DO YOU WANT A HELPING HAND?

 Many times do we AWL (www.animalswithoutlimits.com) see horrifying pictures of old dogs in cages. The text tell us they have been there more than 10 years. In a cage, no grass, no bed, no healthy food. No medical attention. They smell and have bad skin problems.

We contact the shelter operators about many of them, asking if we can adopt them to our Hospice in Southern Italy, where the client can have their own bedroom, couch, small garden, healthy food, and a veterinarian that comes and makes sure they are not suffering. Most important is that they get attention and love, a place to call home.

The sad thing is that many shelters turn our offers down! They prefer to have their dogs like this for a slim hope that people will come and donate money to them. Many are scared of letting them go, they have been their "friend" for 15 years in that cage, wagging and hoping one day to get out. I do believe in some cases, it is similar to "horder syndrome" where the people just can't part with anything, even living creatures that are suffering. Some people are in worse condition than the dogs, and claim they love the dog, and don't want the dog to go to someone else. They say it is better if we help with money for medicine and food.

AWL does not do that. We never give money to shelters. We work with shelters that have trust in us and our veterinarian. Those who know who I am and what AWL stands for.

I urge FB readers to know that sometimes a dog is indeed suffering, but regardless of what we want, we are not allowed to do anything.

In February will we have some Senior rooms ready. I hope we can work together to put some deserving dogs in them.
That's Amore!
