Return of 'Franciscanitos' to Shelter Imminent

The return of the dogs to the 'Franciscan' shelter is getting closer. Once the expert reports are delivered, an agreement with the Mexico City government will be formalized, confirming that the shelter meets all necessary requirements. This was announced by the shelter's lawyer, Fernando Pérez Correa. He stated that within a maximum of two weeks, everything will be agreed upon and finalized. With these advances, Pérez Correa announced that the return of the dogs to the shelter is imminent. 'In two weeks, the 'Franciscanitos' will start to return,' he announced. This return marks an important moment for the shelter, which has received public support to rehabilitate its facilities and ensure the animals' well-being. Additionally, a joint working table will be set up between the shelter and the Government of Mexico City to update and strengthen the adoption process. The 'Franciscan Shelter' has a protocol with over 85 years of experience, which will be complemented with new measures in coordination with the authorities. 'We are going to collaborate… yes, we will be giving puppies for adoption, but only after they return to the shelter,' Fernando Pérez Correa said. The new scheme seeks to guarantee direct and responsible contact between adopters and animals, prioritizing the dogs' well-being. Adoptions will begin after the dogs return to the shelter. The dogs known as 'Franciscanitos' are about to return to the 'Franciscan Shelter' after the last expert reports and procedures agreed upon with authorities from the Government of Mexico City and representatives of the Haghenbeck Foundation are completed. This was reported by the shelter's lawyer, Fernando Pérez Correa, who detailed that the process is in its final phase after a key meeting with capital authorities. 'We are in the final part of the inspection of how the shelter turned out… society selflessly came together to fix the problem,' Fernando Pérez Correa stated. According to the lawyer, only two technical reports are left to conclude the process: an expert report on water and drainage, and a photographic expert report. These documents will be delivered this same week. First, the dogs must return to the shelter and readjust to their environment. Subsequently, the updated protocol will be implemented. In a similar two-week period, the guidelines of the new adoption model will also be made public.
