    Elmer and Elsie Being rescued

    This is a "Hope for Paws" video done by Eldad Haggar and Lisa Arturo, "Two Rescue Angels".

    Judy and I are fostering these wonderful young siblings, Elmer and Elsie, and they are clean, happy and becoming more confident by the day. They will come from anywhere in the house or yard when we call them and just love to sit in our laps when watching T.V.. The yard in which the siblings are running is my home and I am the fat guy that Elmer and Elsie are loving up to towards the end of the video.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyzb...ature=youtu.be

    The dogs on the couch include, Elmer and Elsie along with a couple of our resident dogs and some other fosters. Little Betty, who was between Elsie and Elmer on the couch was adopted today and Judy and I have decided to adopt, Sasha, the Jack Russel Terrier mix who was also on the couch...

    It's a great feeling having Elsie on my lap while I am watching the video of Eldad and Lisa getting Elsie from her hiding place...

    These two dogs will be adopted together as a bonded pair. They absolutely love each other as indicated by Elmer coming back for Elsie after she was captured. However, these two dogs love Judy and I also.

    As of 9:00 PM Pacific Daylight time, there were 74,213 hits... We have received several inquiries regarding adoption and more volunteering to foster other dogs.

    Elmer and Elsie have turned out to be two really nice dogs. They deserve and we will make sure they get a SPECIAL FUREVER HOME - TOGETHER!

    BTW Kris... I have a picture, somewhere, of me on the couch with nine dogs on and around me. They ranged from my 55-pound Goldendoodle to a 4-pound Chihuahua. There's always room for one more dog on my couch or in my life...

    We just got a call from a CNN Headline News producer. They want to follow Elmer and Elsie through to when they are adopted. They asked for additional video and stills in the interim! Our furkids are becoming famous...

    It was well on the way to 93,000 when I watched (approx. 25 hours later than your post).

    Elmer and Elsie are seriously lovable!

    Well done to all involved in their rescue, fostering and re-homing.

    I think that they want me to continue covering the furkids and let them know when the adoption is scheduled. We are viewing several applications and will take our time in selecting the very best furever home and family we can find.

    I don't know when it will be shot or aired. Everything is up in the air right now.

    At the moment, I have a mother dog with one puppy from a shelter in a Varikennel. She is very protective over her pup and snarls and bares her teeth when anyone comes near her. I am slowly making friends with her and have placed the kennel into a large puppy pen, taken the door off to let mom come out.

    She has taken a couple of treats from me. I am going slowly but, kind of pride myself that there are few dogs who I cannot get next to, given enough time...

    Our tv is mostly plastered all day on FoxNews but I'd be willing to watch the show on CNN so I can be proud to my household and ask them to watch the showing on that channel when the time comes...

    Now you and your wife and your organization will be famous...will you still talk to us here at CiC?

    Elmer and Elsie have been spoken for by a family from the state of Minnesota. They have a wonderful home with land surrounding it and the references from their veterinarian are glowing regarding the care they take of their dog. The have a Springer Spaniel and have recently lost a Maltese-Poodle mix to old age.

    The family has reservations for the flight from Minnesota to California. They will fly back with Elmer and Elsie in the cabin of the airplane.

    I will post images of the adoption which will occur mid-November...

    For members across the pond, the distance that the family will travel for these two dogs is approximately 3,200 kilometers (ONE WAY)

    Thanks for the update Richard.

    Good to know they have 'found' someone, although would I be correct in saying they haven't actually met hand-to-paw yet?

    I love happy endings, Richard...especially with these two...they had such a hard life. I am glad someone came to give them a chance at being loved. Thank you and your wife for your hard work...such a gem to have you in your rescues' lives.
