Penny

Chihuahua

Female, Young

Fall River, MA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Penny was rescued during COVID. We found her abandoned and took on the task of giving her the love she was missing. She is a super sweet girl, very energetic, loves cuddles, and can be very vocal. When we found her, they approximated her age as 2 years (estimated birthday June 2018) which makes her about 6 years old. Our circumstances have changed over the years, we moved states, switched to apartment living instead of a homestead and I work nonstop out of the home. Penny requires more time with humans as she has some separation anxiety and right now she's spending most of her time alone. She is very smart and while she has some housetraining issues, this is mostly due to the amount of time I must spend away from her now. She also needs dental work that is out of our budget. Penny needs a family with no other pets, and plenty of at home time to give her the love and attention she deserves.

Luna

Doberman Pinscher

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Luna will be a special needs adoption. She recently went through some extensive treatment for an autoimmune disorder that may or may not reoccur later on in life. She may also be placed on medication for the rest of her life.She hasn't let that get her down, though! She's a sweet three and a half year old lady that loves to give kisses and nudge people's hands for pets. She's an extroverted angel that loves strangers. She's so, so incredibly smart and knows so many cues and doesn't walk too bad on a leash for a 95lb dog! She loves toys and loves to play but she also loves to snuggle and get as many kisses as she can (and also give them right back!) We are working on getting them into Doberman Rescue Unlimited. However, it takes time, and there is a process. We figured that we would post these two beautiful dogs and see if anyone would be interested in either of them. If they are adopted before they are able to be transferred, great!Luna would do best as the only animal in the home. She's very, VERY shy around other dogs and it's clear that they make her uncomfortable no matter how friendly and well-mannered they are. We would also prefer any children in the home be 12+.
