It's with great joy that I can announce to all my local readers that the charity Books for Dogs created several years ago by a bunch of british and Americans ladies located in Umbertide, close to Perugia has a website: booksfordogs.org where you'll find a lot of news, photos of dogs in adoption and much much more.
If you are also curious, you can visit the profile of the various ladies behind this charity, sometimes "lived" as mysterious, because unknown, with a brief biography of some of them. Gill the scones lady, Penny, the founder, Angela, as the name tell that, the messenger of news for all estimators of the charity.
Not only: the ladies launched themselves and the charity on Facebook creating a page called booksfordogs_libripercani, very well done and where you can post impressions, asking info if you want to adopt a dog or if you need to donate something to the ladies for this good cause.
The ladies are exttremely active and only on 2018 they accumulated more than 12.500 euros for the charity. "Never seen all that money before. It has been a wonderful year."
At the moment Angela shared with us the news that the charity recently donated 3.100 euros to Ponte Pattoli refuge for various urgent urgently needed things. "We are very pleased to be able to be of help to Lia who runs the refuge and works tirelessly for the dogs in her care" confirms Angela while she sips a warm cup of tea, eating a delicious scone while we are talking.
It's a never-ending job the one of a charity like Books for Dogs, because shelters, refuge, dogs, first of all need constantly something else.
"At the moment we are searching for a new home for Rambo. This dog is 7 years old microchipped, vaccinated, sterilised, and has a passport, if you love to travelling a lot and you don't want to stay too distant from your beloved dog. His previous owner is dead and at the moment the dog is alone waiting for someone else in grade of loving him as his previous owner did."
The ladies are also searching for used books, DVDS, used cloths but in wonderful conditions, puzzles, games of various genre, kitchen items, cups, plates, forks, candlesticks, sofas, chairs, furniture, items for living rooms: whatever you can think at.
So: if you are throwing away something remember that these ladies will be more than happy of accepting your old but good clothes, your books if you can't keep them anymore because too many, DVDS and all the possible stuff you can think at.
These ones the latest books I brought home.
I love spending a lot of time in their shop on Wednesday and Saturday. There is also a comfy chair where I can sit and read, while I am choosing the various books; but it's not just books.
If you need warm blankets for the long approaching winter-time you can find them at a cheap price; if you search for hot bottles of water, well, go for them, because they have them. I bought two hot bottle of water and they are of great quality!
I also bought a beautiful red shirt; wonderful color and again great quality.
If you search for a good used bag, it's the best place where you can find it.
It's not important the reason why you can stop by at the second hand bazar and bookstore of the ladies of Books for Dogs. I just know that in that place you will find what you are searching for.
