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  Mar shall  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 8:00 AM and picks up at 4:00 PM. They  get socialization at  The Home De pot  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.
