My personality

My story

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

Wrigley and Lucky are bonded sisters who get along great! Lucky is 10 and Wrigley is 8. They are sweet girls who love attention and to be a part of everything you are doing. They are housebroken and they will let you know when someone is at your door. They will bark for a minute or two and will have to make them stop or they will keep going. When you leave, they will bark and howl for about 5 minutes if someone is here and gets them to stop, or for 10-15 minutes of no one is home They will not try to run out of the door when it is opened, and they love car rides. Wrigley will try to be on your lap or passenger seat and Lucky likes to be on the floor of the van. We don't usually crate them, but they have been before and are fine with it. They get along with children of all ages and Lucky is fine with other dogs. Wrigley does not get along well with other dogs, especially if there is a treat or rawhide she is trying to hide and save. Wrigley seems to go after the female dog primarily, but has also had issues with the male dog at times. Both girls sleep on the bed with you, if you put Lucky on there as she cannot jump the height of the bed (but can on the couch). Lucky has a collapsing trachea that she takes medicine for it every 8 hours and does well on them, but late at night when she is super relaxed, she has to cough or hack up loudly for a few minutes and a few times and then is fine. She also has to take heart medication 2 times a day. We are trying to walk her to get the weight down now that is is getting cooler. Wrigley is 16/17 lbs and Lucky is around 30 but could definitely stand to lose weight. Lucky likes to go into small trash cans and pull out anything she can eat and rip apart, and they both will try to get your food if you let them and have stolen snacks from the kids before when left out. They will wait patiently for anything you want to give them to eat after you are finished and are grateful for it. They love to chew treats, dog toys, and regular treats.. They eat Purina True Instinct dog food and just graze throughout the day. Wrigley is very vocal and will let you know how she is feeling at any time and is adorable how she 'talks' and howls when excited and will go in circles and snort when you get her really going. She loves belly rubs and needs constant reassurance that she is a good girl and is wanted and will stick to you like glue anytime you sit down or lay down They would make great companions to someone who has the time for them and they have so much love to give. They are the sweetest girls and have been so fun to have around. They are used to a high energy and full kid house half the time and a quiet and solo napping house the rest of the time and love both. There is no digging outside, or chewing on any furniture or kid toys, just their stuff and sometimes the trash if they can get to it. Wrigley has never had a litter, but has a motherly instinct and will sometimes protect a toy like it's her baby and will growl if any other dog comes near it and try to intimidate them. Wrigley was spayed in the rescue and Lucky was already spayed (previously) and both are current on vaccines.

More about this rescue

We rescue senior. medical and special needs dogs from the community and shelters to save them from euthanasia. We bring these homeless dogs and cats to our sanctuary, or to live with one of our foster families, where they receive quality care, comfort and dignity. We provide a temporary or permanent home for senior pets for the remainder of their lives, or until they have received all the medical care needed to become adoptable. Our primary goal is to find a permanent loving and compassionate homes for senior pets while they are still experiencing quality of life.
