Meet Acee and Reesee

REESEE and ACEE must be adopted together! Their owner recently passed away and they are being surrendered together....here is the original plea we received for help....
Hello, My name is Heather, and I'm trying to help a dying man place his two beloved dogs. The man's name is Mr. Fuller. He really doesn't have long, maybe a week or two at most, though he believes it's more like a couple of days. He has cancer, and he says the only thing that keeps him hanging on is that he wants to find a place for his two dogs. He loves those dogs sooo much.My heart just breaks for him, and just thinking of those dogs going to a shelter when they've been so loved is just awful. I can't let that happen to them. If you can help or know of someone who can, please contact me immediately. I'm in Pennsylvania, but Mr. Fuller is in Atlanta. After talking to you, I'll give you his contact information. I also have contact information for a friend of his in case something has happened to him. Here is a bit about the dogs. I've also attached pictures of them.Reesee is a 3 1/2 female. Mr. Fuller got her from a shelter when she was very young. She is a mother-type and feels the need to take care of kittens and puppies. She loves kids and all people. Mr. Fuller said she'd be your friend even if you pointed a gun at her. She just loves everyone. She is house trained, current on vaccinations, and spayed. She is kid, dog, and cat friendly. If a cat runs, she will chase it, but she won't hurt it. Acee (as in A/C) is about 1 1/2. Reesee found her one day and started caring for her. She was about 6 weeks old. Mr. Fuller asked around the neighborhood and found out she'd been abandoned by a family that moved. He took her in. She had parvo and had to be treated. Obviously, she survived. I was told that she has never known anything but love and kindness, and it shows in her personality.She is great with kids, other dogs, and cats. She, too, will chase a cat if it runs. She's house trained, current on vaccinations, and spayed.These dogs are bonded and MUST stay together. They love each other too much to be separated. Since they are already losing their owner, it seems unfair that they might have to lose each other too. So again, they must stay together. Both are very gentle, well behaved, sweet dogs. They are very content just to have contact with their person. They are both used to medical devices and wheelchairs. Mr. Fuller suggested that they would make excellent therapy dogs. Both are very easy to handle. They love baths and will jump right into the tub. Mr. Fuller promises that they are the best socialized dogs you could ever meet and that, after just a week of kindness and treats, they will happily bond with a new person. 
UPDATE: Mr. Fuller passed away the day after Acee and Reesee left for NJ. We promised him that his dogs would be well taken care of and an awesome home would be found. They are currently being fostered by one of our volunteers who reports they are great dogs. Well behaved and easy to walk. Please help make Mr. Fuller's dying wish for his dogs come true.
