SUPPORT US GET THIS FANTASTIC CALENDAR 2012



Each life we save, every animal who no longer has to endure pain and
suffering on the street or in a shelter, has a success story. That story
deserves to be told, and to be highlighted. And your kind help has made
these stories possible. 

Indeed, your love is part of the story itself.

In 2013, why not proudly display some of these lives you have helped to
improve through your love and generosity?

We've created a beautiful, full color wall calendar to showcase some of
these wonderful animals. Every month in our Animals Without Limits
calendar, we highlight the story of an animal whose life you have helped to
improve. Individually, the stories are heartwarming. Together, they tell a
story of the incredible love YOU have provided with your kind and generous
support over the years.

We so very much want you to have a chance to display this testament to your
love in your home or workplace. When you donate $25 or more to get this
keepsake Calendar, your gift will go toward the next animals we are working
to save-every day, every week, and every month of every year --- together.

Please donate $20 or 199 SEK or 20 euro or more and get your calendar today!

AWL VISITING BOEBLINGEN ELEMENTERY SCHOOL

Thank you Mrs. Jonsson, teacher at Boeblingen Elementery School (2 nd Grade class) Stuttgart, for inviting Mia/AWL to show pictures and talk about AWL Rescue Program. The class was fantastic, never before had they sat so still for a whole hour. And they were great with answering all our questions.
It went so well that the class next door want an education hour themselves. That's Amore.


We loved it! Go AWL Team, Go!!

RESCUED FROM SAD ENVIRONMENT

 The lovely couple Martina and Pio rescued this dog and named him Ettore. Outside their house is a small piece of land, only fenced in dirt. Inside there are  three dogs, locked in.  When I was down working I got the honor to met him, such a big boy, sweet and goofy. 
Yesterday did Pio drive him to Dr Damiani clinic for examination. Ettore was lovely there, only wanted to greet people with his big paw.
   


Thank you all sponsors and supporters, Your donations are helping the animals in chaos and crisis areas. Without your support we cannot do what we are great at, saving lives. When Ettore is done with his medication and the blood test results are back he will go up North to start a new life.                             That's Amore.

OUR NEW ANGEL AT THE HOSPICE.

This is Nora: she's more than 10 years old, cataracts to her eyes and very tiny.
Blood tests have been taken, we will wait for the results in a couple of days.
Nora is sooooo small! She looks like a bird! Maybe 4-5 kilos.

She is rescued from a shelter after many years.

Thank you Maria for driving and escorting her out from the shelter. Martina for picking her up and escorting her to our hospice. AWL Team for making sure she will have the best service and treatments. AND, you all supporters for your donations so we can still save life's trapped in horrible shelters. You are Amore!

THE POWER OF A DOG~THANK YOU CREATURE


                                           The Power Of A Dog – Thank You Creature

Creature left us after a wonderful life. We say “left us” vs. “he is gone” because it is we who are left with a big void. He now joins Vinnie, Gus and other eternal pals.

He came into our lives as that “cute puppy with all that brindle” found running around abandoned in parking lot with no home. At the time we had no plans to have a dog, but there he was wiggling his butt into our lives. He didn’t look like anything in particular, just one of God’s creatures, so Creature became his name. And from that moment on this very special dog worked his magic.

Creature changed our lives. The years of volunteering with animal rescue, the thousand of dollars given to animal groups, staying in the US rather than returning to the UK, and most importantly the rescue of other dogs; Vinnie, Gus, Lizzie and Natalia… all because of Creature’s magical influence. 
His charisma, confidence and swagger meant people never forgot him. Dr. Lisa in Malibu would always brighten up and excitedly call his name when she saw him, and he brightened up in return, especially when he saw treats. Years after leaving Malibu he was back walking around the shops and out of nowhere an inquiring voice said “is that Creature?” Someone whose name we didn’t even know remembered Creature.

He had that magnetic quality about him. In his early years the good looks and twinkle in his eyes made him a lovable rogue, a Joe Namath among dogs according to his grandfather. Later on as he greyed he took on the persona of being the George Clooney of dogs. 

Happy trails our dear, dear friend. You changed us all, and all of us are so much better for it. 

Thank you Creature.

Craig & Tracey Kleber

A poem that captures all you and other animals deserve, and will receive, as sure as the sun will rise.

A Place in Heaven
Is there a place in Heaven

Where dog companions go

Before I'd want to go there

I'd really need to know

A being pure of spirit

And a being without sin

Is surely one that should be there

But does God let him in?





The theologians argue

A soul is what they lack

But one who's always there for you

Should be given something back



I could not face eternity

Without paws and tails

And if that's what religion thinks

Then that is where it fails

I hope God doesn't let me down

I'm sure He knows their worth

For we who have been loved by them

Have Heaven here on Earth!

SHE MADE IT, COLOMBA SUPER WOMAN

Thank you all for your prayers and lovely thoughts for our Colomba. She is doing OK and under morfine pain killer . Anesthesia was very long,( almost five hours) but they were able to complete all the procedures we planned .

Her uterus was very very large and filled up with a lot pus.

They were able to remove the mammary tumor.
They removed the big lump on the neck. Very likely , it is a benign growth, but it was very rich in blood vessels, so this procedure was very bloody.

Last procedure... Dental . Very long procedure as you can immagine. Many teeth had to be removed.( not too many anyhow), Now she has a beautiful smile Colomba were picked up today by Martina and Pio. She is resting out at the hospice in her own room.

Thank you Dr Carlos Damiani and Team, Martina and Pio for driving her during her critical period, and un critical time.


That's Amore!
