Two Adorable Dogs

Rosa lives on the street, and is always alone. She is very sensitive but so sweet. Adorable to my children and other people. We put FrontlineTM on her and we noticed she is already sterilized. Would you like to have a girl whom never will let go of your side?

Fox is a young male, locked in an empty lot with nothing to hide under or away from mean children throwing rocks. With a big goofy heart he is constantly trying to reach you with his front paw. (like a chimpanzee)

These two are my favorites. If we didn't have 9 dogs in our house, and 3 distance-adopted dogs I would bring them home, in a heartbeat. They are so much Amore.....

Another Sad Day

Today Dr. Inga and I had to drive out to the "terrible shelter".

On the farm before the shelter the employees were having their coffee break, while one of the buffalo's where laying very sick, dying.


AWL had bought 40 kg dog food to the shelter terrible because they were not feeding the dogs.

Pictures were taken, for what we hope a family that wants to adopt her.

It was terrible again, urine in their water bucket. I cried!

1,5 m cages, 6-8 big poop piles and the smell was horrible. This was even worse than before. The dogs were going crazy, they recognised us and wanted our attention "Take us out from here!"

I cried!

Smelly dirty, I thought I had seen it all. And still the dogs are loving and begging for their Amore freedom.

Terrible Shelter Update

A lot has been happening about the "Terrible Shelter", and we've now been informed that it will close completely on February 13th. On this date, any remaining dogs will be seized by the authorities, and taken to one of the "official" shelters... the ones that are canine warehouses.

So, there is only about 2 weeks to adopt away as many of these wonderful, worthy, helpless souls. You can see the current listing of dogs, with pictures and descriptions at this link.

These amore souls did nothing to deserve being in this shelter, and their continued love of and for humans demand that we find them homes.

One Who Deserves a Home---Una che merita una casa...

She is such a loving soul that is left in the "terrible shelter' where we are going to help this weekend.

The first time I met her I fell in love with her. Maybe it was her love and eagerness to love up on me, that made me see her among all 60 dogs in terrible need.

Maybe it was her right-front foot that is oddly twisted, (probably from a badly healed break) that made me love her, she is so beautiful and I call her "my duck foot." She is 5-6 years old and it is such a shame that this loving dog has to be moved to another "awful shelter" if we can't find her a home.

She is so sweet, kind, loving and it breaks my heart even harder this time that I cannot bring her home with me. We have seven now, and soon eight....oh my God I hope our landlord doesn't read my blog!

If someone would like to adopt her I will do everything in my power to help. She is a fantastic dog, and if Mia Mattsson-Mercer, the well known animal psychologist says so, it is so.

This is an Amore dog with a beautiful paw.

lei e un anima cosi dolce, ma purtroppo lei si trova abbandonata in questa struttura , questo canile terribile- dove noi andiamo questo weekend per cercare di migliorare un po la situazione.
La prima volta che le ho vista , mi sono innamorata subito. Forse era perche lei era cosi affetuosa con me, e grazie a questo le ho visto tra sessanta altri cani in bisogno di aiuto.
Forse era anche perche ha un problema con una delle zampe, (sembra che si e rotta prima e poi mai non curato)e cosi dolce, e grazie alla zampa rotta la chiamo con amore la mia papperina. lei ha tra 5-6 anni ed e veramente un peccato vederla la in questo posto brutto . se non troviamo una bella casa per lei, allora va trasportata in un altro canile ancora piu brutto di questo .
lei e cosi dolce, cosi brava e mi si spezza davvero il cuore perche non posso portarmela con me a casa. Ora abbiamo sette cani, tra poco otto ! mio dio spero che il propriatrio della casa non legge il mio blog..,
se qualcuno volesse adottarla sarei disposta a fare qualsiasi cosa per aiutare. Lei e un cane fantastico, e se Mia Mattsson - Mercer, famosa psykologa degli animali lo dice - allora e cosi.
Questo e un cane stupendo che merita davvero qualcuno!

Starving Dogs -- Cani Affamati

Yesterday evening around 19.00, I got a phone call from the Sengora of "Terrible Shelter." Could I come with dog food, there was no food left for them.

Urgh!! A Saturday evening, my family time and where to get food?
I locked my family into a room with chocolate* and said, "Back in a minute!"

Yes! Still some lights on in the dog store. I banged on the door and Alberto, with family, opened. I waved with the donation envelope and shouted I needed dog food for 51 dogs! He thought I couldn't get my numbers right in Italian and came with a small bag. "No no" I said, "I need 60 kg dog food!"

Kind Alberto drove the 60 kg of food ---- three huge bags --- home to my house, I surely couldn't lift that.

Back in the house, I opened the door where my family was locked in to see that they just finished their chocolate*...mom hadn't been gone that long. Sigh!

Thanks Alberto and family for helping AWL. That's sharing Amore!

* The children were not unsupervised, my husband was with them, and the chocolate!

ieri verso le 19, ho ricevuto una telefonata dalla signora dell Canile "terribile" . mi ha chiesto se potevo venire con un po di cibo per i cani perche non avevano niente piu. I

Urgh!! Sabato sera !!! Il mio momento per stare con la mia famiglia a casa e inoltre dove trovare cibo ?Ho chiuso la mia famiglia dentro una stanza con ciocolato caldo e ho detto " torno tra un minuto " Sii!! ancora vedevo delle luci dentro il negozio per gli animali. ho bussato sulla porta e alberto - con la sua famiglia mi ha aperto. Ho fatto vedere la lettera con i donazioni e dicevo quasi disperata che mi serviva cibo per 51 cani. Lui pensava che avevo sbagliato i nummeri in italiano ed e tornato con una busta piccola! "no no " mi serve 60 kilo di cibo" .
gentilissimo Alberto mi ha portato con la macchina sua tutto il cibo a casa mia ---- tre buste enorme---ovviamente non potevo portare 60 kilo cosi in mano fino a casa.

Tornata a casa, Ho apperto la porta dove la mia famiglia stava chiusa avevano appena finito il ciocolato. * mamma non era stata fuori per cosi tanto tempo alla fine. Sigh!Grazie Alberto e alla sua famiglia per l aiuto che date a AWL. Questo e davvero amore !

* I bambini non stavano da soli, cera il mio marito con loro e con il ciocolato.

Medicine for Project 2 of "Horrible Shelter Mission"

Animals Without Limits is very happy.

Today I received a phone call from the AWL veterinarian and she made sure that we now will have sufficient vaccination, de worming and frontline to all 50 dogs when project 2 is going off.
And, at a fantastic price!!!

Thanks to these two veterinarians (from another country), we can now go in and do our work, and get healthy non-scratching dogs.

After the project 2 is done, we will celebrate these two wonderful veterinarians with a lot of Amore. This is healthy Amore news!
