Last month, they had an outbreak of kennel cough and distemper. Sadly, twelve dogs have died - 7 puppies and 5 elderly dogs. They have isolated the sick dogs and are getting on top of the problem, but, as you can imagine, their vet bills are very high and they still need to buy more medicine.
And to make matters worse, they are going through an unusually cold winter in Southern Italy, so they have had to build a special room to keep their patients warm.
If you can spare any change at all to help towards their costs and help them through this difficult period, it would make a huge difference.
The team at Rifugio Fata have been rescuing and rehoming dogs for over a decade. They are dedicated to making a difference for homeless dogs in a very challenging part of the world. Please give what you can to help them continue their amazing work.
