You aren't looking for them, but I found your 2 dogs
Sigh. No one is looking for these guys. And I see why.
They hump everything in sight, try to dominate our old doggies, try to eat our cats and pee on everything and bark at everything. Neurotic, lick constantly. They know no commands, either in English or Spanish. They are aggressive and most likely lived in a puppy mill.
You dumped them, probably, and we picked them up before they were killed by traffic. Unneutered, no tags, two small males under a year old.
I hate you, person who dumped these dogs.
There are no lost ads on phone poles, no lost ad on Craig's list, no lost ad in the paper.
We put signs up all over, put a found notice in at the local pounds. If you were looking for these filthy little ragamuffins, you would have found them.
We are afraid to take them to the pound because under stress, your dogs were snappy and horribly afraid, and dogs are judged by temperament for adoption placement. They would not have passed that test.
However...
They are, under their filth, mats and horrible habits, adorable.
They have learned "Quiet," "Come," "Sit."
They have stopped being so neurotic and we have broken most of their bad habits in just a few days.
They are smart and sweet and are looking for guidance and WANT to be good little dogs.
One is a purebred little white and buff guy with an under bite, the other is a brown little dog that looks almost exactly like a miniature version of a larger breed dog. They know each other and were obviously (by the same bad habits) raised (poorly) together.
We will get them neutered, train them and get them into a good, loving home with people who use the brains God gave them.
If these are your dogs, come on by. Not so you can have them back. So I can kick your ass.

You're a good person for doing this...and that's a great post.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify - I didn't rescue the dogs. I'm just posting the story.
ReplyDeleteWe do, however, have four rescue cats in our household...
I see my neighbor's dogs ran away again. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping these boys find a forever home.
ReplyDeleteI hope whoever wrote this also put the notice in the paper and on flyers all around town. Poor dogs.
ReplyDeleteAny dog can be trained provided that the person doing the training is a couple of clicks smarter than the dog. Most dogs enjoy being trained as it provides them with the attention that the needy little devils crave. You've done a nice thing for these guys and they'll teach you a thing or two as well. Nothing like sharing loyalty with a dog. Sit! Stay!
