Rueca is a victim of an animal hoarding case in Spain: a man kept 15 dogs in a small house, which attacked each other because of the confinement. In some cases, they also died from their bite wounds.
When Isabel and her comrades-in-arms from the animal protection organization ACDA heard about it, they immediately wanted to help, but at first fell on deaf ears with the city council.
It was only when they got a lawyer involved that the city administration was forced to take action.
Unfortunately, it all took far but too long for city officials to finally give the green light, because when the animal rights activists were finally allowed into the house, it was a place of horror:
A dog had been bitten to death by another male and in the middle of the chaos sat a mother with new puppies. Five were already dead and the others could be taken out by the animal welfare workers together with the mother.
Three puppies of them were already too weak and they also had to die. Only one puppy survived the fiasco together with the mother and he is now allowed to stay at the foster home forever.
So only for the mother Rueca a nice home is searched. She gets along very well with all her fellow dogs at the foster home and she has no problems with female dogs or male dogs.
However, Rueca is still suspicious of people. But she is improving from week to week and so we hope that a loving home would help her a lot.
Who will bring calm and the patience for this otherwise gentle, social bitch, who only receives a lot of love in her life at the foster home. So very gradually she is thawing out.
