For context, there are two stray dogs at our local city park that we can't outright adopt, apartment rules say no pets, but we've been doing our best within our means to care for them at the park in the meantime.

Only pets we're allowed to have are pets that can stay in a cage or aquarium or so, like hamsters or turtles or something like that.

These dogs need a good fenced in acre or more to run around and play in. They're mostly outdoor dogs. If I even could adopt them, I'd probably only bring them inside during extreme weather.

Mississippi Housing Authority for ya..

Is there no SPCA or other dog rescue in your area? Research them a bit and then notify one

Animal Control has already tried to catch them. No dice so far. Police know about the situation, and come to check on them occasionally and even give them treats.

In the meantime, we, along with other volunteers, manage to bring them something to eat and some water every day.

But guess what? Today I gave them both a brushy bath with hand sanitizer, and it worked great!
