24-060 Champ and 24-061 Chance were found as strays in Northern Arizona. The finder thought they might be a father/son pair, but our vet later judged them to be littermates about two years old. Neither boy was neutered. Both were friendly with the finders’ dogs (a German Shepherd and two Chihuahuas) and ignored the two cats. The finder reported: Both seem scared to go outside but do use the dog door to go potty and then come right back in. Both seem to love the doggie kiddie pool that is in the dog run. When he was found, 24-060 Champ had a scab near his right eye that is now a scar. AGR was first notified about this pair in early July. After a month, the finder thought she had located their owners, but the people could not answer some very pointed questions, so the finder did not let the dogs go and called us to finalize intake procedures. Our Placement Manager and her husband, who have a summer home up north, picked up the boys in Eager and drove them to their house. They were met there by our primary transporters who brought the dogs the rest of the way to one of our partner veterinary offices. The dogs were given the standard vaccinations and were tested for valley fever and heartworm, which were negative. They were placed with an adoptive couple in Dewey, so the dogs’ records were transferred to their local veterinarian where follow-ups and neutering of both boys were done. Champ is now known as Rocky and Chance as Kelce. A short time after they arrived in their new home, the adopter related: The boys went to their first outing and camp-out in the woods for the night with us on Saturday. They were awesome! We are so attached to them! We painted and redid the office so they have their own room with beds. The adopter takes them to school with her once a week and the students love them. As they do not like to walk on wood or tile floors, she has rugs for them and has taught them to hug the wall going down the hallway. Welcome home, Rocky and Kelce!
