Back in 2010, I had an email from another lady, Julia, with a holiday home here in Puglia. It was a desperate plea, she had found a starving pup, which she first tried ignoring, but soon realised that she was not going anywhere so she took her in and began feeding her. Of course, what…
Back in September 2011, we were asked to take a look at a pup by an elderly couple. When we saw her, it looked like she couldn’t possibly survive. She was very tiny and looked like she had been mauled by a bigger dog. She was quite lame when she started to walk. We had…
One morning in September 2011 our friend Liz, who has a holiday home not far from us, went to get into her car and found this dear little pup hiding underneath it. What could she do? She brought her to us! Those 👀 eyes, they were piercing blue, what a gorgeous little girl she was.…
Pino was one of our biggest challenges! June 9th 2010. I received an email via my web site, from an English lady who has a holiday home here in Puglia. She and her husband had been on their way to the airport via the motorway, to catch a plane back to the UK, when they…
Ah, beautiful Ellen 💕 In May 2010 when we had our friends Mandy and Ali staying with us, we came upon a pair of Dalmatians. They were living by a communal rubbish bin, sleeping on an old mattress. One had recently had pups. We found Ellen and her sister/mother not far from where we live.…
In April 2010, our friend Bob called for us to please come and look at a dog! Oh my, when we saw him, well words fail me, he was literally a skeleton covered with patchy fur, the poor boy. We of course brought him home. We called him Bob. He was a Bretton, a hunting…
In August 2010 Mino found Lupo by the roadside, he was thin, dirty, and full of fleas and ticks, he didn’t look as if he had eaten in a long time. So he brought him home. He was around 18 months old. Lupo had been fending for himself for some time, judging by the state…
Gyp again was brought to us, by the same relative of Mino’s with the same promise! Just to look after till he was found a home, ha, that was 11 years ago. He came from the same village that Nana came from. You’d think we would learn a lesson, wouldn’t you. We have had him…
In 2010, we found Janey, starving,not far from where we live. She had clearly just had pups. We waited whilst she ate and then followed her in search of the pups. We found three little ones, in an old abandoned villa. We made a bed for Janey and her three pups and left. We came…
Tinker was a sweet lovable puppy. For me it was love at first sight, he was delightful. I found him by the rubbish bins scavenging, I was driving home from a friends. I have never in my life before seen so many ticks on one dog. The insides of his ears were smothered in them,…
