Another appeal comes from the kennel of Gioia del Colle in Puglia:
And many others still need help at this time, so we recommend that you contact the kennel of your city to give their contribution to animals less fortunate than ours, which in addition to family love also have a warm kennel in which to sleep.
They need blankets, kennels, stoves, food and hay.
Bowls that freeze
Another tip for those who take care of animals in difficulty, since the bowls of water these days freeze: try to build a small shelter using polystyrene, for example using containers such as those of ice cream that they give in an ice cream parlor. If possible, wrap the containers with straw and keep them in a sheltered but sunny place
