Is the Journal a blog?
No. It’s a digital magazine (PDF + online flipbook) created by Dog Lovers World’s, an Italian social enterprise supporting real shelters.
On the website you only find previews — full issues are available exclusively for subscribers.
How does the subscription work?
It’s a one-time annual subscription ($34.90/year).
Once you subscribe, you’ll receive an email with your login details to access the Members Area, where you can read and download all issues of the Journal anytime.
Where does the money go?
90% of the net funds are donated to Italian dog shelters to cover food, veterinary care, and facility needs.
The remaining 10% helps cover platform maintenance and hosting costs.
We publish regular transparency updates so you can see the real impact of your subscription.
Can I cancel or unsubscribe?
Yes. Your subscription renews automatically every year through Stripe.
However, you can cancel anytime before the renewal date — directly from the confirmation email or by contacting us at [email protected].
Once canceled, you’ll still keep full access to the Journal until the end of your paid year.
What is Issue Zero?
Issue Zero is our free introductory edition — a preview of the Journal’s visual style and mission.
Future issues include more sections, stories from shelters, data insights, and interviews with volunteers and rescuers.
What does “adopting a shelter” mean?
By subscribing, you symbolically adopt a shelter rather than an individual dog.
Your subscription supports food, care, and rescue operations for all the dogs living there — especially those who are still waiting to be adopted.
