Description:
Shep and his sister, Delilah, were picked up running loose and brought into the pound. Their owner was contacted, but decided not to come reclaim them because he "had too many." So they ended up homeless and in danger of being euthanized.

These two dogs are just about the sweetest things you would ever want to meet.  They soak up love and attention from anyone!  They both love to give kisses, and get hugs!  They can be timid when first meeting a stranger, but they tend to warm up quickly.  They are most fearful of young men (teens and twenties).  Even though they are large, they do very well with children.  Both of them walk nicely on a leash, and ride calmly in a vehicle.  They get along with every size dog - from the smallest to the largest!  And cats are no problem either!

Unfortunately, Shep and Delilah suffer from severe separation anxiety.  We are searching for a forever home that can take both of them.  Their new home would need a safe and secure place for them when they are alone, as they can be destructive if left free in the house.  Separate crates have not been successful (they break out) - so we are looking for possibly a garage kennel, or secure outdoor kennel or something similar.  However, please note:  they still need to live the majority of their time as INDOOR companions.  Sleeping nights in the home, and with their people when they are home.  They also need a fenced yard (physical) as they both are uncomfortable on a tie out, and won't "do their business."       

Would you like to help Shep and Delilah get a new chance at a wonderful life?  You will not be sorry, as these are two of the most wonderful dogs you will ever meet!  THIS IS WHAT RESCUING A DOG IS ALL ABOUT!!!  Helping these dogs transform will trully be a rewarding experience.
