Meet Tiny and Little Bit. These two brothers make the perfect dynamic duo. They are super sweet and are inseparable. They are there for one another, and will be there for you too! They both have sweet souls and are looking for a family who will love them and nurture them as they grow up together.

Tiny and Little Bit have been through a lot the last few months. Their owner that they had lived with their entire life sadly passed away. All of the family members lived out of state, and were not able to take them. So they were surrendered to the Graham TX Animal Shelter. That shelter filled up quickly and these boys were on the "red list". The kind volunteers in Graham reached out to CRT to see if we could save them. We immediately agreed to bring them into our program and our volunteer team made the 4 hour round trip to Graham to bring them to Dallas. We are delighted to have them. They are the sweetest little boys. They are very bonded. Tiny and Little Bit are a great duo, and we are committed to finding a forever home where they can stay together.

Tiny and Little Bit are happy dogs. They get along well with the other small dogs in their foster home. They enjoy playing together and will run and romp through the house and outdoors. They are active and fun. Tiny and Little Bit enjoy being out in the backyard. This fall weather is allowing them more trips outside where they show their joy by running crazy 8's in the yard! When these siblings are done playing, they crash for a nap. You can often find them snuggled together in the same bed with their heads laying on each other!

Tiny and Little Bit love their family. They are very adaptable and warm up quickly to people as they meet them. They love to hang with you in whatever room you are in so they don't miss any family fun. When you are ready to relax, they are ready too. They both love to cuddle. They will both climb up on top of you and share your love. They are often intertwined on their foster's lap! They freely give you affection and lots of kisses. This warms our hearts so much. Note that sometimes as they are following you around, they can get close to your feet, and thus be a tripping hazard.

Both Tiny and Little Bit are super smart. They fit in with the pack and the daily routines very quickly. They are potty trained. We are currently teaching them to use a doggy door. They are also learning to "sit" for treats. They are crate trained and enjoy sleeping together in the same crate at night. They would also enjoy sleeping with their family if you would let them! We are also starting to work with them on a leash.

Tiny and Little Bit have grown up together. Little Bit is about 8 years old. He weighs 6.5 pounds and is reddish in color. Tiny is about 7 years old. He is a small 5.5 pounds and has the longest legs ever! They are very active dogs and love family activity. We know they are very bonded and we will be adopting them together so they can spend their lives together in one family.

These guys are both adorable. We think they would do better in a home with a yard. They will alert when they hear strange sounds. So they are not be a good fit for an apartment where noises are more magnified. They also love to explore and run in the yard - it is their happy place. Both Tiny and Little Bit love people and would be a good fit for any active, fun household. There are no children in their foster home, but we believe they would be great with older, mature children 13 and older.

Note that these guys were not neutered until they came to CRT. Because of that, Tiny has a bit of an enlarged prostrate. Our vet said that is due to his really small size (barely over 5 pounds) and the fact that he was not neutered while he was a puppy. They have us giving him a tiny bit of over-the-counter Miralax mixed in his food each day, and said it will correct itself in about 6 months. We have already seen improvement after a month! Also - both boys had dentals as well as their basic vet work (shots and microchip). So they are healthy, happy and ready to go!

Tiny and Little Bit are being fostered in the Dallas, Texas area. If they sound like the new best friends you've been looking for, please fill out an application! Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/

Tiny and Little Bit are spayed / neutered, micro chipped, up-to-date on shots, HW negative and on heartworm prevention. They are ready to join a loving family - could that family be yours?

These dogs are CRT rescues. Reference checks, adoption contract and $649.50 adoption donation required for the pair ($300 adoption donation for each -> $600 total).

As part of our mission to reduce the number of unwanted and sick dogs, we require that all current pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and taking heart worm prevention. Applications will not be considered if one or more of these requirements are not met.

After filling out an adoption application (found at http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/), please email DFWCoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com if you are interested in this dog. Please be sure to read about our adoption process and then fill out an adoption application before emailing the contact person.
