1. I volunteer for my local animal shelter and help rescue homeless cats and dogs. I wonder if this is an interest area that might be met in Italy and if so, are there specific towns that have well organized shelters that I should check out?
2. If I were to move with my dog from the US to Italy, would there be a quarantine period before my dog could live with me in Italy? Or a lot of other red tape for my dog to enter Italy?
3. Since I don't speak Italian and am getting too old to learn it very quickly, are the certain towns where this will be less of an issue? Or are all of the touristy areas equally accepting of English?
