Melina, known in the racetrack as "Move The Money", was just 14 years old when she arrived at ESPI in 2016, having already suffered extensive abuse and neglect in Paros. From her daily racing, she was turned in a breeding machine by her next owner, who kept her tied up and malnourished.

 

Her luck turned in 2016, when a tourist in Paros came across her and, shocked by her situation, decided to intervene. She bought her from her owner and, at her own expense, arranged her transfer to ESPI, giving her the chance for a new life. Melina found in our shelter the security and care she had been missing for years.

 

However, Melina's journey did not end there. She got adopted but the conditions in her new home were not suitable and Melina was forced to return to ESPI after a short time, where she once again found the care and love she deserved.
