My story

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

Benny and Jerry are brothers who absolutely adore each other so I want them to stay together. They do not display any signs of 'sibling syndrome' which is an unhealthy fixation on each other. Yes they love doing things together but they also play with other independently all the time and cuddle with others and want my attention independently. They do not get anxious if the other one is not around. So they have a healthy bond but are also independent. They are about 6 months old and appear to be Norwich terrier mixes. They have been around dogs of all sizes as well as cats and do great with everyone. They love cuddles but they are not lap dogs. They are active dogs as Norwich terriers are. They love exploring the woods and play by the pond and getting muddy. So they will need daily play time and exercise. But the good thing is that they keep themselves busy and exercised with each other. They are very entertaining and funny and will bring lots of joy to your home.

They are currently still in Oklahoma where they were rescued but they can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. They have to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take them in or they will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays.
