Ruby Montana of Bridge Pups rescue holds Lupe. The poodle migrated with her family from Venezuela to the U.S. -Mexico border.
She started the tiny organization about ten years ago to help stray dogs along this stretch of border. Last summer, she also began getting calls about dogs like Lupe when more Venezuelan migrants began showing up at the border with their pets. Lupe’s family got the 8-year-old poodle as a puppy. When they fled Venezuela there was no doubt she would come along.
Jonathan Morales named the black pug puppy he cradled in a blanket outside the church Sacha. He says a Russian migrant gave him the puppy to care for when the man was taken into custody by Border Patrol. “It’s been really inspiring going through this process,” Michele Anderson, marketing and public engagement manager for Animal Services.
Lupe’s family was also processed and released from Border Patrol custody in El Paso after a few days to await immigration proceedings. But they were quickly put on a bus that they eventually found out was bound for New York City.
