FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) -- A 17-year-old German shepherd that saved his owner and three other people from a trailer fire is scheduled to be put to sleep within days.
In June, Boomer was credited with barking and nipping his owner, Tascha Haskell, her mother and others while they slept as the fire burned.
But the fire forced Haskell to place Boomer and his 17-year-old brother, Precious, at the local Humane Society animal shelter. Haskell 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 Aug 1. The older dogs are not considered very adoptable because most people prefer puppies, said Humane Society Director Mike Morris. 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."
