If anybody in Florida wants to adopt a couple of dogs....
A hero dog that saved his owner and three other people from a fire will be put to sleep within days unless someone adopts him.
When a fire burst out in the Fort Pierce, Fla., trailer home of Tascha Haskell, her dog Boomer, a 17-year-old German shepherd, barked and nipped at the sleeping Haskell until she woke up. The loyal dog's actions saved Haskell, her mother and two others.
But now homeless, Haskell was forced to put Boomer and his 17-year-old brother, Precious, at the local Humane Society animal shelter. Haskell herself is currently staying with friends who could not take in the dogs, and her mother is staying at a motel that does not allow pets.
Boomer and Precious have been at the shelter since August 1 and it looks like they won't find new homes in time to avoid being put down in accordance with shelter rules. The older dogs are not considered very adoptable because most people prefer puppies, Humane Society Director Mike Morris said. He said he doesn't want to euthanize the dogs, but he doesn't have a choice.
Haskell said she is looking for a job and trying to save money to find a place to live, but it won't be in time to save the dogs.
"They're really good dogs," she said. "I don't want them to die."
