MISSION FRIDGE COMPLETED

We drove out the fridge, and it was a horrible weather. It rained cats and dogs--bad joke--poor dogs.

Rossella was so touched for the gift from you all --see yesterdays blog--and I also want to thank you all who forwarded the e mails about "shelter in need". Thank you all, soon we will post videos from the happy refrigerator moment

Shelter in Need Now

AWL got kind of good news about the shelter that you saw on the video the 17th-- or the pictures I have posted more recently. The judge had directed to close down the shelter after Christmas, and the dogs would be transferred to another shelter named by many locals "Death Waiting Shelter"

Thousands of dogs on top of each other, cold wet concrete, in their own feces, waiting to die (but earning the owners 125 euros a month for each soul incarcerated there).

This shelter they are at now is horrible (watch the video), but we are all trying to get the dogs out for adoption or into foster homes. As horrible as this shelter is, it is actually better than where they would go to from there. But, our time is running out.

But are they being fed now over Christmas?

AWL has a plan but we need more time. We want 2-3 months, but the judge gave the shelter "solo" one month. Our dead line is the end of January!

I cannot close my eyes.

Please believe in AWL's goal, plan and wish. We will tell you along the way what we are doing....trust me.

These dogs are getting feed every 4-5 days....Since this shelter is under investigation/court order, and people have been convicted, we are walking on eggshells right now. So believe me when I can not yet write down all information. I have to be very careful, not to step on any one's innocent feet, or insult others, and the most important thing, to avoid jeopardising the animals life's.

We need money, foster homes, adoptions, volunteers that are willing to help AWL one weekend in January. I will assure you that it will be an adventure, but I will hold your hand and bring you into education and experience. Believe me, you will feel the gratitude from the Universe, me, AWL and the most important....the Amore dogs that are giving their life into your hands.

Shelter in Need

Saturday we went in to the Shelter in need. What can I say?

If you looked at the video I posted last Friday, you will understand that AWL need all the help to help the 70 dogs that are in this Shelter.

Have you helped someone you don't know?

We are puppies and no one plays with us!

The pictures will talk. Now it is up to you.

AWL are going out tomorrow again with more food and Amore and it is not enough.
