I live in on a dead-end road in a rural unincorporated area outside of Ferris, TX. When stray dogs or neighbor's dogs move through, they do just that move through. However, i n March of 2023 these two dogs showed up and hung around for more than a couple weeks. Unfortunately, this property has no fence or gates and I have not been able to keep them safe or can control where they go. I have been in fear they would get shot, poisoned or run over since I live off a state highway.
Both are chipped. They had a female owner who says she gave them to someone and does not want them back but would not say who she gave them to. When they showed up on our dead-end road, it was clear they were dumped. Dumped dogs stay in the area they were dumped and is why they hung around here. They do seem to respond to females since their first human was a female.
The folks at the place I called about the chip gave me this information.
-both dogs were adopted at 6 months old and have been together since they were 6 months old.
-Both were rescues, one from Ft Worth and the other was from Dallas
-Female mastiff mix 03-07-2022
-male great dane mix 03-24-2022
-Both were spay/neutered at the shelters before they were adopted
-they were inside dogs, so the chip owner said, so they are house trained.
-They get along with other dogs, people and children. My granddaughter is 5 yr old and they bring their dog and there have not been any issues
-the female will hold back if she's not familiar with you and will bark. She lets the male, who knows no strangers, approach new situation. Once she sees the coast is clear she'll be right up in the middle of needing attention.
-the male is so laid back, let's the female do her thing weather eating or getting attention and is very patient!
-Both are pure LOVE muffins
-Both are very loyal, stays around
-They both understand basic commands like sit, down and understands some hand gestures, I put my hand up for stop and the both sit at attention great!
Kitty is part of a bonded pair with Odie and they have been together since six months of age so would really like them to find a home together.
