Default Canine Defence - L'Aquila

Today I received the following email from Francesca at the Canine Defence League at L'Aquila. I know that many of you will be getting 'tired' of the constant requests for donations, I apologise to you for thrusting this under your noses.

For those members in Marche if there is enough interest I will organise a collection point and drive donated dog food to the refuge for L'Aquila myself. PM me!


gentile moxie,
ci scusiamo per il ritardo nella risposta e vi ringraziamo per l'email.
siamo in un momento di grande difficoltà, per cui leggiamo le email non molto di frequente: per un contatto più diretto potete chiamarci al 329.9064859.
vi ringraziamo di cuore per l'offerta!
potete fare una donazione a questi riferimenti:

- ccp n° 14046676 intestato a Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane Sez. L'Aquila;
- Conto Banco Posta IBAN IT 61 O 07601 03600 000014046676 - intestato a Lega Nazionale per la Difesa del Cane Sez. L'Aquila;
- Paypal: info@cuccefelici.com (Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron, Carta Aura, PostePay).

oppure, se avete cibo da donare, venire a trovarci nel nostro rifugio di l'aquila.

contattateci per maggiori informazioni: nella home page e nel blog del nostro sito, tutti gli aggiornamenti.

grazie di cuore,

francesca

Many thanks to Gala for pointing me in the right direction - if you could post this in Pets Corner I would be grateful

We donated to the LAV earthquake fund- they are helping out pets and farm animals as well. Saw it here: Pets in Italy: Abruzzo Earthquake - Aid for Animals

Moxie!!!(and him) will go bananas if you bring home another dawg!

Seriously though, anybody in the Sarnano, San Ginesio, Penna area can PM me regards animal OR human requirements and I will happily collect, or arrange a meeting place.

Thanks to all for your continued support.

There appears to be a little confusion re the pet food collection.
On Friday the beds will be taken by the Comunanza Red Cross to the disaster zone.
The pet food collection has not yet got a delivery date. We are awaiting for PMs from anybody wanting to donate something, contacting pet food shops, finding out how much interest there is. Moxie WILL be going to the Aquila canine refuge shortly, hopefully with a car load of supplies.
Please PM either me, Moxie or Sarah and Mark if you would like to donate some animal food. Anybody outside of this area who wants to do something for the animals, there are two options, PM any of us and we sort out a PayPal account to use or else use the following link (thanks Noma):-

Moxie,
Thank you for arranging the PayPal details for me. I sent a little donation off last night for the pooches (and any other animals of course). If I can, I'll send a bit more if you manage to do another 'food run'.

Thank you all for this initiative - you're all GREAT!

Default Update

Just a brief update on the animal food collection as I have received another email from the refuge.

carissima moxie,
grazie di cuore per il sostegno.
le crocchette complete vanno benissimo, grazie!
il nostro rifugio si trova a Paganica: l'indirizzo completo è "Località Aquilentro - 67100 Paganica - AQ", ma nessun navigatore è in grado di trovarlo. Se avete un navigatore inserite "Via S. Giustino - 67100 Paganica (AQ)" e arriverete nei pressi: da li vi veniamo a prendere noi (siamo un pò in campagna.
comunque venendo dall'adriatica è sufficiente uscire a l'aquila est.
chiamateci al 329.9064859 quando state arrivando.
verreste il 1° maggio quindi?

grazie di cuore per il sostegno.

francesca

So...
We will be heading up to the refuge on the 4th of May with as many cars filled with animal food as we can organise.

Ideally they would like dry complete food - The plan is to collect as much money as we can from here (please PM sarahandmark for the PayPal info) then buy in bulk 20kg sacks hopefully this way we will be able to get more for the money and be able to swing some free sacks too!

In addition we are canvassing local shops to help out.

If there is any interest from individuals in the area from the Tolentino, Amandola Fermo triangle we will organise collection points. Please bear with us as we are a tiny 'team' at the moment as one of our group is poorly.

Please help if you can

www.cuccefelici.com

I promise that we will post photos so you can see precisely where your kind donations have gone.

Please PM Moxie, DavidUno, sarahandmark or Hopla

Please send me the PayPal details too.

My pooches are going to eat leftovers today, so that you guys can buy some proper biscuits for the animals in need.

We've just been offered the use of a large van and driver by another forum member for the animal food run....AmazingMarche. THANK YOU
So let's fill it!
For anybody around southern Marche, we are collecting!

Hi spoke to Francesca at the refuge. They are also in need of bedding, collars, toys, food bowls, and medicines (wormers, frontline, etc.) So anything pet related will be greatly appreciated.
