My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tifo and Ghost
Bonded Pair Foster/Home Needed – Long Island, NY

Meet Tifo and Ghost. These best buddies are in need of a new home because sadly their owner, who loved them very much, recently passed away and the family can no longer care for them.

Tifo is a 10yr old male Border Collie mix, weighing about 65lbs. His recently deceased owner took him in 8 years ago when the previous owner died. Sadly, the pair were homeless and lived in the owner’s car. They were not treated kindly by the neighbors and it’s left Tifo a bit skittish, but he's determined to bond with whoever will be caring for him. Understandably, he does not like cars. Tifo is fine with other dogs but he is more of a loner, preferring human company, or hanging out with his best buddy Ghost.

Ghost is a 4-5yr old male Huskie-Malamute mix, weighing about 100lbs, who loves everyone he meets! His owner adopted him 2-3yrs ago from someone she knew. He is a friendly and sociable dog who gets along well with both animals and people. Ghost is just a big ole fluffy mush!

Both dogs are neutered and updated shots.
