The well-known Austrian actress Gabrielle Jacoby and a group of like minded animal lovers, both Greeks and foreigners, founded the Ark in 1997. It was formed primarily to alleviate the suffering of stray and abandoned animals on the island of Corfu. The Ark is a registered charity and is administered by an elected board of trustees who are responsible for the various functions necessary to ensure the smooth running of the organization.

We receive no government funding and rely entirely on volunteers and the generosity of our members and the public for our income, which comes mainly from donations and fund raising activities.

A petition has been set up to support Marjorie Pandis on Corfu. Marjorie has had a shelter in Corfu for many years with most animals being rehomed abroad. She has now been charged and will be taken to court in December, accused of running an illegal animal breeding institution with the aim of selling dogs for financial gain. Suffice to say her accusers, who do not support the rehoming of Greek strays abroad, have been waging a lengthy war against Marj and this is their latest attempt to prevent her from helping strays on the island. There is not doubt that Marj does not need to breed animals. They are regularly thrown over the fence into her shelter area or left outside the gate. Others dogs are brought to her by tourists who desperately want to save the dog they have found. She also gets no financial reward for her work and like the rest of us struggles to find money to care for abandoned animals. Please click here to sign this petition to the Nomarchos of Corfu and you will offer the support to Marj that she has always offered to others when needed.
Update: The court case, originally scheduled for December 7th, has now been postponed.
