Luckily, the associationRedland Rock Pit Abandoned Dog Projectare there to care for these strays, regularly bringing them food. Volunteers feed around 100 dogs each day, reportsThe Dodo. Jessie Pena, vice-president of the organisation, explained:

The puppies and small dogs and pretty dogs — all the adoptables — they go quick. Rescues take them. But the large dogs are almost impossible to move. What we do is feed them. If we find a rescue, we'll go to that area and pick them up.

She settledherself and her babies in a dark, hidden corner where the volunteers only found her thanks to her babies' cries. They approached the broken-down house under which the family was lying, and discovered a grand total of 14 puppies for which the mom dog would haveto care.
