Following the death of model agent and animal rights activist Leandro Rud at age 51, efforts have been underway to find permanent homes for the dogs he was sheltering. 

While some animals, including Chop and Luna, have been successfully rehomed—with journalist Mariana Brey adopting two—several dogs still require urgent placement. These include Tony, a dog with a physical disability, and the pair Caco and Chicha. Organizations such as Zoonosis Escobar and the Dos Orejas shelter are coordinating the search for new families for the remaining animals.
