I Need Your Help

At the end of this week I am going on a new mission, to do research and take pictures.

Many shelters here are run for profit... they get paid by the government for each dog they "shelter". So there is little or no motivation for the operators to find homes for the dogs. In many of these concentration camps-for-dogs, up to 1000 dogs or more are being held in horrible conditions. They will never get out unless someone adopts them, and the chance of being adopted by a family is near zero.

I have been told they are sitting on a cold wet floor, (one square meter) day in and day out. No exercise. Some are sick and in terrible condition.

Already I feel very bad going there, and I would rather stay home with my four healthy loving dogs.

I need your support to get the strength to walk into these places, where I know the dogs are very unhappy.

Their freedoms are gone, they are just waiting to die.

Their days are so long. Remember when you have to sit still and wait, for maybe one hour, how restless and bored you become. Well, they are there forever!

So when you see homeless dogs, wait to feel sorry for them, they are at least having some kind of freedom. Every dog is unique, and has it’s own story to tell. Wait and listen before you judge. Maybe he is a lucky stray dog!

This is not Amore but please help me give them some kind of Amore!
