The Animal Rescue League of Boston is looking for a special family to open up their hearts and home for a bonded pair of senior dogs after their owner recently died.Franklin, a 9-year-old Sharpei, and Frieda, a 6-year-old Sharpei, are no strangers to ARL. The pair came to ARL in 2018 as part of a transport of dogs from North Carolina. The dogs were able to find a new home quickly.”They had come as part of a transport of dogs to ARL from North Carolina and, sadly, in North Carolina their owner had passed away there,” said Mike DeFina of the ARL. Their owner recently died, and the dogs are now looking for a home together to spend their retirement years. Franklin and Frieda are bonded and need to be together, the ARL said. They are fun-loving and extremely friendly, but ARL understands that it takes a special home to take in not just one, but two senior dogs. “They do everything together and so to disrupt that especially at this stage of their lives would really be a disservice to them,” DeFina said. While healthy overall, the dogs have medical needs that will require attention upon adoption – Franklin is prone to ear infections, while Frieda’s allergies can cause dry skin and/or ear infections.Click here to find more information on Franklin and Frieda.
