Rover Alert!

These two dogs were found by the side of a road in Washington County on Saturday. Please read their descriptions and contact Camp if you can help return them to their home or if you could consider taking them into your own home.

From the woman who found them: "They are amazingly sweet-tempered and well-behaved. They were clearly someone's loved pets, but they were most definitely abandoned. They had no collar, tags, or microchips, and the female's fur was so heavily matted I had to cut as much off as possible to free her tail and make her more comfortable. Still, they have allowed us to bathe them, blow-dry and handle them extensively. The vet saw them on an emergency basis on Saturday night and said they hadn't been on their own too long and were extremely well behaved.

The male is unneutered, about 2 years old, and is cream with tan spots all over. We are calling him Chance because his disposition is so similar to that doggie in "Homeward Bound."

The female is undetermined if spayed or not. The vet checked and said either she hasn't been spayed or she has but the scar has healed over well. She is approx. 8 years old and has a little doggie arthritis but is otherwise healthy. We call her Shadow because she is similar in temperment to the doggie in "Homeward Bound" that was sweet and wise.

They both follow basic commands and, once left in the garage, will go to sleep and not howl or bark. They do, of course, get barky and excited when they see us and go outside for their walk, but they stay on the lead and do not indicate any aggression to people or dogs. In fact, people who have encountered them have commented on their disposition.

If you know of anyone with land, time and love that can take them in as a pair, we'd be so thrilled for them. We have 4 elderly cats and can not introduce these sized dogs into the house, but they appear to be indoor/outdoor dogs."
