Vet/Medical Info: Born 6/19/2002, litter brothers. Rabies shots 6/22/2009, good for 3 years. All other vaccinations are overdue. Vet noted limited vision on both dogs in 2009, owner said he could not afford to get any further eye exams done. No heartworm test ever given.
Owner Info: Dodger and Buster have been rescued from an abusive home, the lady that took them in just wanted to get them out of the situation they were in. They have been signed over to her. They were locked in a kennel with no food, water or bedding. Their old owner didn't live on the property where the dogs were, he lives in another town. The neighbors of the property where the dogs were at complained to the dog catcher that they barked all the time so their old owner went out and bought shock collars for the dogs and gave the recievers to the neighbors for them to shock the dogs when they barked. She reported the owner to the Human Society and State Police but it took some time for them to take any action. Her and her husband had been taking Dodger and Buster down food, water and hay. She is a behaviorist for dogs and also does boarding so had the room for them however she is expecting some other dogs to come into her care and needs to find somewhere safe for these two boys to go. They appear to be completely blind, she feels it may be from poor nutrition, neglect and abuse. She was told they were current with vaccinations.
