It's time to start looking for new homes for Rufus and Melly. They are two German Shepherd Dogs, both about seven years old. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, and are heartworm negative. They were owned by the same person, an elderly woman who recently moved into an assisted living care facility. Both dogs were well-loved and cared for and it shows.
Unfortunately both became quite overweight in the last few years when their owner slowed down but the dogs' food intake did not. They have been on a diet since coming here and it is really beginning to show results. In spite of being overweight, both dogs are quite active and love to get out to the pasture to run and play. Melly likes to play fetch.
Rufus and Melly have been housetrained for years and have not used a crate since they came here. Their indoor manners are excellent. Melly is happy to meet any new people and will greet them with a kiss and a wag of her tail. Rufus is more stand-offish, but he's easily won over. He has a shepherd's protective instinct to bark at strangers but he's all talk.
Melly and Rufus lived together for several years but they do not have to be adopted together. They are both good dogs and will be wonderful companions in their senior years. They are as active as you want to be, but are also quite content to lay around with you at home. They had a big adjustment when they first came here as fosters, but both have adapted and fit in very well with our pack. Neither has had an trouble with any of the other dogs around here.
Both dogs are available for adoption through Green Dogs Unleashed. You can contact the foster home at vadogrescue@gmail.com if you have any questions.
