Elderly Pets Homeless When Senior Goes Into Nursing Home

The photo of two boxers, huddled together on a bed, desperately trying to find comfort in one another, is heartbreaking in and of itself - knowing the reason that the senior dogs are at this animal control facility makes the situation all the more sad.

The dogs, Chilee and Molee, were surrendered to the Albuquerque, N.M., Animal Welfare Department facility by their elderly owner who was moving to a nursing home.

Undoubtedly, this was a devastating and difficult for the dogs' guardian. Equally devastating is the sadness and confusion that these beautiful dogs are left with.

Chilee and Molee do not realize why they were left at an unfamiliar kennel - they have no idea if their person is coming back.

All these dogs have right now are each other.

Please take a moment to network Chilee and Molee's information with the hope that it reaches a person who wants to adopt them, or a rescue agency who is able to take them in.
