Chip is a handsome red boy, thin. Gale is a beautiful light blond, smaller and also very thin. They both seemed good-natured. 

Both dogs needed heartworm, tick fever and valley fever tests, as well as vaccinations for canine influenza, Bordetella and leptospirosis. About three weeks after placement with an adoptive couple in Prescott, Gale, who was renamed Lily, had to be treated for a urinary tract infection. Once that was cleared up, she and Chip, who was renamed Marshall, were both given the DHPP vaccinations. Neither dog had been sterilized, so we had Marshall neutered right away after placement; Lily was spayed about three weeks later. In a follow-up call at the beginning of October, the adopter commented: 

Lily is definitely the Alpha dog even though she is younger. She will walk up to Marshall and take the toy he has away from him. Marshall doesn't seem to mind. Both dogs have been going to the Prescott Valley Dog Squad. The adopter drops both dogs off at 8:00AM and picks up at 4:00 PM. They get socialization at The Home Depot and other stores, along with training in the afternoon. Both dogs come home happy and tired. While walking Marshall last week, I wanted to go one more block but Marshall did not. We got a little tangled up, and I fell and broke my femur. Marshall was so good and sat quietly with me until help came to drive me home. A fall due to leash tangles is not enough to ever want to give these pups back! The cat likes to be near both Lily and Marshall and there have been no problems. By winter the cat will probably be sleeping with Marshall to stay warm. All in all, we love these dogs, both get along great with each other. We are thankful that AGR chose us to be their new family.
