Oh my goodness. How does she get on with cats?
Can You Give a Home to a Kangaroo Dog?
Ariel is a lovely five-year old dog that was born without any front legs. She is kept in a kennel and has no space to move around. She is looking for someone to adopt her and this would ideally be someone with a big heart who has a lovely garden where she can move around freely (or as freely ...

Two Dogs Find Homes but Annie is Still Looking
Sometimes I feel like I am just posting appeal after appeal and no-one reads them. The ones I receive do the rounds on the internet, most are in Italian and I translate them and post them on the site. Well I got two pieces of good news today. First of all the blind little hound living under a bo...
Hear hear, I'll join you in that excellent resolution!
New Year's Resolution?
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Here in Tuscany, after the snow just before Christmas, we have had almost non-stop rain and everything is very soggy underfoot. I have been catching up with my emails and have just posted two new appeals, both for blind dogs. One is an abandoned...
I'll send you some, Fiona! Just give me a day or two...
Cats to the Fore
I feel I have been neglecting cats a bit in this blog, and in my own household come to that. Since the arrival of Gassie the internet rescue setter, our own three tame cats have not spent any time in the house and the three wild ones are fed on the wall behind the house. Gassie can jump on the w...
Well worth going - I'll be there helping to man the Books For Dogs stall - and the event is raising money for AISPA (Anglo-Italian Society for the Potection of Animals) too. Hope to see lots of people there!

Can You Help Annie? Left to Die in the Rubbish.
This is Annie, found in a rubbish bag a few weeks ago in the south of Italy. Pregnant, dirty and completely covered in her own excrement she was brought in by a volunteer who found her while at work. The little dog was trying desperately to escape from the sealed rubbish bag which had been dump...
Hi Fiona,
Great idea. There's an English woman called Elizabeth Buracchi near Arezzo who runs a cat/dog refuge there (she gets some support from Aispa) and many of her dogs go to Germany. Would be worth having a chat with her, she is really lovely. Send me a reminder and I'll look up her phone no. for you if you're interested! Love, Lucie x
Pet Lovers International Unite!
A recent influx of appeals for dogs and cats has got me thinking. We need some way of getting an international network going, so that some of these poor creatures stand a chance of being rehomed outside Italy. I know it is done for Greece and parts of Spain. I was even in touch (in a roundabout ...
