A message from their owners:

Some of you already know that we have been “fighting” to stay in our house over the last year. We are thankful that we have been given this much time to work out the details of our next step as we thought we were going to have to move many months ago. It has been an absolute rollercoaster. We never imagined being able to stay this long and the mortgage company has dragged this ride out for much longer than we expected. But now the time has definitely run out …and we definitely have to vacate the home. We have the house up for sale for the 2nd time to give it one last shot to avoid a foreclosure. We have been given 2 more months grace to sell it, or leave (third option is to pay the escalating payments & fees which are much, much more than we can afford with our new income). The “workout” plans that have been discussed over the months with our mortgage company have not worked out and we are all out of options. As we seek a suitable and affordable rental home, we absolutely MUST re-home some of our beloved pets. Those of you who know me well know that this is VERY difficult for me! And, you know I will never take them to the pound. But, we have been looking for many months for a home and we run up against a brick wall whenever people find out that we have 5 dogs. Also, as we try to sell this one potential buyers are very turned off to the house with the dogs here so this house is not showing well. With this email, I am seeking to find WONDERFUL forever homes for 2 of my dogs ASAP. I believe I have found a temporary foster home for the other 3. They are much older and have been with me much longer. The 2 on this email are younger and have much life and love left to give to a great home. We have contacted every animal rescue, no-kill shelter, etc. in the area but are told “no” simply because everyone is filled up past capacity already…mostly because people are losing their homes (many animals are abandoned when the owners move).

PLEASE look at the attached pictures and read below about Remington (Remmy) and Sassy. They are full of personality! They are absolutely GREAT DOGS! Even if you are unable to help personally or don’t know of anyone immediately, I am asking that this email be forwarded as far as it can go. So please – forward it to other people and ask them to please forward it too. Keep it going and going – please – until a great home is FOUND for these great doggies. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Thank you very much. Contact info is below. We will also assist with travel to anywhere if that is necessary!

It makes me so sad to see these 2 precious ones go – as you can see from the pics they are both full of personality. Please, please – if you can place them – make positively CERTAIN that they will be loved and well cared for – and not left outside all alone or in a dangerous place or anything like that.

Sassy – approx 5 years old / female / spayed / vacs up to date / mixed breed / funny, silly, loving, loves to run, chases butterflies / very smart – instinctive / rescued from side of the road / would make a great family dog – especially with other non-aggressive dogs. Always “happy” / loves to play and be outside – with option to be inside in bad weather, etc. Communicates to you with her very unique and funny coyote like “howl”!

Remington – approx 3 years old / male / neutered / vacs up to date / chocolate lab / very loving, gentle, loves to be around people, used to be timid about stairs and new things but is much more confident now / wants to please – always happy to see you / rescued from neglectful home / would make a wonderful family and house dog – especially after just a few basic obedience classes…he is still young and eager to be with you so keeping him in “sit” and “stay” is not quite there yet.
