Brujo, Bruja, Lucario, Eevee, Scorpio & Gemini

Note on two cages:

Brujo - Unaltered Male - Rottie - Suspected to be the father of Bruja's pups. Over protective so kept in separate cage. Handle with extreme care, Muzzle when out of cage.

Bruja - Unaltered Female - Siberian Husky - Protective of pups if you get near them but friendly when pups aren't in the equation.

Lucario - Unaltered 3 month old Male - Husky Rottie - Dominant pup of the litter will nip but not bite.

Eevee - unaltered 3 month old Female - Suspected to be blind and deaf as doesn't respond to anything and bites out of fear. Has been seen walking into a wall or other sibling.

Scorpio - Unaltered 3 month old Male - Is confirmed deaf but is happy go lucky but mischeivious.

Gemini - Unaltered 3 month old Female - is shy and quiet of the bunch..

Brujo constantly paced his cage. Anxiety over not being able to see his mate or pups. Growling at the two leggers when ever they came by. They were strays after all.

Bruja slept with her pups.

Martha Johnson

The farm had been relatively quiet, with only one predation event in the past few years, but sightings were beginning to increase again. The wolves and feral hybrids of the Valley were coming back, and Martha wanted to be preemptive about the rise in predators. That decision had led her here, where the woman strolled slowly down the row of kennels to inspect the canines within.

'Too small. Not hardy enough. No...' Canine after canine, she dismissed in her mind for one reason or another, until she came to a kennel with a Rottweiler. She knew them a great, loyal protectors, and had had one on the farm before her collies. Seeing the husky and her pups in the next cage, Martha crouched down before the two stalls and clicked her tongue at the separated family, trying to gauge their reactions to her.

Brujo was much calmer away from his family. It would be different in a more open setting but having been so cramped up he had felt over protective. He watched the lady warily. He slowly approached the front of the cage.

Bruja stood up from her sleeping pups and moved to the front tail wagging.

Martha Johnson

"This isn't where you belong, is it?" She murmured to Brujo, having read his sheet and now watching as he regarded her warily. She didn't bother trying to stick fingers through the chainlink fence, at least not with him. Instead she looked to Bruja and clicked her tongue again, "Hello there sweety. Are you a friendly one?" The wagging tail suggested so, and so Martha tried to reach her fingers through to give Bruja a scratch on the head.

After a moment the woman made up her mind and stood, waiting for a shelter employee to come out. She would take the whole family home, though she might adopt out a few of the pups to friends, depending on how they took to farm life.

Brujo neverr let his eyes off of her.

Bruja sniffed her fingers and licked them.

A shelter employee came over. yuo interested in just the male or all of them?She asks.

Martha Johnson

Martha wiggled her fingers, trying to scratch beneath Bruja's chin. She straightened back up when the shelter employee appeared, brandishing a smile as she looked back over the separated family. "All of them. I've got a ranch a few miles out of town, and I'm looking to get a few more eyes and ears out there to keep the livestock safe."

The lady smiled and nodded.I am asked to tell you to atleast till the male fully trusts you you should keep him some how either a way from the female and pups due to him being over protectiveShe said. he had been teh one bit by him so she knew. Do you have crates?She sasked as she got their leashs.

Martha Johnson

She looked back to Brujo when the attendant brought up his protective nature, but it didn't dissuade her decision. Answering confidently, Martha turned back to the lady, "Between the house and our barn, keeping them separate for a time shouldn't be a problem. I've had some experience with rotties too." As for the crates, just like her son, Martha had come prepared. "I've got a few out in my truck, I just have to put them together and we should be good to go."

Brujo watched everything going on outside this kennel.

Bruja returned to her pups.

The lady nodded.while you do that ill get the paper work started She said.

Martha Johnson

Martha knelt down one more time, speaking softly to the assorted dogs before rising and walking down the length of kennels, and out to her vehicle.

A few minutes later she returned, having assembled four of the big plastic kennels, snapping the top and bottom halves together while ensuring the gates were properly pinned in place. She brought one two of these crates with her, figuring it would be easiest to load the puppies into them, then walk the adults one at a time to their kennels in the truck.

Setting these two crates down, she waited for the assistant to return.
