In the shelter’s words

Sonny and Cher were found running the streets in South LA, weaving in and out of traffic and circling the blocks scavenging and desperate for food. He had on a collar so our director watched them for a good 30-40 minutes, hoping they would run home... They suddenly ended up on the steps to the 77th Police Station where they found some old pizza in a planter. They then proceeded to patrol access and people were too afraid to approach the entrance to the Police station with them guarding the steps, and no one came out or stopped to help, so with only 2 cans of cat food and 1/2 a sandwich from lunch our director decided to see if they would be friends or foes. Immediately Cher ran up and said hello -- it took about 20 minutes but she was able to get her to jump in the car... Sonny was a whole other story ... it took about 2 hours to catch him, but eventually, the car-trap worked and the duo, as if finally sensing they were safe, curled up into each other for a long rest. Neither dog was chipped, Cher was in heat, and Sonny was her devoted bodyguard ... we don't know if/when/how they came together -- but once they were both fixed the bond was broken. She is SUCH a gentle girl -- easy on a leash and potty trained. She does fixate a bit on cats and squirrels but she hasn't gone after any ... not while on a leash anyway. We have been looking for their people but no one has come forward and it's time they found homes and someone of their own who can really love and care for them. Whoever you are -- you're about to have a very BEST FREIND(s) for life! Please Apply HERE: https://forms.gle/67CmuBhiQMf1hYov9
