点评:If you are in the Heraklion, Crete, and planning to visit one of the famous attractions in the Gournes–Gouves area (CRETAquarium, Dinosauria Park, the Planetarium, the water park, the local beaches, etc.), please take a few minutes to also stop by the Gournes Animal Shelter. A small act of kindness here can mean the world to an abandoned animal.
The shelter is located on the right side of the road leading from the main road to the aquarium. You’ll find it easily—the barking of the dogs can be heard from a distance.
Even a brief visit can brighten their day: you can spend a moment playing with the cats, offer comfort to a lonely dog who desperately craves affection, or, perhaps most importantly, make a small donation - whether in money or in animal food. For the poor creatures here, every coin, every bag of food, every kind gesture matters.
P.S. You might see some negative reviews online from people who tried to contact the shelter by phone or email and did not receive an answer. If you visit in person, you’ll see just how busy the volunteers are, and you will understand why they cannot always respond quickly to messages.
Peace, and may you enjoy a wonderful vacation!
翻译:如果您正在克里特岛的伊拉克利翁,并计划参观古尔内斯-古韦斯地区的著名景点(克里特岛水族馆、恐龙公园、天文馆、水上乐园、当地海滩等),请花几分钟时间顺便去古尔内斯动物收容所看看。在这里,哪怕只是小小的善举,对一只被遗弃的动物来说,都意义非凡。
收容所位于通往水族馆的主干道右侧。您可以轻松找到它——远处就能听到狗叫声。
即使是短暂的拜访,也能让它们心情愉悦:您可以花点时间陪猫咪玩耍,安慰一只渴望关爱的孤独狗狗,或者,或许最重要的是,捐一点小钱或动物饲料。对于这里可怜的动物来说,每一枚硬币、每一袋食物、每一个善举都意义非凡。
附言:您可能会在网上看到一些负面评论,这些评论来自那些试图通过电话或电子邮件联系收容所但未得到回复的人。如果您亲自去拜访,您就会明白志愿者们有多忙,也会明白为什么他们不能总是快速回复信息。
祝您平安,假期愉快!
