Blossom and Buttercup are two Chihuahua/Pomeranian mixes, with mild mobility and sight impairments. (We have their DNA results!)
Their amazing foster says:
"They are super sweet. Child friendly and literally never bark. They love to wrestle one another and play tug while sitting in your lap. They are also very cuddly and love to be held. They are receptive to training. They were doing really good with sit, buttercup could also stay to some degree.
They get around pretty well. they cannot go down stairs, but can go up. I do think there could be some vision problems with the smaller one. She is pretty wall eyed and will sometimes seem surprised by sudden movements or something near her face. When they were younger they had a strange gait, but I think it's getting better.
Unfortunately they seem to have pretty sensitive tummies. Whomever adopts them should keep this in mind and be careful not to give them too many training treats."
These are special girls who deserve an extra-special home will has the patience and time to help them through their physical issues. They are very loving and sweet but need some extra TLC.
It would be great for them to be adopted together. ($400 joint adoption)

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
