4 weeks ago, I received a call from one of our rescue volunteers to help trap a Shepherd that had supposedly been running free in the desert. 3 volunteers had been out 3 or 4 days in a row, setting a humane trap, trying to get near him, with no success. The shepherd would not come close enough for them to catch him. They would eventually just leave the food for him every night. The next night, food would be gone, but the shepherd was still roaming the area, always staying close by. He was close to a a high school and was reported that some teenagers were throwing rocks at it.
So now I go out to see if I can help. After about 3 hours, he got close enough to me, to grab a blanket I was carrying and trotted off with it. The four of us followed. He was not alone. There was another male shepherd laying in a small little ditch behind some weeds. His right rear leg was broken, and right front paw was cut. He was very sweet and friendly. After we spotted him, 2 of the volunteers carried him to the car and I leashed the other and put him in a crate right beside his buddy.
They were the sweetest boys ever.
Well, the vet said that he had never witnessed such a bond between two male dogs. The healthy one would not leave the injured ones side, and would just howl if he was separated.
They have been in a foster home for 4 weeks now, and very devoted to each other.

The foster dad figured it might take a long time to get them adopted as they are so bonded, he wants them to stay together.
I just got the most wonderful news. They both got adopted today,

to a wonderful energetic retired couple that has had shepherds all of their lives, and just lost their 13 year old shepherd to cancer.
These 2 boys we estimate at 8 or 9 years old. Very layed back, loves every body and everything.
I am getting to go to the adopters this weekend for a visit. I am so excited. This just warms my heart, and couldn't be happier to know they found a forever home together.
I just wanted to share.
