The heart-breaking story of TIME (with a happy ending)

Many of the dogs brought into Rifugio Fata are suffering from health issues, some of them very serious. Poor little Time was spotted at Lamezia Terme airport by an Australian tourist returning home from her summer holiday. She spotted him wondering the streets near the airport in a horrendous state, but could not stop to help as she had to catch her plane. Luckily for Time, this caring tourist researched dog rescue help in the area and found Rifugio Fata. She reported her sighting to Francesca who sent out a team of volunteers to find him. Unfortunately, poor little Time was very ill and terrified. He bit two of the volunteers who were trying to catch him, but they persisted, knowing that if they walked away, he was doomed. After working patiently for three hours in 40 degree heat, the volunteers managed to secure this poor soul and get him to safety. He was taken back to Rifugio Fata, where his healing began.

Time has been under the care of the amazing team at Rifugio Fata for two months now. They managed to raise the funds to cover his extensive medical bills, and - in an incredible turnaround - he is now well on his way to recovery. Go Time!!
