My story

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

Artie is a wonderful little Senior Chi who was surrendered to our center with his brother Jackie when their elderly guardian could no longer adequately care for them. Both dogs are very bonded and will need to be adopted together. Art and Jackie have wonderful personalities and are extremely eager to show affection and would make the perfect lap dog companions. Little is known about the background of this pair other than they have spent their entire lives together. Art and Jackie seem to do well with other smaller dogs. Art and Jackie enjoy their regular walks with our volunteers and one on one time with several treats and cuddles. Both dogs would do best in a home together, without any other pets or could possibly join a home with other smaller dogs. Ideally we would like to see Art and Jackie go into a home where someone could be there majority of the day to dote of the two in their Golden Years! If you are interested in meeting Art and Jackie please submit an application on the link below!
