UPDATE -
I have been going to visit these three with the main rescuer, and just want to say what wonderful dogs these three are! They are so starved for attention, but so well socialized and friendly with strangers. They are very tolerant of touching anywhere on their body - just three big lovebugs!
The bad news is, we just got their vet records and found out that these three are NOT current on their shots or vetting - in fact, they have not seen a vet for the last 3 YEARS! Remember, these dogs were kept outdoors, exposed to things like fleas, ticks, heartworm, intestinal worms, and even rabies!
Needless to say, we are just appalled, and are trying desperately to procure vet care for these three, so they can be brought up-to-date and adopted out to new homes. We have contacted several vets in the area and none are willing to offer us a discounted rate, so we are trying to raise funds for their shots and a basic heartworm test.
To help out, I'm donating any funds from sales of stationary in my Etsy shop:

I have SEVERAL new designs I'll be adding soon, so please check back over the weekend if you like what you see.
I want to say again that if anyone is considering these three, don't hesitate! They are beautiful and loving dogs that are in such need of a 2nd chance... I would take one of them myself, in a heartbeat, if finances allowed it.
