YOYO's story is a true one and has, unfortunately, as it too often happens, a tragic ending.

A puppy thrown on the bank of a valley, found and rescued by a child in the neighbourhood and adopted by us. The rest of our gang, consisting of 9 dogs and 3 cats, also accepted him. It took almost 3 years of coexistence, friendship and joy until, one day, the puppy ended up in the house garden poisoned, in torments as we could not describe in words. This happened 2 years ago.

It was a time of crossroads, revolt and trauma. We had to make a decision: to continue or to take revenge! We decided to continue what we had already started a few years ago with other animal lovers, veterinarians and the nearest shelter: to help the locals to neuter their dogs or cats and to try to find people interested in adoptions.

We decided that there was another kind of "revenge": that of doing even more good for the unwanted animals, victims of the cruelty of some people. We have decided that YOYO will spread its wings and watch over our future actions and that we will co-opt the children in all our endeavors.

After years of hard work, we took the step to formalize the actions by creating an association, which we couldn't call anything other than: YOYO!
