LOVING NEWS

Finally, Nonna (grandma) Maria is now up in Germany at the Mercer Senior Sanctuary. That are wall to wall to a home and 24/7 always someone home to look after and care.

We got 6 seniors and one Sven. Sven is young but suffering a lot from seizures. Last Friday night to Saturday morning, did he have 23 seizures. Emergency and two sleepless nights. (more updates later)

However, Nonna Maria is now here, our wonderful old lady from the Hospice in S Italy. She was found on a field last year, starved and in very bad condition. She is wonderful, let me tell you that.

More updates during the day!

That's Amore!

AWL IS OPENING UP SOME NEW DOORS AND CLOSES SOME OLD






In one way we are very exited for the new journey that AWL is going to take. However it saddens

many of us to official announce

that we will close out Hospice in Lago Patria end of September. Sadly, every month it is too much

money that need to be paid; rent, electricity and gas (and unexpected bills for broken things, light-bulbs,

doors etc. To have a descent place for the seniors cost plenty of money, and every month it’s a struggle

over how we are going to manage the bills.
We love to work with cases like Miele, or Vita and want to continue doing so. AWL is absolutely not giving up on our fantastic work. The show must go on. 
When having a hospice we sometimes need people staying at the hospice around the clock. It’s difficult.
AwL got designed a wood house for 4 dogs, and an extra room for supplies.
For the price of 3000 euro it can be AWL own place. But we need your help to help us collect the money.
We will have it built close to one of our volunteer that can watch over it together with some volunteers.  
In Germany we are starting with Senior Sanctuary place, for older dog to have a safe place until Heaven calls. Or, for special care for sick unwanted dogs. Volunteers can come and learn, love up on them. The house has two living areas.
The dogs are coming from the difficult area South Italy.
We also has to close our old house Casa dell'Amore, since animals were being dumped, or threatened to be dumped. Every day we get emails and calls from people that think our Hospice is a shelter. Daily, we have to stop our work to explain and argue. Some dogs are being tied up or thrown in over the fence. It’s very dangerous for our clients.

AWL started working in Italy 2008 (Founded 1999) and for many years has AWL worked with shelters with bathing, brushing and walking to socialize the dogs for better possibility for adoption. We will continue doing that once a month, on Saturdays. Bring food and medication donations to our shelter friends. Carrying on with our Spay and Neuter projects and Street projects. There are happy strays and we like to keep them that way by providing with medicine, spay and neuter and food for them. We have our area with strays that we keep a close eye on.  AWL has great teams here in Italy, Germany, USA and Sweden, and we want to sustain working with “difficult” cases.
We still need your support, love and donations so we can do what we are best, saving lives together with YOU.
That’s Amore!

HEAVEN HAVE CALLED HOME ONE OF HIS ANGELS



 Our great animal friend Craig Kleber from Brentwood, LA, USA --I would like to call him our AWL Ambassador (or Saint), is one of a kind. He is following our cases with a big heart and passion. He is an amazing true animal friend. However, his love and care for animals doesn't only go one direction.

Yesterday, AWL received this email and a donation check, 1000 dollar, in Cachito's memory from Craig.

We (AWL) also want to send our respect and love to the Camacho family.

RIP Cachito

In the name of 'Cachito' (his guardians were the Camacho family) - a rescued dog who was loved by all who knew him. Cachito crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night after fighting illness, but he was surrounded by love and care so his journey started happily. He lived a long life on this earth and now will live forever with his doggie friends. I gave him some special treats and vitamins a few months ago and he wrote me a nice note on Saturday night that I want to share.



"Hi Mr. Craig, my name is Cachito. I am not feeling well. My sister Araceli and my mom have taken good care of me all of these years and I so thank them for all that and the happiness they have given me! I think my stay here will not be for long."



Vaya con dios Querido Cachito

THE FAMILY WITH HEARTS OF GOLD

THANK YOU Fam. Butt.
Earlier on the blog, we wrote about the dog Moschino that was hit by a car, left with a broken leg and pelvis on the street. He was brought to a veterinarian by volunteers from Adcr Naples. AWL helped them finding a foster home, and wow Moschino got the best foster home ever. 

The Family Butt open their home and hearts for this little fellow. He got so much love, attention and therapy during his stay (exercise and love, the best combo)
Kathryn, its people like you that makes our World look better. Your service, help and effort for this little guy is heart warming. Happy Tears!
From us, AWL, thank you for the best wonderful foster home ***** Moschino is now in Northern Italy with his family that adopted him.
Thank you for making his life mean something.
That's Amore!




Hard life, right?
I get to hang out with a gorgeous family




Even allowing me to be a  couch dog Not bad for being a former street dog, and....black dog.


Black dogs are very hard to adopt away. Shelters are full with black dogs so the joy was tremendous when the rescue group found a family up north.
I get to stay up late and watch tv. What a great life!

Thank you so much loving family Butt for opening your hearts for me, giving me a chance in life to find true happiness.

That's Amore!
