Shelter Mission Teamwork-- Missione Canile lavoro di gruppo



The team assembles for the cataloging effort. Copyright (c) 2009, Mia Mattsson-Mercer. All Rights Reserved.


Today we started with our 1st program with the rescue shelter. We are documenting all the dogs that are inside this shelter, many of whom are in pain of some kind. It was a horrible view, it becomes worse every time you visit, and I was not the only one who thought that.


One veterinarian was with us and it was very interesting that he and I we had the same opinion. Even if I am not a veterinarian, I have worked next to vets for a long time, and have come to share their feelings in these situations.


This day was "bittersweet." We got job done, one step on the dirt path, but so bloody darn so helpless. Our hearts were aching the whole time.


Today, thank you Helene (Wales) for babysitting Olivia and Max so I could be on the mission. When I offered money, she said; "no no, I am just happy to help." You are so big hearted and Olivia cried when you left.

The Italian team, gosh we worked great together, here was a lot of "old" experiences no explanations needed, we just worked.

Todd, my husband....your pictures today to document the dogs, fantastic...we were all impressed by how you had built up the documentation/catalog of dogs.


Today was a bittersweet Amore day, still we have to work on program 2.

Oggi abbiamo iniziato con il nostro primo progetto del "salvare canile " Stiamo documentando tutti i cani che si trovano nella struttura, e quasi tutti di questi cani hanno qualche tipo di dolore. E una cosa orribile , ogni volta che andiamo si peggiora la situazione. e non sono l unica a pensare questo. Un veterinario e venuto con noi ed era molto interessante che io e lui avevamo lo stesso opinione. Anche se non sono un veterinario, ho un po di esperienza visto che ho sempre lavorato vicino a veterinari. E molte volte riesco a vedere la stessa cosa che vedono loro.
questa giornata e stata bello ma allo stesso tempo brutto. abbiamo lavorato sodo, un passo avanti, ma ci sentiamo senza speranza. I nostri cuori si spezzano .Oggi, grazie a te Helen ( wales) che ci hai aiutato come babysitter a Olivia e a Max. Quando ti ho detto che ti volevo compensare mi hai detto: no no, mi fa piacere aiutarvi." Sei cosi brava e olivia piangeva quando te ne sei andato.
Il team Italiano- mamma mia quanto sono bravi, abbiamo lavorato cosi bene insieme. Cera tanta di quella "vecchia" esperienza tra di noi e non cera bisogno di spiegare niente , abbiamo solo lavorato .

Todd il mio marito. Le tue fotografie di oggi per documentare i cani- fantastici! Siamo tutti impressionati da come hai creato il catalogo/documentazione degli cani.
Oggi era una giornata come ho scritto prima bella e brutta, ancora dobbiamo organizzarci per il progetto no 2.

Mission Shelter --- Missione Canile

Pictures and text Copyright (c) 2009, Mia Mattsson-Mercer. All Rights Reserved

Went out to the shelter today. I nearly cried when I saw where we had found our new dog, Dexter. He was born in this shelter, in that cage on the picture, and for probably 4 years he sat in this dark, damp stinky cage.

I asked the lady why she brought in and kept the dogs in this horrible situation, "I didn't want them to be hit by a car!" she said.

Amore can kill!


Sono andata al canile oggi. Mi sono quasi messa a piangere quando ho visto di dove abbiamo preso / trovato il nostro nuovo cane Dexter. Lui e nato in questo "canile" in quella gabbia che potete vedere nel immagine. E per piu di 4 anni molto probabilmente ha dovuto sopportare questo posto buio e sporco.

Ho chiesto alla signora perche ha preso tutti questi cani e perche li ha messi tutti qui dentro. Mi risponde : Non volevo che facevano qualche incidente stradale,"
Amore puo anche amazzare!

Campania Evilness

Campania Dog Shelters, there is no number for how many there are, and like I said earlier on my blog, no high adoption numbers. For many years have I tried together with AWL to work against mistreatment of animals, many people ask why nothing is being done.

I have an answer for you...MONEY. As long as there is money involved they will continue with the evilness. As long as we don't get any money we cannot prevent the evilness.

Why do we not have more volunteers? No MONEY.

Around this area in Campania are some shelters being discovered by media, and many people are getting mad of what they have seen. Thanks to Internet the information and horror can reach YOU in your living room. BUT, some people choose to shut the computer off.
I urge you to contact media, to become a foster to one off these dogs, or adopt.
I urge you to volunteer, we "just" ask about a couple of hours.
Give them a good warm Christmas!
