She didn't have a great start in life, little Samara. She was found with her mum, Grace, and her nine brothers and sisters on a pile of garbage some distance from El Refugio. A friendly lady tried to help, put out food and water and made a shelter from a cardboard box. She couldn't find anyone in the locality who would take this little family away from what was a dangerous situation. No one would help, even the local protectorias.
It was getting colder and the rain was pouring down; this was very worrying especially since the puppies were very young. Mummy Grace was getting more restless as more people discovered her hiding place. So one night she moved them to somewhere she felt would be safer. The lady who had cared for them was very sad and worried. She searched for days until she found them. Sadly three of the puppies had disappeared and she also discovered that one of the survivors was sick and also blind.
We heard of their plight and offered to help. Denise, one of our volunteers, drove all the way to Baza, which is a long drive, to pick up Grace and the puppies Faith, Samara, Joe, Sam and Esperanza. The little blind puppy, Oscar, had already been collected by a lady who has experience rescuing blind dogs.
Our mummy Grace is still young, but her eyes tell a lot about her past. She is such a gentle, kind dog and a good mum who did everything she could to help her babies. Oscar, of course, already has a home. Four of the siblings - Faith, little Samara, Sam and Esperanza are all reserved. That leaves Mummy Grace and little Joe who are still looking for their forever families. Have you space for them in your home?

Mummy Grace looked after her family. Will you look after her?
Little Joe still needs a home.
