It is ironic, and sad, how an uneventful day is not a norm
in the rescue line. There is hardly a day that we go on our rounds and don't
find another of our street dogs in need of help.

| Brown, unsterilized male with left eye bugling |
This time, it was 17 dogs, 2 of which are mere puppies. The
puppies look only to be about 2 months old and we worry about their survival in
the large construction area that we found them in.

| This is where they live |
Besides the puppies, 1 of the adult dogs is also a cause of
concern. This particular adult dog is a brown, unsterilized male. His left eye
appears to be bulging from the socket. The eyeball can still move, though we
are not sure if he can still see with it. We will be taking him to the vet
tomorrow (Wednesday) to have his eye checked out and to get him sterilized. The
area in which he lives is full of heavy machinery and construction debris so it
is possible he may have found himself on the pointy end of one of these and
hurt his eye. We can't take in any more dogs as we don't have any available
foster spaces, but the least we can do is to sterilize him before returning him
to his "home" so as to control the stray population.

| Please help me get sterilized and have my eye checked |
The puppies are still too young to be sterilized so we will
leave them be for now and hope that they will quickly learn to navigate the
dangers of their home. Once they are old enough, we will also send them for
sterilization. For now, we will focus on the adult brown dog's medical needs
and sterilizing the other adult dogs.
