Ann: President and founder member.

She is very much the driving force behind our organization working tirelessly on the "hands-on" and organizational side, liaising with Arche Noah and others. She is the main contact for emergency cases; makes innumerable trips every year transporting dogs to the airport and vets; fosters puppies, is one of the volunteers who feed, water and clean the dogs and puppies and is also involved in all fund-raising activities.

Pete: Vice President.

English, has been living in Crete for 8 years. His "roving commission" with FOTA includes writing and publishing our newsletter; sharing the administration work with Ann; maintaining the feeding stations; fund raising and generally stepping in to help wherever he can. He has fostered adult dogs in the past and fosters puppies which are too young to go into the compound.

Sue: Secretary.

English, has been living in Crete for 8 years with husband, Pete, (Vice President). She is involved in fostering and fund raising and in particular our Market Stall which she set up in 2006 and runs with the help of her friend, Sandie, every Friday morning during the tourist season. Their outgoing personalities have attracted the attention of passing tourists resulting in much-needed additional funds by way of donations and the sale of small animal-related items.

Sandie:

She helps our secretary, Sue, run the market stall and is involved with fund raising activities and the occasional transportation of dogs to the airport.
