Juma is the youngest member of the group, estimated to have been born around 2011. He was found wandering the streets as a stray. His owners were later found and he was confiscated.
He has had a traumatic past and sometimes shows some abnormal behavior as a result of his mistreatment. He is very settled now in his group here at Wild Ireland.We are working to rehabilitate Juma.
