On earlier blogs have we been writing about Doberman Bella that Maura found in terrible condition --- skin and bones, and also with red mange. Maura's own Doberman didn't accept Bella so they had to live separated, and Bella didn't understand children and could nibble them. Maura with four children, that last part became a big problem. But I admire Maura, she kept Bella, gave her food, love and a lot of treatments for her skin condition. AWL paid for the sterilization.
We also started to look after adoption options, but it was difficult since Dobermans also can be a misunderstood breed. None of us wanted her to become a guard dog in a factory area. An Italian volunteer shared a contact with the "Dobermann's Angels" up in Parma. Bella got an invitation! We were all so thrilled!
The whole family drove the 9 hours up with Bella and met the rescue group in a wonderful, beautiful kennel. Nicolette, a warm and brilliant person greeted us and thought Bella was a great dog, and super specimen of the breed.
We all had a wonderful time at the place, Olivia and Max were playing with cute puppies and rolling in grass. I could stay there forever!

You remember Bella Dobberman, found by Maura and her family of 4 children. Bella was a walking skelleton and with a horrible skin condition. Maura rescued Bella but in her home there was an old Dobberman Millie that thought Bella was a little bit too much to handle. Bella was also talking "Dobberman language" that many of us do not realize is like people from different contries or regions, we are all humans but we have different languages, and sometimes misunderstandings can occure. But Maura didn't give up, she had Bella for eight months and AWL was contacted.
We loved Maura and Bella and wanted to do what we could do. First we sponsored with the steralization and then we contacted Martina from Voci nell Ombria who put us in contact with Maria Pia and then Dobermans Angels with warmhearted Nicoletta. Who told us about how their organization works, we were so impressed.
Last week I recieved these wonderful pictures from Elah's forever, loving home. I love how they have doghouses inside their home. What great looking decoration too!
