Papagos & Cholargos

Local Info

Papagos and Cholargos form a single municipality — the Municipality of Papagou-Cholargou. Its Public Health Promotion Department (Stray Animal Care Office) runs the local programme for stray dogs and cats: collection, veterinary care, sterilisation, vaccination, microchipping and adoption.

Stray or injured animal on the road

  1. Keep yourself safe first — pull over, switch on hazard lights and stay clear of traffic.
  2. If the animal is injured, call the municipality's Stray Animal Care Office. They arrange collection and treatment through the municipality's contracted vets.
  3. If the animal is causing a danger to traffic, or it is out of office hours, call the Municipal Police or the local police station. In an emergency, dial 100.
  4. Note the exact location (street and nearest junction) and, if safe, take a photo to send with your report.

Sterilisation & care of strays

The municipality offers free sterilisation, vaccination, deworming and microchipping for stray dogs and cats living in Papagos and Cholargos. Treatment is carried out by the municipality's partner vets.

  1. Download or collect the request form from the Public Health Promotion Department.
  2. Submit it at the municipal registry (protocol) office, or email it to protocol@dpapxol.gov.gr or pdy@dpapxol.gov.gr. Email submissions must include a copy of your ID card.
