Siamo un gruppo di volontari che dopo anni di attivismo e volontariato nei canili delle province di Milano, Monza, Como e Varese, abbiamo deciso di dedicarsi completamente a salvare cani dai canili lager di tutta Italia.

Vitadacani ODV is a voluntary not-for-profit association which works for the protection of animal rights. It fights to combat abandonment, vivisection, the exploitation, maltreatment and trade or trafficking in animals of any kind (for hunting, the circus, the fur trade, animal fighting, force feeding)and tackles the issue of strays. It also promotes a vegan culture.

The Animal Sanctuary Capra Libera Tutti is a place where animals which are usually considered as products are saved from exploitation and slaughter and find refuge. About 400 animals live in complete freedom, here they are not considered neither ingredients nor products. For their maintenance, for medical care and for the preservation of the facilities, constant help is needed to ensure that this place can continue to exist and resist. The total costs exceed 250 euros per day.

Io cammino con Fido è un'associazione di volontariato costituita nel 2012 con l'intento di poter aiutare concretamente animali in difficoltà; nello specifico cani maltrattati, sfruttati, dimenticati e abbandonati per strada, cani anziani che nessuno vuole più. Come Associazione ci poniamo l'obiettivo di salvare “l'ultimo” di loro! E' un progetto importante nel quale metteremo tutte le nostre energie, tempo e cuore ma naturalmente avremo sempre bisogno dell'aiuto di tutti.

It was December 2014 and we were a group of friends who volunteered at the Parcocanile Vitadacani in Arese. One evening we found ourselves talking about a news that had saddened us very much: a homeless man had died frozen in Milan, in total indifference. From a shared thought, we felt the need to do something also for human beings in difficulty and so we came up with the idea: to prepare vegan meals, hot drinks and bring them to homeless people.
