Here’s a very small tribute to the 60 dogs that drowned when left unsupervised in an animal shelter up in Alba Adriatica that had inadequate drainage in the recent flooding. I sincerely hope that Abruzzo looks seriously at all its planning and those responsible for ‘animal welfare’ in future and learn by this grisly loss of life.
The floods are thought to have killed more than 100 animals in Teremo’s Alba Adriatic area and there is desperate need for those that have been managed to be rescued who are currently being housed in the local stadium to be given homes in which to recuperate. If you can offer any help on this front, not food etc they have that covered, please do contact Charlotte, [+39] 368 3903767, here’s the link to their Facebook page & local newspaper.
