FRIENDS FOREVER

These two characters are "rescue" dogs from Italy living together in Germany.

Both are now Seniors and got the kindest hearts ever. Sammy and Leah also live together with ten other rescue dogs in the house that we bought to fit all our dogs.

Many ask us if they live inside! Yes of course, they are family members.

Each one of them knows their sleeping place, some in our beds, and some prefers their own dog beds.

They chose and show us, what they want. 

That's Amore!

A WONDERFUL DAY AT THE ITALIAN SHELTER

Our great volunteer Bianca Lopez went to our Animal Friends Shelter to help out. Think so much happiness and greatness you explore by visiting them. Never an unthankful soul.

Plenty of kisses and tail wagging .

Live the fullest, never lose Hope, maybe the new owner is around the corner.

Playing and cleaning are the right combination in life. They are my best Mindfulness Teacher.

Exercise even when you feel locked in. It keeps your brain going.

                                    No Pity Party at our Place Please. It never helps anyone.

That's Amore <3 p="">

Thank you Bianca and Friend (Chris we wish you a fast recovery--Chris is another volunteer.)

Handsome English Setter Spot

This handsome boy is called Spot. He was found abandon on the streets, skin and bones and with a broken heart. We were asked if we could help finding him a home.

I was amazed! We found a home in only one hour. Friends of mine, that has lived down in Naples and adopted two english setter rescuers.  Gina, one of the girls died and they have been waiting for a while after the 'right' one for their Princess. I sent them the pictures of Spot and they answered back right away...'he is welcome to our home in Germany'

On our mission down we wanted to meet him and also thank his foster dad Fabrizio. Without foster moms/dads we cannot get our documents ready. We love their help, its amazing since I know how difficult it is emotional to later hand them over. You get so attached.

It was a lovely meeting. What a boy, what a soul....amazing dog. Im in love.

That's Amore!

Its a Promise

The days goes by quickly, amazing scary. So much we want to do, so many souls we want to rescue.

Most of us start New Year with a a resolution of what we want to accomplish. Our promise is to continue working hard rescuing animals. Finding homes, spay and neuter missions, making sure wounded animals (strays) get medical care, food donations to shelters--that allows adoptions outside Italy.

And...open a hospice clinic in Toscana 2017

I hope you will continue following and supporting our work. We cannot do it without you...you are an important link to our work.

That's Amore!

WONDERFUL ENGLISH SETTERS UP FOR ADOPTION

 ENGLISH SETTERS are a very common breed in south Italy used for hunting. They are overbreed and got not much status and are being abandon in woods or on streets. English Setters are being well known for being wonderful family dogs, their positive, happy, loyal and very good with children. 

Dalma is 4 years old and was found abandon on the field/streets. Many hunters from south Italy abandon their English Setters when not useful anymore.
Dalma is sweet and will become a great family member. Great with other dogs. She is a sweet heart.
Now she is in an outdoor shelter and we would so much want for her to find her forever home before it becomes to cold out there.

She is steralised, vaccinated, de wormed, leaichmania and heartwormtested, and will have her own passport.

 Below is beautiful Lisa, a Senior lady with so much to still give.

 LISA was being used to breed many litters of puppies for many years locked in a cage. When no longer being to any use she was being dumped.

Lisa is a Senior dog that only wants a family, someone that can see her enourmus loving heart. She is adorable, sweet and humble and have still so much to give. English Setters are being well known to be such a loving family dogs and becoming old.

Since many English Setters are being abandon from hunters we have been successful to find them homes. And all the families are saying the same 'they never knew before how fantastic they were'

Leiscmania tested, steralised, vaccinated, de wormed, comes with her own passport.

Good Bye My Friend RIP

RIP JOEY my Friend,

Last Saturday I noticed that we were running out of time. You were still wagging your tail, but something had changed around you. Sunday came and you were laying close to me, closer than ever before. I knew the time was here.
That Monday morning phone call to the veterinarian was the hardest to make.

Joey was the happiest stray dog in Campania, Italy. With his love and positive attitued he was loved by many Italians, Brits and Americans. He touched so many hearts.

I got a message from Carol Mander Yeomans asking if we could find Joey a home. Stray, getting older (not in his mind at all) winter was coming....I said yes we would find him a home.
Jolene Callahan took him into her home during the health check and passport (helped us great during that time it took, Thank you)

Joey came to me and he was wonderful, deaf, positive little guy. He had a tough stabile charisma that told the other dogs to accept him. And they did, right until the end heart emoticon

No one answered on Joeys adoption add. Maybe because he was black...maybe because there are millions of dogs searching for homes out there!

He was loved, so much loved....and I didn't get to have you for a long time, but you are forever in my heart. 

Joey, you got your wish granted, to fall a sleep outside in "your" freedom with me by your side. 

Thank you my veterinarian Martina (Germany) for helping me with Joeys wish heart emoticon

Freedom Joey. I miss you so much. heart emoticon

That's Amore
Mia Olivia Max

DOGS WITHOUT HOMES

This is Friki from Toscana, Italy. You can see she is not a big dog, 15 kg.
She was abandon by her family. After 4 years they didn't have time anymore.
She has been in the shelter for 6 months and doesn't understand what she did wrong?

She is loving and affectionate, she is constantly searching for contact. Sometimes she can become a little jealous since she is afraid of being replaced. Right now she is living together with other dogs.

She is sterilized, vaccinated, leichmania and heart-worm tested = negative.

For more information contact; Mia awlrescueteam@gmail.com

Her owner took her one night and threw her over a fence into a small open shelter with dogs inside. The dogs attacked her.
Neve is 1 year old and full of love. Sensitive and need a warm family/person that will see her in her eyes and promise she can stay.

Baglico was found outside a gypsy camp in Portugal, disoriented and with burns in his face.

He had got acid splashed to his face. Wonderful volunteers brought him to the veterinarian for treatment. Today he is doing fine however he needs a home before the cold winter is coming.
A house with a fenced in garden would be genial. Calm loving family, maybe an older person.
Balgico is calm and sweet, only 25 cm and 7/8kg.
Tested negative for leischmania and heart-worm.

Can go to the perfect home in Germany and Sweden

Our Little Joey

 Joey was a very happy stray down in south Italy for many years. At first he didn't want to be someones pet. He loved his freedom and meeting the people that fed him, petted him and then, let him go.
But becoming a Senior on the streets is not easy, especially when the winters cold night making them sicker. WE decided that Joey should have a home.

Joey came to me in my Senior Sanctuary home among 14 other dogs, I think one year ago. He was going to be spayed. I had a check up on him and he had artros on his back spines and on top of everything, leischmania. No one wanted to adopt a Senior with Leischmania. I don't have any problems with that since we have had many dogs and it can be  kept under control if caught in right time.
Ironic, it was not the leischmania that would end his life. He got aggressive cancer that are spreading in his body like fire.

I was crying, since his mind is still very sharp but his body is breaking down.

 Olivia and I took him to the veterinarian and I could see in Dr Hummels eyes that it was not much hope. 5-7 days. We got medicine, painkiller and other things that will help ease some. But when Joey wants to, Dr Hummel will come home and help him over to the other side.

Joey has his bed infront of the fireplace, and it is pate' three times a day. He eats and is very happy and we are happy and thankful for each day we get together with him.

That's Amore!
