They are beautiful! Good on you and your family. Abandoned dogs will forever worship their saviors in my experience. They will provide endless love and protect your family till the day they die.
Warms my heart!

Second vet appointment yesterday. They have doubled in weight and are now intestinal parasite free.
What a wonderful looking pair of hounds. Breaks my heart that someone would just throw them away in that manner to die a long painful death.
I will email.
ETA: Thank You for saving that pair.

jhe888Sweet pups. I am glad you can keep them.

holdemI missed this thread before. I love the very first pic, the daughter holding the pups, and you can just make out the huge smile on the daughter's face. When I saw that I said to myself, "I'll read the whole thread, but I already know, they keep those puppies."
Sometimes it's the animals that adopt us, rather than the other way around. Good job listening to them and saving those lives.

P250UA5Cute pups.
My wife is on me to get us a 2nd dog.
Our Border is roughly 7 years old this year.
We've come close a couple times, nearly picked up twins in a similar manner as the OP, walked up to a nearby bar & my wife saw them on FB.
They were gone by the time we got down there.

Remember to keep an eye on your local animal shelter too.
You'd be amazed at what shows up there and you get to pick out one that just clicks with you.
I volunteer walking dogs sometimes at our local county shelter and there are some great ones needing homes.

Most definitely! My wife follows a lot of the local shelters on social media and says she needs to just unfollow them because she is always seeing one she would like to take, probably all of them.
Anything from your basic Heinz 57 to extensive purebreds.

That's how we got our Border.
She's super sweet & had been extended from euthanasia 3 times.
She was 7 deep on foster lists.
They offered to put me 'on the list'
I asked, what if we want to just take her home & keep her? That put us at #1 & we took her home after she'd been spayed.

drabfourLast round of boosters today. Both almost same weight now just under 20 pounds. Next up is to be spayed. Has anyone used a low cost spay/neuter clinic? Our SPCA does it just wondering pros and cons of going there instead of our usual vet.
Waiting for the vet to come in.
And a little walk in the park afterwards.

Scooter123I would rethink that neutering right now, many vets are now recommending that not be done until the dog is a full year old. The problem with doing them this young is their joints are not fully formed and early neutering can and does result in malformed joint. BTW neutering is illegal in most of Europe because it's a practice that just wreck's the endocrine system in either sex, what is done in Europe is either a vasectomy or tubal ligation.
I've stopped counting.

Dr. Karen Becker recommends not to neuter a dog for various reasons with a longer life being one of them.
