HELLO BIG WORLD

GREAT DANE FAMILY--ALANO

Trevor, the shy one.....

We still have mom and dad Great Dane that we rescued 2 months ago with 8 puppies. We have 4 puppies remaining available: Cindy and Morgana (F), and Trevor and Stewart (M). A Great Dane rescue organization in Italy is going to help us to adopt away the puppies (born 30 July) to great families. Momma and Daddy will hopefully go to Spain together, we need sponsors for that trip. A great home is awaiting them there.

Hilly Billy's from the country side....Me and Stewart!

Inquisitive Cindy....

Cindy surprise! Out for an evening stroll....

Our sweet Morgana.....

And momma dog, Lady, who we drove to Lega Pro to have her to be sterilized. No more litters for her! I'm sure she will thank us for the end to that strain on her body. Thank you to Pio for helping me in lifting 60 kg of reluctant Great Dane into my SUV!

ANOTHER DAY IN 'PARADISE'

Muffin is back from the vet clinic were she stayed for three days!!! Yapp Yapp inside and outside, wild rough games. She's now microchip, sterilized and vaccinated (de-wormed and frontline). She got a person who wants to adopt her in Torino but how can I get her up there?

And this little lion look a like puppy was found in Varcaturo and now got a family.

Phillipo (from Rossella's) is now waiting for his passport--4 months at a new kennel Marco Sanna--I walk him every second day-- adopter mother Ulla from Sweden sent money so I could buy a bed to him. He loves it! After 2 years in a "not so good" shelter laying on plastic and concrete he is now staying at a 3 star kennel. Soon, --4 months-- he will live in a 5 star home.

And we went to our Italian animal rescue friends. They found puppies full of flies and worms, they are now treated. And of course, Olivia was in heaven.

They also rescued this little sweet heart from being dog food to a big dog with sharp teeth. Roy contacted us he had seen the picture of her on FB and AWL introduced her. A good match we think and hope. Roy could pick "Sara" up today AWL had made sure she got her first vaccination/de worming before saying by by to her rescue family. Roy have already made appointment for microchip, and when time sterilization that AWL will sponsor.

But please don't forget those that suddenly non one want, sick and old. AWL biggest dream and goal is to open a hospice for them. Please help by sponsoring and we can ear mark them.

We are all one family!

SWEET HEARTS

Adorable puppies, rescued by Martina and Pio. I visited them and I could put them down in my handbag.

Found down by the railroad near the dog catchers shelters

They were so full of parasites that it took hours to remove them. Now, clean and shiny and up for a nice warm forever home.

WHAT A MORNING AT THE CLINIC

Marua rescued a starving doberman with terrible skin mange last year in June. Ever since she has educated, running to the vet, medicated and done everything. Bella is today getting serialized. Bella is up for adoption, but Maura promised her when she found her to make her strong and beautiful before getting her a good family. I admire Maura for keeping her word. Maura also helped me with the wonderful puppies Rose and Cody. They were adopted 2 months ago by Erica and her family. And we promised her too that they would be serialized and castrated.

They were of course charming us all. You could notice that they came from a good family.

In the car, Cody sang but Rose was quiet. But we didn't mind. At the vet with Dr. Gigi they were so good.

Even better behaving than me when I am visiting my doc.

More happened this day but that will be a follow up tomorrow.

PUPPIES BEING ADOPTED

Erica and her husband Adam, bundled up their two children, and braved the awful hail-storm, to visit Rossella's shelter to adopt a puppy. The wind and rain were miserable, sheets of it hitting the kennels, saturating all the dogs and puppies

The family picked two puppies, one girl and one boy. What a happy ending for these two. I wish the same for the mom and the rest of the siblings, and the puppies in the other kennel that they didn't have time to visit. What a beautiful start to the new year. Thank you Erica and Adam

AWL will make sure that these puppies will be healthy and stay so, and of course get them spayed, that is our New Year Resolution to this wonderful family.

And thank you AWL Jackie who took care of these puppies out at the shelter and then helped the family select their new pack-members! Even in the midst of the horrible storm!

You guys are Amore!

Fiori: A New Start in Life

Remember Fiori from the shelter were AWL went and cleaned twice? She was left alone with her brother in an apartment. Her family moved to their "home" country and didn't bring them with them. When we came to the shelter everyone could sense she was different. Incredibly loving and calm, and charmed us all. On top of everything she was pregnant (nobody knew!). Here are her sweet puppies (picture above and last picture). We hope they will have a good start in life, with someone that adopts them, and keeps them.

My husband picked Fiori up and brought her to LegaProAnimale--even Dr. Gigi thought she was sweet-- were she will be sterilized, de-wormed and treated with Frontline(tm). She was back in the SUV in a crate that she sneaked out from and climbed the whole way to Todd and sat in his lap the whole 45 minutes drive.

We got good news. Fiori is being adopted by Brian and his wife, they that adopted Lui. We wish them all the Amore and happiness together. Good Luck Fiori with your new family.

Animals Without Limits want to thank Tracey Kleber for her generous donation. She and her sister Megan are true loving animal lovers/helpers and with their wonderful heart the also encourage AWL to keep up our good work. That's Amore

Fiora is Getting a New Family

We are so happy to tell you that Fiora....remember?

This warm family that adopted Lui, will open their door to their home for Fiora, when she is done nursing the puppies.--the pups are up for adoption--

I hope it will be molto Amore....she deserves that and, so does the family who lost their dog tragically in April.

What A Surprise!

Remember this picture? Last time we helped clean Rossella Shelter, we all fell in love with the dog Fiora. She was so different from the others, we could tell right away; so loving and used to humans. We found out she had been abandoned by her former English family, left in their empty apartment together with her brother.

Well, to every one's surprise, she had been pregnant, and when we showed up to clean the shelter yesterday, she had had these beautiful pups. And we can tell you she is a wonderful mother. She is having her peace in a small building at the shelter were she can nurse kind of in peace and quiet. Do I need to say "They are up for adoption?"

Fiora and her puppies are proof that there is amore in the world.

We Do Have Heros Too

Denver's KUSA-TV reports on a tragedy averted, but with a shocking end. It started when a house in Golden, Colo., caught fire:
The home was a complete loss, but when firefighters heard barking coming from the basement, they learned that not everything was lost.
"We heard a report that there were dogs in there and we were like, 'Oh no,' " Nathan Wilis said, a firefighter with the Pleasant View Fire Department.
When firefighters reached the basement of the home, the same area where it is believed the fire started, they found two adult Yorkshire terriers and 15 puppies.

"They were pretty scared," Wilis said. "They were cold, they were wet, so we wrapped them in blankets and towels. They actually didn't have enough, so they had to cut them in half to get them in blankets."

Amore Fire Fighters....

Update on Puppy Project

Here is a picture of three of the five puppies at the "skeleton houses". They are growing up fast.

These three are now comfortable enough with me to approach. The other two are still not sure. Good for them!

They all seem healthy at present. Mom is making sure of that. We are continuing to visit and feed them regularly, and when I can get them all to come to me, we will be ready to move to phase II: vaccination and taking them to a safe foster place.

Please keep your fingers crossed for these amore siblings.

Yesterday's Mission

( The mother is on the second floor looking down on her puppies that are hidden under the big thorn bushes. This way she is confusing people and animals from where they really are. She is a smart mother)

Yesterday's mission together with Dr. Inga was a short "observation" mission at the skeleton place (you who have followed my blog are familiar with this place).

The puppies there are now getting big and my fear that someone will poison them, or have their dog kill them are tremendous. My instinct was right and confirmed when we stopped at the place nearby were a big dog lives and Dr. Inga asked the men to keep their dog under observation and let us be able to come and go for a couple weeks to work on the puppies.

I froze when I followed the vet into this place, like I could sense danger, the whole inside of me started to get nervous. I just wanted to leave. Thanks to Dr. Inga and her brilliant ability of telling them about our project, we have their permission and hopefully now can work on this mission. I am going to the puppies feeding them to get them to know me so we can catch and vaccinate them; we already have a foster family who can take care of them until May.

Ana it is so wonderful of you. The puppies are very hungry and have started to eat from the carcasses of the puppies from before. We have to hurry but we cannot hurry the puppies, this is what makes it difficult.

We cannot catch them since they are hiding in a big area of bushes with big thorns. That's also why it is easier to give hungry animals food with poison in, they come out and eat and then the poison starts working in them slowly and painfully.

We need a lot of good pates', good luck and good speed.
