URGENT FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED! (Pics below and Videos in the comments!)

I am helping look for a foster or adoptive home for Kai and Sandy! 2 street dogs in Turks and Caicos, saved from euthanasia by my friend Lesley while on vacation there, and now in a boarding facility after receiving vet care, awaiting flights to Toronto for their second chance! PLEASE consider whether you could even temporarily bring these lovely pups into your home 🙏.

Lesley befriended these guys, fed them, and tried to get them some help… only to find out the department of agriculture is planning to euthanize them. They do this to free roaming dogs there, they find and “destroy” them in their words. Obviously this was tragic to hear and she couldn’t leave them to that fate.

Here is their description:

(I think it would be preferable for them to stay together, but having them in separate homes would probably be an option as well).

“Kai is the dark brown one, about 8 months old. He is very calm and relaxed and craves affection. He is easy to manipulate and loves head massages and belly rubs. He doesn’t like the water. We never saw him swim when he was living by the ocean. But he loves the comforts of a home. Once he met my friends and I on vacation he never left us. He sat outside in the bushes looking in at us when we were playing games. He sat at the door looking in when he wanted to be closer.
He is very bonded with Sandy his best friend in survival. All necessary vaccines neutering will be done prior to entry to Canada, which is aimed to be mid November.”

“Sandy is the beige one, named after the Caribbean beach he lived on, is the colour of sand, and gets Sandy when he swims in the ocean. Sandy was rescued today along with Kai, his only friend in the world.

The two boys were very skinny when we met them and scavenging tiny morsels from the beach.

Sandy is watchful and shy. He’s very gentle and he wants to bond, and he wants to trust so much. It would not take him long to be your best friend. He requires someone gentle with a gentle voice and gentle hand. He’s been accustomed to being abused and quick movements make him skittish. But he has it in him to love and he most certainly wants it. Sandy is a dog for someone who wants to transform an animal from shy to fully trusting you. That kind of bond that can only be earned with patience and generosity.
When we captured him he hid in a corner so terrified. Not once did he make any efforts to bite us. Sandy is around 1 year to 1.5 years old”

The story: We took in 8 very young rats (5 girls 3 boys) found living under a bridge in Meaford ON. We hoped they were young enough not to be pregnant, but unfortunately all 5 of these babies themselves, gave birth to a total of 52 Babies! 😱
What we need: HELP! We supply everything (cage, 24/7 support, medical care etc…), we just need homes and hands who can help raise these little cuties until we can find them all homes 🥰.
Criteria: NON-smoking/vaping, responsible, reliable to check in with us, provide pics/videos to update our website, able to drive to us OR within 30 mins from one of our locations (Parry Sound, Hamilton/Burlington).
