Our simple mission, to find forever homes!

Finding forever homes.
Stepping Stones is a non-profit animal foster home, for mums and their pups on the island of Kefalonia in Greece. It is our aim to find forever, loving homes as soon as possible locally, Holland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Following the sad passing of our dear founder and owner, Madeline Nineham, we have now changed our mission to finding forever homes for dogs we already have in our care. We no longer take any new animals into Stepping Stones, but will simply be working to find new loving homes for our existing animals, as soon as possible. As soon as we have found homes for all our existing dogs, our mission is complete.

We still need your help?
Whilst our mission is to re-home all of our dogs, we need volunteers, to help us care for the dogs in our care and finding them new homes. People that are a little experienced with dogs and love to spend some time with them.
Stepping Stones team is a crew of hard working local volunteers. Every day a volunteer starts to feed all the animals (dogs and horses) and then continue to let some pups free in the garden, to clean all the pens and fill up the water buckets. A volunteer has an important role in observing our dogs behaviours and care for them to make sure they’re healthy and happy. All work can be done in about 4 to 6 hours, depending what extra’s we deal with.
Who are we looking for?
We are still looking for people who are able to support our residents here at Stepping Stones. As well as looking for people to adopt all our dogs into new, forever homes, we are also always looking for people to foster or sponsor our dogs, to enable us to achieve our mission.
There are several ways you can support, and the information below will help give you a better insight into how it works, and which best suits you and your lifestyle.
Again, if there is any area of adopting, fostering and sponsoring that you would like more information around, please do not hessitate to get in touch with us, and we will do our very best to help.
