Take Me Home

Two of the dogs are young Beagles: a very small male that is around 8 months of age named “I am a Keeper” and a tiny female named “ME TOO” that is about 8 months of age. The male is a tri-color and the female is an unusual chocolate with white.
Both of these dogs have soft temperaments and should be very good with small children.
Neither dog is leash trained but they are food motivated and should be easy to train.
Call Carla Watt at the City office at 573-238-3517.

Hurry, these two small dogs only have until July 3 or they will be euthanized.
I have an update on their story:This morning Slim, from the City of Marble Hill, called to give me the full story on these two babies.
Turns out they are brother and sister, just that his teeth are more mature than hers and we thought he was older, being also larger...
Well, they are only 8 months of age and had belonged to a neighbor of theirs who was not caring for them. Slim tried to save them from entering the pound, but the little female is an escape artist and "walked" out of the high fencing he had, so to keep them safe he had to take them to the pound.
While in his care, these two pups were loved on constantly by his 6-year old child, who is heart sick that they had to be secured in the pound. Slim says these babies were "excellent" with his baby girl and he too has a very deep concern for their future.
Please help these babies find a permanent home.
Rescues must pay the pound fee. They can have their own vets do the vetting, but must prove they are licensed by the state of residency. The $100 fee we set for the city is a bargain by rescue standards too because the Bollinger County Stray Project looses money on the most of the pound dogs at that fee, because our typical costs are $110 to $125, depending on the size of the dog.
NOTE:I just want to inform everyone that the two young beagles both had tarter on their back teeth, even at this young age.
