Aspen (left) and Telluride (right) came to us terrified from animal control. We have no idea where they came from, but it was obvious they were not well cared for before arriving at Furkids and Small Dog Rescue. They both had heartworm disease and had to go through treatment before going up for adoption.

During those months we realized how dependent Aspen was on Telluride. Aspen would only go outside in the yard, play and interact with people when Telluride did. They acted like brothers, always happy to see each other. We even kept them in the same kennel space.  

So we began looking for a home for them together. We realized this was a huge challenge and was going to be hard to find, but we had to try! 

Amy volunteers at our thrift store on Saturdays. She travels many miles from Dallas, GA to our store in Norcross, GA to help our thrift store raise money. One day she was speaking to our cashier, Geri, and they began discussing dogs in the program available for adoption. Amy and her husband sat down that night to look at the dogs in need and came across Aspen and Telluride's story. Amy just knew she could help these 2 boys enjoy a long and happy life together. So she applied to adopt the pair and the rest is history! Amy took the boys home last week and so far they are doing great! They are enjoying their new backyard and the weather and warming up to Amy and her husband. 

Stories like this just warm our hearts. These boys had a slim chance at survival and health and with help from the community these boys are now happy and healthy!
