Homeless dogs of Hildago County, Texas
Homeless dogs are common at our field site. So we bring them home! So far 14 homeless dogs and puppies have found home across the country, especially in the NYC tri-state area.
Ellie, the Newfie (pictured below), is also our lab mascot. Sadly, Ellie is retired from this work and now spends her days sleeping on her soft bed.
