My Story:

I am English, my husband is Italian. We moved to the south of Italy nine years ago after living in Portugal for four years. The amount of sick and abandoned dogs and cats here is appalling . We do what we can to help but unfortunately we can't take them all. I currently have 28 dogs and 6 cats in my home, but feed numerous others on a regular basis.
