An unoccupied kindergarten building has been transformed into a shelter for street dogs in Zumpango de Ocampo, on the outskirts of Mexico City.

在墨西哥城郊區松潘哥迪奧康柏市，一棟荒廢的幼兒園被改造成流浪犬的收容所。

The Doggies of Santa Lucia shelter run by the Mexican army was set up after a nearby new airport’s architects and workers noticed a large number of stray dogs wandering near the construction site.

墨西哥軍隊管理的聖塔露西亞狗狗收容所，是在附近一座新機場的建築師和工人注意到工地附近有為數眾多的流浪狗徘徊後才成立的。

"The shelter’s objective is to give the dogs a temporary home and to adapt them to live with humans and other dogs so they can be adopted by a family," said Second Lieutenant Carla Medellin, a veterinarian.

身為獸醫的少尉卡拉．梅德林說：「收容所的目標是給狗狗一個暫時的家，讓牠們適應與人類和其他狗狗生活，之後可以被家庭收養。」

不是所有來到收容所的狗狗都將被收養。專家和獸醫也將尋找可以在機場工作，幫忙篩檢COVID-19患者、甚至藥物的狗狗。（路透）
