These two pups need our help! Their Mom is not well and has had to make the difficult decision to find them a new home. They are bonded and play well together so they are looking for a home where they can stay together! Ginger is a year and a half old, very smart, loving, playful and beautiful! Rigby is six and is just as sweet as can be and of course adorable! Rhode Home Rescue will be helping to place them and is looking for a Foster or a Forever home! They are currently in a boarding facility so time is of the essence! Please contact them via email for more information: [email protected] We ask that you please spread the word about these pups too, they need all of our help!
