Books for Dogs is an important charity located in Umbertide, Umbria. Founded by two Britons, this reality wants to better the existence of all that poor dogs located in various kennels of the area.
That two British ladies, legend wants, started to take action when the Christmas' Day of many years ago, in visit to the kennel of Lerchi, they noticed a lady dog who had given at birth some puppies that would have been dead because in... the cold. Warm water was missing like many other indispensible services. Britons, Americans, Canadians are a large group in Umbertide, years ago there were more than 107 families; these ladies asked for help. They sorted out some problems, but...It was necessary to present a continuative welfare to these dogs. How to do that?
The idea was the creation of a charity passing through the sale of books.
And here we are.
Angela Nutt speaks with joy of the latest events: "A few weeks ago a work group was organized to carry out some essential work at Ponte Pattoli canile. The day went well and a lot of work was accomplished."
These ladies actively promote dogs adoptions.
"We have been so happy that a lady called Bina adopted Gaia and that Tim Hudson and his lady adopted Ponte, an 8-week old puppy."
Another dog, Fiera, has had 7 lovely puppies. Four boys and three girls. They need names and these ladies want to involve the supporters of Books for Dogs "to come up with some suggestions." Angela adds that the winner will receive a prize.
With the time the book-stall was replaced by a shop, a real emporium where people find used books, DVDS but also clothes, games, jewelry, everything for the house, from blankets to plates, glasses, and much more.
It's a real charity shop.
The shop is back to life after the lockdown...Do you want to say something, Angela?
"We have been doing really well and our footfall
Angela tells then that they donated 1000 euros to "Help Lia at Ponte Pattoli with funding her invaluable helpers at the canile." These ladies donated some money to Morenna as well. "She is our dog training friend."
A new ambitious project? "We are still exploring the possibility of funding a small surgery on the Ponte Pattoli site which the vets can use for much-needed treatments."
Now let's speak of dogs and urgent rehoming.
"Monna is ten years old, female very friendly, she loves people; Kikko is about 5 years old; he is also very friendly and loves humans; Ringo can't live anymore in that little apartment; contact 351 222 5969; we found a new, lovely dog at Montefalco. He was starving but he has been lucky. He found compassionate people, but they will leave soon for Milan. If any of you can offer a home, we would be happy."
There are great news regarding Ponte Pattoli. "Lia needed a new car because her old ones was falling to bits. We asked around and found for Lia a new, used car. This one is still serviceable. Now Lia has a great car which will help her with the tranportation of of dogs and so on. We want to thank to donor for the kindness."
