Millions ..thank you NAVY Napoli for donation the cat and dog food. We will gladly share it with the oldies and also shelters in big need. Anna, thank you for helping and being our contact person.
A big thank you to Stephen Marty who picked up the donation and drove it to Lago Patria AWL Hospice. And on his way he fed some stray cats. That was a great action!
I have to tell you the whole story. My phone rang at 20.30 one evening and I had had a horrible day with a lot of hard work and difficult cases and difficult people to deal with. I looked at the phone and it said “Barbara German Shepherds” This was a Dutch family that had adopted 2 puppies from us several weeks ago. In my negative mind at that moment I thought, “gosh they don’t want the puppies anymore.”
In honor of the donation, we had a little bit of bubbles, and the four legged oldies thought it was fun with so much attention and love.
I have always seen these kinds of big checks in magazines and on TV, and always thought it would be wonderful to hold one. And let me tell you, it was wonderful.

Look at this beauty, she loved it. By the way, this female is so calm and well behaved and she is up for adoption. The family doesn’t want her. If we didn’t have 17 dogs I would take her in a heart-beat. She is the most wonderful, well behaved kind dog I ever met.
Anna and Cindy did a good job washing dogs, some didn’t want to at first but afterwards they felt great.
This “little” one didn’t want to walk up to the bath tub.
The whole team helping out, and calm well behaved children join too.
Another bath…..
Megan and Stumpy, he was so in love with Megan it was heart-breaking watching. Since we knew that Megan and Tracey “only” were here for a couple of days volunteering. Stumpy from a past blog that ate his tail and AWL rescued him from bleeding to death. Look at him!
Brett and Nate were the great dog walkers. We were so amazed over how many dogs they got to walk, and after every walk they brushed the dog before putting him in. We were amazed.
This little one was found by Angela. He came walking on a very busy street in this condition, nearly being hit by trucks. We named him Fiore since we think he looks like a flower that with the right medicine and love, will soon bloom. We need help with donations to make that become reality.
Tracey and Megan flew in a couple of days from the States to help out. Stumpy was so in Amore heaven.
Here they come Anna and Cindy, super volunteers that had the day before collected money on Base and then bought dog food that they brought with them. That’s Amore
Last Sunday awl had a food drive to Rosella Shelter out in Accera. We also donated antibiotic
Mark, Cindy, Anna, Olivia, Angela with family, Brett, Nate, John, Megan, Tracey, Todd, Mia THANK YOU.
Brett did a great job, it was 32 C the sun was strong.
Nate, carried also alot of heave bags. Rosella was so happy for the donations. Thank you guys for making a difference.
That’s Amore.
After a month of hard research where I have visited many horrible shelters, some with up to 500 dogs in them, we now have our next focus/project. It is a nightmare: many are old, many are sick and many are begging to get out. Several of these shelters, or portions of them at least, are housing animals on behalf of the government, but the agency won’t pay the money for food and medicine for the dogs. According to the operators, they (government agency) claim they don’t have any money. The dogs are suffering yet according to the law they are not allowed to be euthanized.
AWL really needs your help now! We have decided to help one shelter this summer. This one in particular will not have any food for their 400 dogs. They are in debt at the dog-food dealer, who won’t extend any more food on credit to them. Without your help, these dogs will starve!

I thank Admiral David and Ylva Mercer (not related to me) for their generous donation, and Vania Lamanna at Support Site who is undertaking a big food drive through her network of friends and associates.
Thank you for helping us helping those who don’t have a voice.
Marie (UK) had told me about the puppies in Lago Patria and today I went with her to have a look at them and feed them. To my wonderful surprise their mother is the one I fed in Varcaturo for 2 years and then she disappeared. Happy to see she was doing well–and her puppies!
Then we drove to the NEX warehouse on Base to collect some dog food donations and cat food too. The cat food I gave to Lynn (UK) who is the Varcaturo cat lady. And the dog food we will drive to a new shelter this up coming Saturday.Last Friday picked up another big food donation from NAVY BASE NEX. We are so grateful to you all involved.
Saturday we drove out to St Francesco Shelter with 500 dogs and some puppies to Olivia’s and Max big joy. They were so happy for all the bags of dog food, thank you so much.
Max and Olivia were not happy when asked to put the puppies down. And boy, did they run around petting and playing with all the dogs. I had a hard time keeping up. They loved it.
