Long story short.
After living in Arizona for 8 years, I was laid off from my job. As my visa is tied to my job, we are returning to the UK for good on July 29th. We have two dogs that we can't take with us. One is a 9 year old heeler/australian shepherd bitch and the other is a 4 year old chocolate labrador male. They are both house-trained, affectionate and well-behaved. Unlike a lot of dogs around this town, they aren't dogs who are kept outside 24/7.
I have had no success in finding a home for them. They do not get on with other dogs. They do get on with kids and cats. My only alternative, at this moment, is to take them to the local pound, which is tantamount to a death sentence because there are so many animals in need of homes. I phoned the Valley Humane Society and they can't take them because they have a long waiting list.
If any one can suggest a no-kill shelter somewhere between Phoenix and Tucson, I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
