Story
***Bonded – Bow Wow & Lil Bit are bonded and must be adopted together.***
Meet Bow Wow and Lil Bit! Hi, we are Bow Wow and Lil Bit. We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted. We’re both curious, gentle and a little shy and we’re searching for a family that has LOVE enough for two.
Bow Wow – I’m a 10-year-old Cairn terrier blend boy who weighs 12.6 lbs. I happily follow my best-friend-furever’s lead but I’m also fond of human cuddles. My enthusiastic wiggle when I see my people will tell them all they need to know.
Lil Bit – I’m a three-legged Chihuahua girl who is 13.5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. I take the lead in our dynamic duo, like any self-respecting Chihuahua, but Bow Wow is my best friend in the world and we get along like two peas in a pod. I’m also in charge of surveillance in my home and neighborhood, so you can rest easy.
Favorite Things: This pair eats, plays, and sleeps together and are very relaxed in each other’s company. Bow Wow loves to snuggle with his human and be scratched behind his ears. Lil Bit likes to sit on her human’s lap when it’s time to chill. They can take or leave toys, preferring to enjoy time with their people and their soulmates over playing with the squeaky stuff.
Training & Manners: Bow Wow and Lil Bit are house trained when kept on a regular schedule. They have good basic manners, walk well on their leashes and tolerate a car ride. Both sleep in their own cozy beds at night in their foster home.
Health & Care: This is a healthy pair who are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings. They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Bow Wow will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to look and feel his best while Lil Bit will need regular baths and nail trims that can be done at home.
Other Animals: Bow Wow and Lil Bit have experience with other small dogs as well as cats and get along with both but need slow introductions.
Children: These two sweethearts would do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 12+), or a home with no kids and quiet senior living would be great too!
Ideal Home: This pair will need a home without stairs or a pool given Lil Bit’s three-legged physique. And they’ll do best in a single-family home because Lil Bit will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors (she has a strong resume as security director). They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space. This duo would do best in a fenced-yard where they can sniff, explore and wander together safely in nature.
Overall: If you’re looking for a cuddly couple who make wonderful companions for their people as well as each other, Bow Wow and Lil Bit might be the ones for you. If you think they might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation for the pair is $300.
