I've been told that the local stray pups might soon have a forever home...

I was going to ask if it was you that was adopting them. Then I saw it was you that fostered them.

So on behalf of all of Lemmy, thank you for helping these little guys in their time of need. Boy are they gonna be confused. Born to one family, left in a park, found by another family, and just as they get comfortable, ANOTHER family ends up with them! I hope they don't develop trust/abandonmrnt issues.

Maybe you could visit on weekends to help them understand that they weren't bad pups and abandoned......well, not abandoned twice anyways.

At this point, I think they're honorary park pets. Even after they're adopted by someone, it's like everyone in town knows of these pups, and they'll absolutely have to bring them back out to the park occasionally.

They can't help it, they need their play space!

Man.

Imagine having that many people loving you.

I wish I were a puppy!

I recently adopted a dog abandoned in a park. Wild that people just drop them off. Mine was in a dog park, at least, so I guess they assumed someone would care and just take him?

Our park isn't particularly a dog park, but dogs are definitely welcome. Our park is a water park with a splash pad and kids play area, a couple of pavilions, a few wide open fields, a fishing pier with two covered pavilions of its own to fish from, a walking track and a boat ramp.

Even our city mayor comes out to the park occasionally to host parties, and those parties can get huge!

So yeah, even when we're too busy to go out to feed them, other people have been helping with the good cause. Shit, even a couple of passing homeless people have brought them food too.

I knew it was just a matter of time before people talked around enough to try to find them a proper forever home. They haven't quite been adopted just yet, but from what I heard yesterday from a neighbor that lives near the park is they'll probably be adopted soon.
