Chained up dog (he 's gorgous! ) needs new home.

Can anyone offer a loving home to a handsome and affectionate male dog?Alfie is chained up at an empty house near us, in Montefortino, visited almost daily by his sick owner. (owner has a progressive wasting disease )   He is a very sweet natured, friendly dog, about 5 or 6.  He is fed a very poor diet of scraps, and always very hungry.In snowy winter days, his owner cannot get to him, so unless someone else can he has nothing, and howls from hunger and loneliness.We have spoken with his owner, and at last he has agreed for us to help in re-homing AlfieIf you can help,please mail me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,chloepenning@yahoo.co.ukand thanks for reading this!
