AWL Cleaning Day

AWL packed their cars with blankets and shampoo, treats and equipment, and drove out to Rosella's Shelter to clean a lot of dogs. In +32 c, strong sun, the volunteers Jenny, Jackie, Darren, Linda, Vince, Anthony, Elisabeth, Todd and Eric was a perfect group. They accomplished so much and no errors were made.
This beautiful sweet dog has a problem with her back legs, it seems like they have been broken. Her fur was thinned to half--she looked so slim and beautiful afterwards-- and being washed, we could tell she loved every minute of Linda's and Jenny's love

Eric, our trooper among big dogs, did a fantastic job on these strong dogs together with Kristine.


Kristene stepped in assisting everyone, here she helped Linda rinse the dog with a cup instead of the hose that scared this little girl.
AFN filmed and helped out so wonderfully with these dogs, Vince, Elisabeth and Anthony thanks for spending a Saturday, filming the situation and inspiring others to join in the future.
All, thank you for you Amore and Healing hands today!

Dog Walk Mission 2

Loving up to the shy ones was a very important task. Getting them used to the humans hand and love can give them a better chance to become adopted. These two old ladies were so sweet.
Vince is teaching Olivia dog Amore from the Lion dog.

Wonderful AWL Volunteers making sure that the old dogs get to drink fresh water.
(all these dogs are up for adoption pls also visit www.miamattsson.blogspot.com )

THANK YOU

Photo; Linda McClintock bought bags of food and dog shampoo for the shelter. AWL Olivia is happy!

There are so many I want to thank and I am so afraid to forget someone. Please forgive me if I do.

Thank you everyone that made the dog walk possible and into a positive chaotic success. Americans, Brits, Germans and even one more Swede helped out. It was a chaotic, wonderful day!


All the 70 volunteers that walked in the heat and gave the dogs something to remember while laying in their cages. AWL also wants to thank St Franscesco who let us "invade" their shelter and with a lot of patience for us roaming around. To the persons who brought in the sick cat that laid injured outside on a street, so the veterinarian -- located in the shelter-- could put in an IV and examine the little one, thank you for your kindness.

Vania, Keegan, Bruce and Dennis (and Rosa's spirit) my top team, thank you for helping to spread the word, and for helping our new volunteers. It's not easy being new in something that is very different from "back home".

We donated around 30 bags of dogfood to the shelter, thank you all for helping with this.

And all the treats, and petsmart balls and frisbees and collars (Eric) and blankets (Cindy).

Gennifer and Tim's beloved pet, Charlote's things. Her spirit lives on with her things' new users.

So many wonderful hearts, all at the same time.

Money donations; Lisa Tullis, Keegan Kasten, Bruce Armond, Eric Wooley, Lynn Woodalls, Tracey Kleber, Cheryl Kelman, Todd Mercer, Tamara Hampikian, Patricia Hoskins, Paola Maria Gaetano, Traci Van Field, China Plauto, Bella Appelblom, Mitra Talarman, Ulla Seidel, A wonderful couple from Cuma.

Chans Organization donations from their members, thank you so much.

Thanks to Jackie who informed Anna on the base about us, Anna made sure that AWL could get 50 boxes of "dog hamburger food" that we donated to Shelter Franscesco.

For the drinks and fruit thank you Mia, and Vania brought ice, and Jackie plastic cups. Team work!

And Lisa at Panorama, for shining a light on our work.
