What a story this is: these two pups were dropped off about a year ago at a construction site along the Westpark Toll Road. The men working at the site took the puppies in and did the best they could with them. They fed them and gave them attention, and the dogs lived under the construction trailers. I drive the Westpark 2 to 3 times a day from my home in Grand Lakes and everyday I would look to make sure they were doing ok and I found so much joy in watching them.

But, about a month ago, the site was dismantled, and the puppies were left there, now lying in the middle of a dirt field. One day on my way to work I saw them siitting right on the curb side by side, shoulders almost touching. They were looking for all the men who used to feed them, play with them, and take care of them. However, the men were not coming back totake the two puppies home with them.

I started by coming to the area at 7 AM and feeding them. They were so happy to see me the first time. I decided that maybe, just maybe a loving home could be found for them. I knew I could not do it by myself.

The gold puppy is now Maggie (talkative and outgoing) and the black & gold is Annie (serene and watchful). They are around 40 pounds and about a year old. Maggie and Annie are a little timid but so happy when someone gives them attention. Their tails wag and they look up expectantly when someone enters the room. They are sweet puppies. In just one week's time they have learned how to walk on a leash. Maggie and Annie have never had an accident in their small dog run at the vet office. They have never growled, snapped or barred their teeth at anyone. They are very docile and loving.

Luck and good fortune are on their side. They both tested negative for heartworm and as of May 4 are spayed and up to date on all shots plus micro chipped. They are waiting for someone to find a place in their heart (and home) for them. They are ready to begin another journey in their lives.
