He is BIGGER!!!!

Nice divano with wonderful friends...this is my mom!

TIME TO GO TO YOUR NEW HOMES

I am horrible with adopting away dogs. Its heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time.

Always scared that something will go wrong, will "he" be loved and taken cared of?

Think if they abandon "him"?!

Then I get attached to "him" but my head is trying to tell my heart not to be selfish with my feelings, that "he" now can move on and get a better life. Its bittersweet to say the least!

Today from Venice came Stewart's new "dad' to pick him up and take him home. It was wonderful to see them together, how he talked to Stewart. And finally Stewart was in heaven getting all the attention and love he needs and deserves.

The other Great Dane puppy, Morgana also went together with him, to meet her new family-- also up north. It was a double good-bye today. Good Luck Stewart and Morgana.

AWL thanks Jenifer of Hotel Agora who introduced us to the Great Dane family so we could rescue them. She and her husband also sponsored the medical bills for "mom and dad" Great Dane, Boss and Lady.

Martina Ricci, my wonderful animal friend, always there for us and the animals. You helped AWL so much by contacting SOS Alani rescue organization, to help with finding homes for the puppies and kept organizing the meetings with Stefania.

Stefania of SOS Alani rescue organization a BIG thank you for doing such great work; background checking the families, making sure they are trustworthy and worthy of the love of the dogs. You all have saved so many beautiful Great Danes. You all are fantastic.

Team effort, not for ourselves but for the animals. That's Amore.

CINDY #6 NEW FAMILY

And so it was time to say good bye to Cindy our Great Dane puppy #6. Her family drove from North Italy to pick her up.

The Great Dane rescue S.O.S Alano Steffani (left w Stewart) thank you for finding a great family for her. Martina for calling and arranging our meeting. Cindy will be missed but we know she will have a wonderful time with her new family. Thank you everyone!

TREVOR TRANSFORMATION CHOPIN

Our little Trevor is adopted by what seems a wonderful warm couple. They lost their adult

Great Dane Chopin, so Trevor is now a Happy Chopin II

Its always bittersweet to say Good bye to some one you rescued and loved, but he is going from a three star retreat to a five star home. Good Luck Buddy.

We want to Thank Martina who helped us contacting SOS ALANO ALANI here in Italy and being our middle hand. Stefani from the rescue organization is doing a great job finding a good match.

UPDATE ON THE GREAT DANES-ALANO FAMILGIA

Here's Trevor.....

We still have mom and dad Great Dane that we rescued 2 months ago with 8 puppies. We have 4 puppies remaining, Cindy & Morgana (F), and Trevor & Stewart (M). A Great Dane rescue organization in Italy is going to help us to adopt away the puppies (born 30 July) to great families. Momma and Daddy will hopefully go to Spain together, (we need sponsors for that trip). A great home is awaiting them there.

Hilly Billy's from the country side....Me and Stewart!

Cindy....

Cindy surprise! Out for a stroll...

Our sweet Morgana.....

And momma dog, Lady, who we drove to Lega Pro to have sterilized. Thank you to Pio for helping me lift 60 kg of dog into my SUV.

WONDERFUL HECTIC TIME AT THE AWL HOSPICE

Freya from Holland is a new great volunteer at our Hospice. She washed all the Great Danes, later on with help from another fantastic volunteer Sarah (GB) Friday afternoon while we are cleaning we share a bottle of vine. Funny how easier it is to clean!

My Dicky, rescued from the streets put in a shelter on a wet cold concrete with a lot of disease. I drove quickly and pick him up. He is the sweetest thing, always happy. Even when he gets shots at the clinic, is his tail going like a drumstick.

Our two (out of three) mini German Shepards keeps us busy cleaning while they keep themselves busy playing and fighting.

Four Great Dane puppies now got loving homes. We are so happy for them. Today a beautiful family came and fell in love with a female they named Dolce.

One of our oldies Tiger 15y old are now feeling at home at the hospice and sleeps comfortable on the sofa.

Michelle adopted a female Mini German Shepard that are living in a house now together with a cat. We wish you all luck.

Leo 15y that never went inside houses. Well this morning he did. My heart is full of joy. My beloved Leo.

Maybe he didn't like me that much, but I gave him a bath since his fur is so full of parasites. Amazing, before no one could touch him and here, I gave him bath and he stood still.

We also once in a while get wonderful energetic children to volunteer. We learn a lot from them, and hopefully they can be our hope for the future about kindness to animals.

Angel 17y enjoying his chewing bone outside in the sun. That's what AWL Hospice is about. Relaxing pain free enjoyment.

Male and female Mini German Shepards adopted by a wonderful warm generous family from Holland. They named them "Bonnie and Clyde"

Our days are full off Amore, and we hope or clients enjoys their five star Hospice Thats' Amore.

GREAT DANE RESCUE REPORT

You have been able to follow us on the blog, the "Mission Jen" with the Great Danes that were at a riding school. A lot of people, children got scared of these gentle giants, and maybe not the best environment for the puppies to grow up in. Jen from Hotel Agora introduced us and she and her husband are the adult dogs' sponsors.

We picked them up and of course they got stressed about what was going on. They have never during their 3 years left the place. It was heart breaking --- their concern for their puppies combined with their anxiety over where they were going, leaving the only home they'd ever known!

Big Puppy Yawn!

We got them to LegaProAnimale, a big family of two adults and 8 puppies (4 weeks old). Once at LPA, they were de-wormed and Advantix applied right away. Dr. Lorenzo was a sport helping us.

During the next 3 days, they will go through a lot of health tests, and the adult male will be castrated (female will be when she is done nursing). This will be her break after many litters in a "Puppy Mill".

Her eyes seemed to be bothering her, so a double check on that too....we want our clients to feel better, that's what our donaters want as well.

Jennifer and Christian Hotel Agora, thank you for saving these lives. That's Amore

GREAT DANES!

Yesterday's visit to the horse stable where the Great Danes are.





One of the 15 days old puppies. Hard to imagine such a small creature would grow to be one of the largest in the dog-world.


Can't you just sense the nobility?


This is no way to start a healthy, long life!


Working on rescue plan called "Jen Mission" We will make it!

THEIR EYES ARE WONDERING?

What a heartbreaking visit today at a stable with two "beautiful" Great Danes, female and male with 15 days old puppies! They all appear to be pure-bred in this breed.

Jenn from Hotel Agora introduced me to "the people that feed" them, and she wants to sponsor this "rescue project." AWL will have them spayed and neutered but they also need a nice place to be able to relax in for the rest of their lifes. A garden with dog house would be just perfect! They are so sweet together.

Tomorrow I will go and medicate the female.

They are both approximately 4 years-old, and the female appears to have been a "puppy-mill mama" --- lots of litters in her few years.

The puppies are also up for adoptions. Please help them!

Remember the blog about the two dogs that were owned by an American and a person "helped" her adopt them away. Well they ended up in "rough" shelter/kennel, not the loving home the owner was lead to believe they went to.

AWL found the owner and brought them together. Lilly she kept, but Frankie she didn't want to keep (small home and too much work for her with 2 dogs).


Well, Frankie is being fostered by Tammy (pictured) and her 5 dogs. She tells me he is a wonderful dog. Happy and loves to play; he adjusts great and very quickly to the pack, family home. He is 2 years old.


Frankie together with his two new best friends friends.

"Big Boy" was in a pack of four dogs at an Agip gas station. He needs a home quickly since his three other pack friends all got new homes.....please, it is heartbreaking that one has to be "abandoned" --- left behind not understanding why! Please help a paw-fect friend
