UPDATE: According to Two Hearts Mini And Draft Rescue's Facebook page, the organization has chosen three adoption offers to consider.
Two horses are looking for a home after their owners were killed in a boating accident in Stafford County.
Josie, a Palomino walker, and Justin, a quarter horse, once belonged to Charlie Zintner and Melissa Smarr.
Zintner, 58, and Smarr, 55, vanished after leaving from the Landmark Yacht Club in Stafford County on July 8. Recovery teams found Zintner's body about 1,000 yards south of his boat the next day. Smarr was recovered a few hours later, according to police.
Two Hearts Mini and Draft Rescue, a Stafford County horse rescue organization, is looking for a home for the 20-year-old horses. The horses must be adopted together.
"This was a tragic situation but we were just doing what we do everyday and that is trying to save and home horses into loving homes. Bless you all!!!!," a post on the Two Hearts Mini And Draft Rescue Facebook page read.
