“This project, born of my personal need to show these issues in detail, for two distinct first I’m always an admitted passionate about animals, and second, because I think that the importance given to this issue, has declined greatly.

So, Shelter is a project about life in a kennel, is a documentary about the conditions in which hundreds of dogs are, every day, in the hope that someone will seek to find a new home. Although it may seem that I am addressing the issue in a very dramatic, I think is not the case, because we have to remember that we are talking about abandoned animals that know in their hearts that were left behind by their owners, the same as the fed and created, in many cases for many years, these animals have a deficit of the same care and attention, even I could prove this during the time I spent there.”
