Opie & Layla Could Use Some Help!

Geesh -- after not posting for a long time, I found that blogspot.com, where my Underdog Railroad blog resides, had to be associated with a G-mail account.  This caused me much consternation, but I believe I may have finally figured it all out!  So hooray for un-techno-savvy me!  Anyway, here I am.  During the lousy winter we had, I had few opportunities to transport rescue dogs.  And then when I could, someone else beat me to the transport.  Which is a good thing, of course.  It would be wonderful to always have too many drivers for the number of transports.  We need to aim for that!  Better yet -- aim for no more homeless dogs!

Layla and Opie are two great dogs that have been waiting patiently at Molly's Country Kennels for their furever homes.

Opie's Into Relaxing

Opie, a seven year old lab mix, lost his human to illness, and then lost one of his back legs to a non-invasive tumor.  But that doesn't keep him from wagging his stub of a tail, and he's known to be a big kisser.  He enjoys car rides and taking short walks.

Opie's favorite thing, though, is laying quietly next to his special someone who will scratch his belly.  He doesn't ask for much and would be a great companion for someone who is looking for a more mature dog that requires only moderate exercise.  Just think -- you could have a dog who requires little exercise!  That would give you the perfect excuse not to exercise too.  That just might be your dream come true.

Opie Accepts All Belly Rubs

Opie's dream come true would be living with someone who is also a more mature person, as he isn't into young children or cats much. Well, not at all, actually.  A home with zero to two stairs maximum would be best for him too.

Opie has been through a lot and will need a little time to transition into his new home, so Almost Home Dog Rescue will provide an in-home training session with their certified dog trainer to the right person who wants to adopt him.

Layla being Layla

Now -- who wants to adopt a famous dog?  One so famous that Eric Clapton named a song after her.  Layla doesn't need to be center stage, but she'd sure love to have a family and home she could call her own.  She's been at Molly's for about nine months now, but still enjoys life and has an upbeat attitude, and she just loves chasing tennis balls.

Layla is about four years old, and she has some Akita in her, which gives her a more exotic look.  She walks nicely on a leash.  I know because I walked her one time, and she was the easiest dog I've ever walked.  She knows some basic manners, such as sit and down, and she loves road trips!  She can be selective about her doggie friends (as we humans should be about picking our friends).  However, Layla does discriminate against cats.  I don't know why.  Cats rule.  But apparently, Layla isn't aware of that.

Perhaps you know someone who would be perfect for adopting one of these great dogs.  Put on that thinking cap.  Wouldn't it feel great to make a match?
