Our Story

Driven by love and respect for animals

Many years on the road, thousands of dogs home. One loving journey at a time.

Who We Are

A mission that started with one van and a promise

Lilia Paws Travel was founded by Lilia Pontika, a passionate animal welfare advocate. Through years of experience, she witnessed hundreds of dogs adopted across borders with no safe, humane transport solution.

What began as voluntary dog transport quickly grew into a deep responsibility. To create a humane, safe, and reliable way of transporting animals that respects every life.

Our responsibility is not simply transporting an animal to a new owner. It is carrying a soul to a new family. Transparency, safety, and humane treatment are our primary concern on every journey.

Care

Your beloved companion is in good hands, fed, hydrated, clean, and never left alone throughout the journey.
