Tulipa

They were born in the wild somewhere in Cortijo Real, a slum in Algeciras. We didn't see their mommy anywhere. People had already noticed them and some brought food and drink, but no one could catch them because they were us getting smarter and hiding in abandoned caves in this dense campo.

The dogs were in danger and so a large-scale campaign was set up to catch them in a cage that belonged to a woman in the neighbourhood. They did not get any food the day before, because we wanted to see them all walking together in that cage. Once the cage was set up, the nice smelling food was put in the cage, and after we had withdrawn into the distance we soon saw curious ears going back and forth, with a hungry stomach.

Soon they went into the cage and went to eat, only Tulipa hesitated, but luckily they all ended up in the cage. Eureka! Thank God, everyone went in, none stayed behind. But the fear of these dogs went through our marrow and bone. Never before had a human hand touched them, their world had collapsed. They defended themselves with all their might.

Once in our shelter they became calmer and by us talking and interacting with them, they are now getting a little better every day. Every day we make progress with these 5 family members, who will one day become very happy dogs, in a family, with their owners.
