Lovingly nickenamed “Abuelo” (Grandpa), this Cocker approximately 12 years old was found stray near our home. We took him in and with the help of Dr. Roger Alfaro, hoped to find his owners. Unfortunately these never showed up albeit all our efforts to locate them.

Grandpa was adopted by a great friend of ours, so that his remaining years are to be spent away from the dangers and mistreatment of street life. We check on him regularly.

THIS JUST IN¡¡¡: Grandpa, even with the years on his back, low energy and typical pains of his age has managed to impregnate his housemate (a mix breed of Maltes and Pekinesse). Two cute live puppies were born… although it is still not clear to whom they bear resemblance.

Temporarily named “Orejona” (Big ears), this Basset Hound aprox. 4 years old was found and helped by us near my office. It has a few weeks astray, according to the neighbors and had been helped and sent back to the street at least once before.

Temptation to keep her was great given her age and sweet character. Nonetheless after 3 days with her we took her to the adoption center. This was not a pleasant experience: first for leaving “Orejona” and by the despicable service that the employees gave us, even when we repeatedly told them that she was not our dog and that we were trying to help her. After a few days there we learned that she had been adopted to live in a farm with another Basset. We trust he is fine.

La Negra (Blacky) was picked up from the street temporarily by a neighbor so that she could give birth. We supported the effort y helped out with the feeding. Blacky being used to the hard life of the street, our main concerns were with the puppies. We took care of their immunizations and that responsible families adopted the majority of them.

Albeit our best efforts, some of the puppies had to be taken to a dog shelter so that there they could find a home to keep them. Sadly, a few days after this Blacky was killed by a car.

"Nahomi" is our most recent rescue. We found her on our way to work, astray on the street, with heatstroke and very disoriented. She is a Newfoundland bitch, about 2.5 years old and with 115 pound. She has a commanding presence but has heart on her sleeve and extrudes loving kindness.

She spent three days with us, sharing the house with Sabandija, tolerating her at first and then getting and playing along a lot at the end, albeit a monumental difference in size and weight.

Luckily, her owner was found quickly and Nahomi returned home safely.
