Having exhausted all of the usual channels, we -- I need to reach out to everyone on behalf of Rhett, Ruby & Rose.
They were rescued late last year. They had been living on some property owned by a pipeline company. The employees took up a collection from time to time to buy them dog food and the night watchman befriended them and tried to teach them the basics - sit, down, stay (they know sit anyway). But about the time the weather turned really cold and snowy (was it November? December?) a neighbor got annoyed with them and started shooting at them. We rescued them and managed to place them with Paws In The City. PITC has been boarding them since -which is very, very, very expensive. They're having trouble finding foster homes and every group I know is saying adoptions are slow - PITC can't afford to keep boarding them and their other options are slim. Ok, their options are none!
Do you know ANYONE who could foster one, two, or three of them? I've tried all the groups, my friends and contacts, and anyone I think might help to no avail. They are on our website (http://www.companionsforife.org/) and in our newsletter and on My Space. All they need is to learn the basics - how to walk on a leash, crate training, what toys are, etc. They love people and they love other dogs. The male is a little shy, but considering the amount of buckshot in his backside I think I can understand that! They're eager to learn, and once they do, they can be adopted out through PITC. They are SO close to being ready for permanent homes - so very, very close!! Also, they do have heartworms but I have a private donor willing to pay 100% of their heartworm treatment. Can you imagine never having had a real home? Please forward this to anyone you know who might be able to help. For more info, email info@companionsforlife.org.
