Let's be Smart Inc.

The campaign in Greece aims to promote and educate about animal rights in Greece in addition to helping local stray animal communities.

Our Greece campaign focuses on educational activities, the operation of a 5-star cat rescue facility, finding permanent homes for rescued animals through adoption, and offering a volunteer and veterinary internship programs.

Animals rescued as part of our Greece campaign have found adoptive homes both locally and internationally.

S.M.A.R.T. Family video series for children and adults explain in an educative and yet in fun ways many important facts and topics about our animals, whether they are strays or our pets. It is important for each child, parent or family and furthermore their communities to have a better understanding of our animals in general and also more specifically our stray population to make a more positive environment for both the people and the animals well-being.

The video series are created by a professional videographer and animator dedicated to promoting our visions and passions and they are available in Greek, English and Arabic (we are also translating the videos into other languages upon request).

All our video series contain also statistics, many S.M.A.R.T. tips and animal stories. We offer an educational packages for schools with our video series, printable notebooks (summarizing each video’s content and asking children questions) and suggested activities.

S.M.A.R.T. Yards are community yards that our organization is helping set up throughout local communities and with their agreement. Our yards help promote social responsibility toward strays and help share in the care for the same.

Designed primarily for the benefit of the stray population, the S.M.A.R.T. Yards provide protection, access to daily food and water and medical care when needed. The S.M.A.R.T. Yards help keep the stray population healthier and well taken care of.

The local community will benefit equally as the S.M.A.R.T. Yards keep the stray population under control and they keep the streets more free from strays (which eventually they can be harmed). Designing a fixed frame for taking care of the strays within the S.M.A.R.T. Yards will get local communities united towards a common goal.

Moreover, sterilizing and micro chipping the strays in the S.M.A.R.T. Yards provide the community with the awareness of the place, scope and current situation of the strays group.

Our organization offers a global Volunteer Program for those who wish to come to Greece, help in our Greece campaign cat rescue shelter, gain experience in working with animals and contribute to a good cause.

Let's be S.M.A.R.T. is a non-profit organization and in order to cover all costs associated with running of our rescue facility we rely on private funding and donations. Volunteers are therefore important for our mission to keep on going and they are wholeheartedly welcomed.

Apart of the practical aspects and help offered by volunteers, we strongly believe - and it is our vision as well - that through the act of service the volunteering helps to promote compassion, love, care for animals and their well-being.

In 2021 we launched an all year round Animal Welfare Internship Opportunities for Veterinary Students, Vet Techs/Veterinary Nurses and University Students with Animal Studies and Shelter Management Studies

Our interns come to Greece to learn, to train for their future career and make a difference. They will gain hands-on experience in animal care, shelter medicine, shelter management, animal welfare organization work, animal welfare management in general and much more. Our interns receive guidance from professionals in their field, gain new friends and contacts and experience life in Greece for the people and animals. The internship program includes also an array of fun activities in order to experience local Greece and many of the amazing sites to visit and key ecological projects we help to support.
