Lab strays

We have two stray Labs living in our garage. They are beautiful, sweet boys that someone just didn't want anymore. They came onto our property to visit our dogs and were obviously malnourished. No collars or ID of any sort. One has a bit of his ear missing and some old scars, probably from fighting over food. Since the two of them get along well, I'm assuming they've been together for a while. We have, with the help of a wonderful rescue TTRA, vetted them and found a Lab rescue in Maryland to take them and find them wonderful homes. Since one of the dogs is black, it would be nearly impossible to place him down here in the south. They call it "black dog syndrome". It's weird that people won't adopt black dogs. I don't get it but then one of our own dogs is a black lab. These two are lucky that they wandered onto our property. They ran around our neighborhood for a week and no one else tried to help them. We put out food, but it took a few days for us to gain their trust and catch them. If animal control had caught them, I have no doubt they would be dead by now. Luckily, they will get to be someone's new best friend up in Maryland. If you see dogs in need, please help them. Many rescues will help you if you will foster the dog until they can find it a home.
