On a cold, raining and foggy start to 2014 I made the journey down to Frosinone, with four others, as a new volunteer for ACL Onlus to check the welfare of approximately 130 dogs and puppies at one of many local canili. As a Pet Group Member and a long-standing animal lover and volunteer, this lifestyle is pulling me more into its clutches with every passing year. ACL Onlus (Associazione Canili Lazio), established in 2005, works at the national level to combat the issue of stray dogs, improve the welfare of dogs locked in public and private pounds, and create opportunities for adoption to hundreds of dogs located in the most remote pounds of the Frosinone (southern Lazio) area. ACL volunteers regularly visit the pounds, monitoring the health and wellbeing of the dogs, ensuring that the pound owners take proper care of their needs and adhere to Italian rules and regulations, and most importantly, handling adoptions. ACL also uses its resources (which come from donations and volunteers) to rescue stray dogs and provide them with medical care, temporary hospitality, re-education, etc.
