Animals without Limits Update

Animals without Limits will hopefully soon have its own web site. We bought the domain and hope to find a web-designer that can help us create a fresh new AWL homepage. Shortly, AWL will also have its own blog to update news and projects and donations.


Food donations are coming in. Some persons buy a bag of dog/cat food every time they go and food shop. At some stores there are dog food that are 50% off. I bought two bags yesterday.


We got three bags of blankets from Naples Friends of Animals. Fantastic! Thank you so much to Genni (President), and her husband, Jason for taking your time and driving them over to our house. Genni and Jason are busy and doing wonderful things for the NFOA organization, together with "some" volunteers. And, they still have time to think and help the AWL. That is big!


The number of road killed animals are "low" this season (July/August) because of the high heat. The dogs roams around at 0400 in the morning, and the number of cars are very few by that time. It probably doesn't hurt that in August, all of Italy seems to go on vacation... so perhaps less traffic as well. There sure is less traffic in front of our house, thank goodness.

But the number of dogs suffering from de-hydration and strokes are getting higher, and the dogs become an easier target from some peoples' cruelty.


Please put a bowl of fresh water outside, a little further away from your house so they can drink.

That will bring Amore to thirsty Amore

Three Legged Amore

I ran into Genni, the President of Naples Friends of Animals with her husband today, and they told me about their newest rescue. He's a full blooded Cane Corso Mastiff, about 8 months old, but severely malnourished (about 50 lbs when he should be near 100!) and with a horribly broken rear leg. They think it has been broken for months, sticks out at a weird angle to the rear, and will likely require amputation. (Genni says he is an amazing dog)

There is something about three-legged dogs... when they run and play despite their "disability", it shows how we all should take our setsbacks in stride, adapt and overcome.

This conversation with Genni and her husband reminded me of a three-legged client I had had back in Sweden. He was very happy and loved his family, but he was "irritated" because the hallway into the house was always filled with shoes, everywhere! He fell, lost balance and it was always so many shoes!

His Master looked at me with her huge eyes, mouth wide open; "I cannot believe what I am hearing! I take care of other children in my home while their parents are working, and I have four children myself."

She looked at the dog then to me; "I have been nagging on the children to please put the shoes together but no one is listening."

A couple of weeks later an e mail came from this lady thanking me for an interesting session;

"I sat down with all the children and told them that our dog had been to a lady that could 'talk' to the animals, and our dog complained about the shoes everywhere. He was afraid of getting hurt."

"After that conversation the shoes have been placed beautifully together in a long row next to the wall, because no one wants him to fall and get another twisted ankle"

This is children Amore to our four legged--er three legged friends.

AWL are sending Amore to NFOA's Mastiff.

Food Donation

Vittoria and Olivia, my project helpers and I went to donate food to shelter dogs at the St Francesco Shelter (I wrote about them earlier)

I want to thank some of the food donaters; Sabine von Vultejus and Gennie the President from Naples Friends of Animals organization. the struggle to help the animals should (and does) transcend individual groups and people. However we can help, we should, even if it means giving to others who are also helping.

This is barking great Amore!
