Still no return call from the animal control office concerning adopting these two lovely dogs if they go unclaimed. Left another message and will try again tomorrow earlier during the day.

Brenda from PC Pound Puppies advised me on the Facebook posting that I would need to go through them for adoptions. Filled out and submitted the adoption application for both dogs. If they remain unclaimed for 10 days, then they will be eligible for adoption (Christmas Eve).

I would think that the original owners would have claimed them by now but their status is still unclaimed..I sure hope the owners didn't just dump them.

They've acknowledged that they received my adoption application and I'll keep everyone posted of any status changes. The dogs will not be listed on their website as available for adoption until they complete their 10 day stray hold. Their website is PC Pound Puppies at Untitled document

So glad they acknowledged your adoption application and let us know if they approve your application!

I'm so excited!!!

Got a call this afternoon from the pet agency taking care of these two gorgious dogs and we had a very nice and long talk about the dogs, their current health conditions, temperament, and many other things and also reviewed my adoption application information. They had really liked the fact that we had adopted our Rhett at age 7 and gave him all the love and care that he needed until his recent passing this summer at age 14.

In short, we are planning to make a trip to Evansville sometime this next upcoming week before New Years and get a chance to meet the dogs. I told them if we were acceptable to them as the new prospective owners, I would like to move forward in the adoption process and I believe they were happy to hear that.

Keeping my hopes up!

I am so excited for you too and can't wait to hear the outcome. These dogs would be very lucky to have you for parents!! How old are they and what are their names?

No names as of yet...the male (darker dog) is thought to be about 7 or 8 and the female (lighter dog) a little younger at maybe 6. The female was microchipped but apparently the actual owner registration was never sent in.

Here's the pics of the two:

Yes, I couldn't understand why someone hadn't been looking for them or why they haven't already been claimed by this time.

The agency also thought that it's possible that they weren't very well taken care of by the previous owners. The male was covered in ticks and had to be shaved and is now being tested for lyme disease by the vet. I really get the indication that they were dumped off somewhere. So sad and it breaks my heart to think of that scenario. I would be more than happy to take them in.

I emailed the pet caretaker at the agency again yesterday and received a little more health update on the two Goldens.

The male, who they are now calling "Amos", got his vet checkup and all is good and he is now doing well after a small temporary setback of not eating and throwing up. He has now been playful and now acting happy. Amos is now thought to be in the 6-7 year old range. He had several patches of his hair shaved so the vet can look at the sores he had sores from the ticks. He also has a little wetness around his eyes, called entropian, which apparently is common in Goldens. He is also heartworm negative. He seems to be doing very well now.

The female, is still un-named but may possibly get the name of "Andie" is still at the kennel and is doing well also. She is scheduled for her vet checkup later this week and will know more about her health after her visit.

The caretaker has been very good at providing me with info on these two lovely companions....and even though I haven't been "officially selected" as the adopting family as of yet, I am planning the 2 1/2 hr drive for a visit possibly at the end of the week depending on our upcoming predicted weather conditions. We'll know more about their possible availability release date after both dogs have finished their vet visits. I'll keep everyone posted on any new events with "Amos" and "Andie"...also, I like the both names.

The pet caretaker sent me a couple of pics of the boy "Amos" that was taken on Christmas Eve hanging out at their office with the staff. I will be getting a health update on the girl "Andie" as I believe she has her appointment with the vet today. It's so hard not to be too overly excited about seeing both of them at the end of this week.
