Santa Lucia, Mexico, Jul 14 (EFE).- A large number of malnourished, injured and/or abandoned dogs had been left to their devices until recently at the construction site for a new commercial airport serving Mexico’s capital.
But thanks to an initiative by the Mexican military, which is tasked with building and running that air facility, dozens of these canines have been rescued and given a temporary home at a newly outfitted shelter in this town in the central state of Mexico.
The goal of Los Perritos de Santa Lucia is to “provide care to all those dogs who need a temporary home before they find an ideal and perfect place to continue their lives,” 2nd Lt. Carla Medellin, the shelter’s veterinarian, told Efe on Wednesday.
