Story
*Bonded Senior Pair* Dog Name: Archer (tan) & Zoey (white&black) Breed: Chihuahuas Sex: Male & Female Age: 8 Weight: 8 & 10 lbs, respectively Medical Needs: Zoey is heartworm positive & has a heart murmur, so the fast kill option to treat the heartworms is not advised at this time. She will be rechecked in a few months to see how she has responded to just being on preventatives. Archer is missing most of his teeth and has lost most of his lower jaw because of it, so he needs to eat wet food. They both have luxating patellas and will occasionally walk with one back leg in the air. Housebroken: No. They will use puppy pads, but if given free roam without supervision they will absolutely go anywhere they please. Crate trained: Yes. They love their crate. Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: They don't really understand what it is and will freeze if you try to pull them along. Energy level: Low Need a fenced in yard: Yes Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Unknown Kid Friendly: Unknown If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Older teens only. They are scared of fast movements and loud noises. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Archer and Zoey were rescued from a hoarding/neglect situation in GA. During this time, they were house in a kennel with several other dogs with limited human interaction. They understand that people bring them food, and that's about it. They are not snappy or bitey, preferring to run to the safety of their crate when scared/nervous. They deserve so much better than what life previously gave them, especially now in their senior years. A quiet home with people who are willing to accept that these 2 seek affection only from each other initially and will need an extensive warmup period before they get comfortable in a new home. They absolutely love to stroll around the yard in the warmer months and roll around in the grass. They also love beds. The fluffier the better. They really just seek out any and all sources of comfort they can find now that they know what it feels like.

Story
Dog Name: Sugar Breed: Chi mix Sex: Female Age: 3 years Weight: 15 lbs. Medical Needs: None Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: a little nervous, but settles. In crate, or in your lap. Went on a 7 hour road trip and did just fine! Good on a leash: Yes! She loves walks and is well behaved on a leash. Energy level: Medium, but also chills readily. Need a fenced in yard: No, but she did readily use a 10'x25' fenced in area to potty and show off her ferocious guard dog skills. Dog Friendly: Yes, loves other dogs, and has been good with dog savvy cats. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Yes Kid Friendly: Yes, with supervision and gentle introduction. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be? She will not be placed in a home with children under age 16. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Sugar is smart! She comes when called, knows "stay", "no" and is working on "sit". She loves to go for walks and to play, but she also will be content to just hang out and relax. She is a little hesitant when meeting new people, but warms up quickly with a calm introduction.
