GREAT NEWS! Hunter the brindle colored male has been adopted tonight! He has been given to a very loving family that will give him many many years of companionship. I don't think I've ever met a couple of folks that were so happy to have a puppy. They had to euthanize a 10 yr old boxer of theirs 2 weeks ago so Hunter is up to the task of filling that void for them. Blue is still looking for family! We think some people may be put off by Blue because of her "cherry eye" affliction and thus, they may not want to pay for the surgery. Cross your fingers for her and stay tuned!

--------------------

We are happy to announce that "Hunter" the terribly withdrawn puppy, is starting to come out of his shell! See post #20 to see further detail AND A VIDEO LINK TO WITNESS SOME PUPPY PLAYTIME!

Hello everyone,

Reposting this from the donations page:

Today, 2 puppies were found abandoned nearby my father in law's house.

They were dropped off it seems. They seem well fed but they are dirty, and worse than that, they are scared of people. It isn't natural for puppies to be scared of humans to the point they shake and cower in any hiding spot they can find. They're not shy, they're frightened.

We don't know the cause of that fear. We have our concerns that abuse may have happened but there's no way to tell.

My father in law is unable to care for them, so we've taken them off of his hands for the time being. The other issue is, we too, are unable to take care of them as we just added a new great dane puppy to our own home 6 months ago. Because of this, we cannot keep these puppies.

We can't look at these puppies and say, they aren't our problem because they are our problem. Fate landed them in our hands, and we aren't the type to "drop the ball" on any living thing that needs a fighting chance.

So, we still have a bunch of leftover puppy food from our great dane's growing days. Food is taken care of. But because we didn't plan on this event in our lives, the expense of taking these puppies to get a vet check up is not accounted for in our budget.

This is why we've come here to ask you for help. We will post photos of the veterinary receipts to account for the money being donated here. In the end, this money isn't for us, it's just for the puppies.

We will post more photos of the puppies as they become available.

Thanks for reading and thank you to anyone that donates to these puppies.

Anything helps, seriously.

To those who aren't familiar with YouCaring as a charity site, feel free to donate directly to my PayPal here: paypal.me/retrowire

The paypal.me link has my website as it's title and I can't change that but fear not, it's still me!

Sorry I don't use YouTube but I have for you all today a video of the two puppies in their temporary dwelling. Now you get to see how these two puppies are doing after a bath and food and love! ...You also get to hear my "puppy talk" voice lol

3. Poor sweet babies

Open your wallets, folks.

[retrowire]

4. UPDATE: We've paid for the veterinary visit

Alright everyone, I have scanned the receipt for their treatment and uploaded that photo to the Youcaring website. This is to show proof that we are indeed taking care of these babies as best we can. It's also to show the cost that we have incurred.

We've also decided after learning more from the vet that we'll be fostering them for at least a month or two until they are up to par for adoption. This unfortunately raises our goal of necessary funds. But again, any help is great and certainly appreciated.

Just click the link at the top of the post to see the latest updates on the puppies, as well as to see that receipt I was talking about.

Thank you everyone.

5. Thank you for the update and for all you're doing for the puppies...

They were so very fortunate to have found you...

[retrowire]

6. No problem!

Thank you for your love and donation! "Blue and Hunter" will appreciate it greatly.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Awwww!

You're more than welcome and please let us know how they're doing and if/when you need help. And thank you for letting me know their names...

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Morning kick for the puppies!

[retrowire]

9. Thank you!!!

Just as an update for the DUers that haven't clicked the link, we've raised 108 of our 500 dollar goal. Thanks to all that have donated and shared so far!

10. Bless you for helping these scared little pups. I kicked in a few $$

to help. That black/white baby will need surgery for cherry eye, too. Maybe they can take care of it when they spay/neuter.

Kicking this for the evening crowd.

11. Bumping to get additional exposure

I did donate - and if I weren't allergic to dogs, those two would have had a furever home with hubby and me.

Keep hugging and push skin to skin contact. Show them love and they will reward you furever...

12. Just donated

It makes this wretched day a bit happier

13. Another kick!

Thank-you!

[retrowire]

14. Bumping because of the video update! Nt

[retrowire]

15. second bump for video! nt

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Kicking for the video! Awwwwww!

And it looks like the one pup - Is it Blue or Hunter? - is coming around! Great news!

[retrowire]

17. blue is the white and black one

because the "cherry eye" is a blue iris, while the other eye is a different color.

Hunter, as you could see was still withdrawn, poor thing.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Thanks!

They sure are adorable, but my heart breaks for little Hunter, still so scared. I hope that they can remain together. They obviously have a real relationship...

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Sunday kick for the puppies!

[retrowire]

20. Thanks for the kick! GUESS WHAT GOOD NEWS!

We are happy to announce that we are now finally seeing "Hunter" the brown male puppy, coming out of his shell!

Today, we witnessed AND OBTAINED ON VIDEO, Hunter is not only being sociable, but he is PLAYING! He still has a bit of resistance to human interaction, but he's not cowering into corners as much anymore!

Without further ado, I share this video with you! Again, sorry for my "puppy talk" voice.

21. That is wonderful news! Thanks so much!

He is obviously following his brother and you are doing a great job with them. They are so lucky to have each other - and you! What adorable puppies!

23. Did you find out how much the cherry eye surgery costs?

I had a friend whose boston terrier got a cherry eye. They were able to correct it with some steroid eye drops.

[retrowire]

24. We don't know the price of the surgery but my wife can ask tomorrow

When she brings our great dane to the vet to be spayed. We tried the steroid drops but it seems to have done nothing.
