Greek Animal Welfare Fund
Social & Welfare Services in London
The work of the Greek Animal Welfare Fund started in 1959 - the year Mrs. Eleanor Close arrived in Greece. But to get a clear picture of how and why GAWF came about we should go back to the beginning. In 1916 the Greek Royal family endorsed a model dog pound in Athens. Following World War II and a devastating civil war in Greece, Mrs Close came to spend time in Greece when her husband, who worked for the British Council was posted to the country.
