Local authorities are urgently appealing for assistance in finding suitable families for the animals. The deceased, Paolo Fravezzi, was the sole caretaker for the dogs. Following his death, the municipality has launched a mobilization effort to ensure the welfare of the animals. Officials are seeking responsible adopters who can provide appropriate care and a stable environment.
