FAITH
AND HOPE
Faith
and Hope, we think, are a mother daughter team respectively. To
be crude, Faith is the fat one. She weighs 103 pounds, and that
is just unheard of for a female Dobie. Faith is also the one who
will grab you by your heartstrings first.
These
girls were confiscated from their former home because of neglect.
They had no shelter and no water. Imagine how that feels on a
hot day in a tropical climate or these days, in a cold winter's
night. Moreso, these two have had little interaction with people
on a day-to-day familial basis...what they got during their short
stay at Fort Doberdale, they soaked up and appreciated. Before
that, they were left outside without human interraction and desired
that desperately. These two are mama's babies. Or daddy's!
Hope will
try to find her way around an enclosure in the back yard, and
God willing, Faith will follow. That is probably why Faith currently
has a laceration on her beautiful face, but that is being taken
care of. Faith does everything in her power to follow Hope, who
just loves to investigate. But with some regular routine, they
both should settle down. I put Hope in a crate for a while and
overnight, and she did settle. Long times in the crate may make
her antsy and she might try to escape, but she's eager to be part
of the family and crate training is a part of that. Faith just
laid on the blanket that I put next to Hope's crate and she enjoyed
her night of warmth in a home. We want that to be an every night
event for these two lovlies. They need regularity and love. Lots
of both. Plus at least a 6-foot stockade fence enclosure without
any step-ups near that fencing.
They are
both heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, are up-to-date
on vaccines, and are spayed. Woohoo!
We are
working on getting pounds off Faith. They need to be placed in
a home without little children because they are very big. Just
click here to look here at the story of taking them to their
foster home and how big Hope is next to my big boy, Luigi!
If you
are special and can work with these lovely and special all natural
red gals (tails included - yay!)...then please fill
out our application and send it to us at...dobermannrescue@earthlink.net
Faith and
Hope are fostered in Lee county.
