Story
Hola, amigos! Allow us to introduce you to Pepe y Pita, the cutest, chonkiest, and most charming senior dog duo you’ll ever meet! These two might be a bit shy at first, but once they warm up, they’ll shower you with love, belly rubs, and laughter. Pepe, 12 years old and 19 lbs, is a laid-back Chihuahua with a long, chonky body and a relaxed attitude. Though reserved at first, once he feels comfortable, he’s all about attention, pets, and chin scratches. He’s a leash pro, enjoying slow strolls in the sun with his adventurous sidekick, Pita. Pita, 9 years old and 14 lbs, is the life of the party, with a smile that lights up any room and ears that can’t be missed. Her playful and fiery spirit brings out the best in Pepe, encouraging him to have fun and make new friends. Together, they’re a heartwarming duo full of love, laughs, and sweet moments. Whether snuggling or basking in attention, Pepe and Pita are the perfect pair to welcome into your home. Ready to be charmed by their wiggly walks, adorable smiles, and endless love? The adventure with Pepe and Pita is just beginning! Vamos!
Here's some notes from their foster:
Pita and Pepe are a really smiley pair of pups! They adore pets, cuddles, belly scritches, treats, and each other. Pita is immediately affectionate, filled with doggie kisses, and is a fabulous lap dog. Her favorite thing is laying in my lap on her back and having her belly scratched. “Peppy Pepe” is affectionate, too, and has a huge personality. He loves big stretches, does an enviable upward dog yoga pose, and is prone to zoomies. Both doggies share the sweet habit of wrapping their legs around my arm so that I keep petting them.
They are friendly meeting people, good with small children, and have been fine (maybe a bit indifferent) with our three cats. They sometimes bark hello to new dogs on walks, but settle and have been friendly and polite meeting new dogs when off leash at Muttville Headquarters and events. They are great nappers and relaxed work from home companions. Pita and Pepe show no signs whatsoever of separation anxiety if left home alone, at least provided that they are together.
Pita and Pepe enjoy car rides, short to medium length walks, and being outdoors as much as possible to sniff all the wonderful smells. They are well matched in size and pace and easy to walk together. They have not shown much interest in toys, but get hours of enjoyment out of jerky covered bones. They present as being in overall good health and are not on any medications at this time. They can both do stairs including a steep flight of wooden stairs in our house, and use a ramp to get on and off my higher than average bed. As an added bonus they are both reliably potty trained and also pee pad trained, which Pepe will sometimes avail himself to overnight.
It’s been really fabulous hosting Pita and Pepe. They are extremely easy to care for. I believe they will do well in a relaxed home with or without furry friends. They are such a fun, amazing and adorable pair!
