With our car stuffed with dog food and treats, we drove 200 km to spend the Easter with the dogs from one of the country’s public pounds. More than 100 dogs forgotten there for so long, most of them imprisoned for life, behind the metal bars. We’ve been told that some of them have been there for 7 years already and nobody has ever been interested in adopting them. Once a stray dog is caught and thrown into a public pound he practically becomes inexistent. Except for the shelter’s staff, they rarely see other human beings. Beautiful, innocent, small, big, young, old, blind, ill, malnourished, scared, kind, black, white, colored, some still full of hope, others resigned…so many shapes and alternatives, yet all unwanted.

Their sad eyes tell so many stories.

We donated them food and tried to make their day brighter, to feel that someone cares for them, that they are not completely forgotten, but they need so much more…they need their lives back. And unfortunately their time is running out while waiting for the Human who never shows up.

Shelter dogs have a life and they have the right to live it.

Please consider adopting a dog from a public pound!
