Two stray puppies just showed up on our doorstep. My mountain man housemate says we should just shoot em, but I like the little guys. I have next to no experience with dogs. What should we do?

Care for them for now and decide if you want to keep them or find them a home.
I can see Great Pyrenees, Golden Retriever, Beagle, & American Foxhound in their appearances.
Please keep us posted. Name the top one Mathis (Mat) and the bottom one Prudence (Pru)
Take them to the vet. Puppies are prone to dying of parvo and they need their rabies etc shots as well. And they gotta be dewormed.
THE PUPPIES HAVE BEEN SECURED, I REPEAT: THE PUPPIES HAVE BEEN SECURED
Is the shelter 5 min away from your or wtf?
nope, I just stopped at a convenience store, opened the thread, and pulled a U-turn
Is one a girl? Keep the girl especially it it’s the shorter haired one. These look like sheepdog mutts. Great pets but a male is best used only as a working dog (as mentioned also they piss on themselves sometimes).
If it's a sheepdog mutt, the males are amazing for guarding your house even against fucking bears. Females are better for everything else tho.
both are males! not sure what they are. I took them to the dogstore to buy some food, collars, treats, etc and the clerk there said that she thinks they're half-brothers; one an aussie mix and she wasn't sure what the other one is. we've got some acreage so hopefully they'll be good dogs to keep it secure and keep each other company 🙂
Step 1: Make a craigslist posting in community > pets
Step 2: Title it SHEEPDOG PUPPIES!
Step 3: Write "Two very sweet mutt boys, collie/pyrenees mix, looking for good families. $50 rehoming fee"
Step 4: Turn down anyone who isn't white and can't recite a bible verse
Step 5: Enjoy your $100.
This, OP, this is the way. Those puppies are adorable. But they will get big.
We’d love to see more pictures.
Also how come we never try to adopt on this board??? General area/state of OP?
Pup-date! Things are going well. They're playing more, and enjoying spending time with my big doggy. Lots of tail-wagging. I'm going to a mobile vet tomorrow to get them dewormed and get them their shots. I've got a busy weekend coming up, but I'll try to put up a Craigslist ad. Honestly, I would be a little apprehensive giving them to someone from Wauf, especially given the peculiarities of some on this board.
Don't give the puppies away for free as that would attract people who want to get them to sell them or people who wouldn't have got them otherwise without the draw of cute puppies free or cheap. Charge whoever you give the dogs to the price of the vaccines (remember to give them the vet name and record), dog food, dog leash, toys, that way they aren't getting a 'free puppy' or a 'cheap puppy' but it comes ready. I't s like selling fish with the aquarium.
Adorable. I'd consider helping care for them if I could. I've got a puppy on the way too (he's a herding/driving dog so it would've been a good match)
You might be able to find buyers across state lines too. Like in the northeast where these dogs are worth 2500-3000.
BTW, the one showing her belly is a girl. FYI
obviously
That's great. I hope they find a good home. You should probably shoot your housemate, though. I'd say put at least two bullets in the head, just to be sure -- wouldn't want him waking up later for round two, lol.
FUCK. I guess I'll go try to get them back.
Take care of them while you search for someone who wants a puppy. Ask around, you will likely find someone, as these puppies are cute and people won't have to go through the tedious process to adopt.
Too late. These puppies are now guarded by karen of the 50 prerequisites and will be put down because no one had 10 acres, a 7 foot fence, 15 non-familial references ready to pick up the phone....
ok, took the doggies to a shelter. goodbye lil guys :'(
i hope it wasn't a kill shelter
if a kill shelter is biased by its staff they will put down the good dogs first and the pitbulls last because "the misunderstood dogs need more of a chance"
what shelter kills puppies?
you should have given them away on craigslist instead... if you gave them to some retarded libtard karen, the dogs will spend their entire life in a cage cause they'll never find the perfect owner.
Go get them back. They're adorable
>My mountain man housemate
we get it, he's your bear
>Two stray puppies just showed up on our doorstep. My mountain man housemate says we should just shoot em
Tell your housemate he’s a subhuman, on the same level as the worst arabs and mongoloids
Don’t insult mongols by comparing them to hillbillies
If there’s a female keep that one. Females are smarter, can be trained better, aren’t going to maul your friends if you let them on the couch once, and are way more chill around the house. Send males to the pound. It’s not a pitbull so it’ll be adopted in less than a day.
Is there a shelter nearby?
show them your dick
