in Athens. He travelled with us to his home in Hampshire with Stuart and family.

Axel very happy to be home
Kimbo, a dog from Athens to Scotland
Delightful Kimbo travelled with us from Athens to Glasgow, where owner Lou was excitedly waiting.
Lou wrote to say:
“I am so happy to recommend Animalcouriers!! They are an amazing team! They truly care for the animals they transfer. From the day I booked my dog’s trip from Athens to Glasgow, they were always there to answer my thousands of questions (paperwork, documents, information). The drivers are professionals and they really care for the animals. Shane was amazing, he sent me messages and photos of my dog every day! I am so grateful for this excellent team 😁 Thank you so much for bringing Kimbo here safely and with so much love and care! Definitely recommend to EVERYONE!

What a darling!
Indigo, a dog from Greece to West Sussex
Gentle giant Indigo was also waiting for us at Chris’s Animal Hotel, ready to travel to new owner Jeff in West Sussex. Jeff wrote to say:
“Just wanted to thank you for completing the rescue of Indigo to her forever home with me. I will admit to having been worried throughout the whole process and how Covid, Brexit and TRACES may have impacted your ability to cut through the bureaucracy. However, you did and both Shane and Anthony kept me well informed on the journey all the way to my home. Many thanks to the team.”

Indigo is a very well behaved hound

It always – ALWAYS – makes my day to read about rescues getting their forever homes AND the reuniting of families due to travel……the dogs always look SO HAPPY before, during and after their journeys. That’s because Animal Couriers takes such great care of them!
Pam and Teddy too
Blushing…
What’s not to love about each and every one of these passengers??!!
Bravo to the Animal Couriers teams for going above and beyond the call of dutiful care! Makes me happy to see these fabulous pictures!!
So many people care about these dogs and help find homes.
Gorgeous for sure and all a happy bunch.
Unbelievable that there are still people who dump their animals, but happy that there are also people with a heart who rescue them ♥♥♥ So happy to see all these cuteness around, Annie 🙂 Pawkisses for all of you and safe travels too
Thanks Little B. Luckily there are a lot of people spending time undoing the dreadful treatment of animals.
Gorgeous and such a lovely thank you note, it’s good to have happy customers.
Appreciative notes always go down well with us 😉
They are all gorgeous, I hope they’ll all be very happy.
So far so very good.
