There is a group of stray dogs in my neighborhood that I've been working on for nearly a year. Sheriff won't take them because the shelter says they are full, and won't accept them. So these dogs continue to starve, breed, and survive the elements. We actually have 3 groups of strays now--the two older dogs, their offspring in another part of the community, and now, someone moved away last week and left two small dogs behind. People have just got to start doing better.
These are the two oldest Heelers, possibly seniors. I finally met them last week, and contrary to neighborhood rumors, they are not feral and aggressive at all, but are sweet and docile. We made friends, and now I'm feeding them in hopes that I can get them into a better situation. I think Momma (red) may be pregnant again, so time is of the essence. I didn't see them this morning when I went to feed them, but as soon as they heard that kibble hit the metal bowls, here they both came from in the woods. We talk, I pet them, and they give me their appreciation. But they need homes.
These two could easily adapt to sleeping in the floor of someone's home. So I'm looking for someone to take them in, as adopters or even fosters, and I will sponsor them through the rescue. We will pay for vetting for the dogs. Please, if anyone has room in their hearts or homes, please consider them. They do not have to go together. But they have been stray for years, and they deserve a better life than this. Red is female, blue is male. Both docile, the male exceptionally so. He's just a sweet old boy who wants some lovin', and I feel like he would be the best dog ever and would reward you with his love for the rest of his days.
