The dogs are all Chihuahuas and weigh between five and nine pounds, though one was 17 pounds and considered to be the mom.
Though the dogs were taken to a rescue, it being only exclusive to dogs means the 48 cats still need a home.The shelter named all the dogs after actors and actresses, and the 17-pounder was named Meryl Streep.
Streep, Garcia said, was estimated to be 12 years old and a hospice case, meaning she does not appear to have ever received medical care, has a severe heart murmur and has a large mass in her abdomen, about the size of a plum. Streep was part of a bonded pair with a cat named Robin Williams, and both dogs are together in a foster home.Many of the dogs found were covered in flees from the horrific living conditions.All the dogs will need to be spayed and neutered, and once adopted, will require microchips.Garcia explained that when her organization first heard about the situation, they did not flinch or show any type of nervousness.
Instead, they walked in and took care of business without pause because the dogs needed help, she said.In fact, Garcia estimates it will cost about $25,000 to get the dogs the care they need while also ensuring they have a roof over their heads and staff to care for them.Facebook/Border Tails RescueTo help pay for the care of the 43 new tenants, Border Tails Rescue is accepting donations on Facebook. The organization hopes to bring in $21,500.
Ultimately, Garcia said the goal is for each of the dogs – not just the 43 taken in this week but all the dogs at the shelter – to find forever homes.
