Ever since June a few Shepards were seen in La Cala Mijas and Mijas Costa... The killing station was informed, but both dogs were too smart and didn't let the killing station catch them. The months went by and none of them were caught... Mama got pregnant... and again.. and again.. 

When I was on a walk with my dogs last week, i saw 8 Shepards all of a sudden, in the streets of our urbanisation... shy and careful, scared, hungry, avoiding us.. 

A big action was started... the killing station was alarmed again, because they were so called dangerous and attacking little dogs... that was not true... The whole family stayed strong together and didn't bother anyone. But their lives were now in danger and rumors started that they were about to get shot... 

When the phone rang last Sunday, I was asked to help give them a place in the shelter.. My answer was quickly given... It was an unbelievable warm cooperation between Marta, who used a fantastic cage and was very professional, and Rescue Paws, Rescate de Galgo's, Alison and Hazel and of course our own team... 

In the end we could offer a home at Sunday night 22u to 5 members of the family in our refugio.. They will not be shot. 
Only now a big action will start to have them sterilized, all 4 females are probably pregnant.. and then to have them socialized.. Mama and Daddy must have been home dogs once.. but their puppies are now young adults and already pregnant, must come from far...slowly.. 

They were of course covered in pests and some of them are very skinny... But the most important thing is that 5 out of 8 are safe now... Of course we ware hoping that we we will be able to rescue to others as well but at least they don't stand out that much anymore than when the whole family came by just when some woman is taking her 2 chuhuahua's for a walk... 

We could use all the help you can give... another 5 big dogs....
