WA2S spent time with Kelle Davis, Yvette Holzbach and Holly Kelch, volunteers with Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward in Houston, TX and filmed what is all in a day's work for them.
Our first stop was an outreach follow up visit to a Mexican family whose dogs had recently been found running in the streets of their neighborhood. Kelle had offered to assist them in caring for the dogs and getting them spayed and neutered, but the family did not respond. Kelle spoke with the matriarch of the family in Spanish, to try to determine the whereabouts of a white Pyrenees that had been seen with her dogs, and to urge her to bring her dogs in to their house as the city was sweeping neighborhoods and her family's pets would be picked up if they were in the streets. A few streets over we came across a puppy running loose in the street. We pulled over so that Kelle could leave some food for it. Though skittish, the puppy was interested in the food and succumbed to temptation. Kelle was able to secure the puppy, which was a sweet girl. She joined us in the car for her freedom ride!
