Hi am very new to Italy community and on my second day of browsing found the articles regarding all your pets, which promps me to ask how I can find out more about support for those who recue Dogs the reason being: We bought a derelict Trulli in Puglia (we live in England) with the dream of retiring to Italy. A lady has been caring for stray dogs which live in buildings on our land, she was of course concerned that we would ask her to remove the Dogs, and they are lovely Dogs, but as we can not live there yet we could not see any problem them being there. Each time we go they seem to grow in number and some how this lady is managing to feed them, she is by no means wealthy, but goes daily to her "beloved Dogs" and she takes them mainly pasta based meals.  My question is is there any help she could get with the cost of caring for these strays?  We said we would try to put up some proper housing for them (it is quite a big plot of land and very rural).  I did wonder if it might be the start of a Dog sanctury and I did wonder if I could set up sponsorship for them here in England but do not know how the laws of charities work in Italy. Any ideas or knowledge from the community would be very welcome. (there are about 8 or 9 Dogs now).
