Story
These sweet girls are a bonded pair - sisters. They were adopted together and are inseparable. Both are house trained, crate trained, silly, and very active. Their shots are up to date and they are both spayed. They need to be together as Roxie is shy and Mia helps her with her confidence. They are polite with treats and not food/water aggressive at all. They are so loved but deserve a home where their humans aren’t always at work. They love to run and Mia hops. Belly rubs are the best.

Story
Special girl needs a loving home! Lovey’s elderly owner became very ill and we took her in to find her a new family! Lovey is between 7-8 years old but you would never know it. She is full of life and loves to play, run and do her signature happy dance! She also has no problem hanging out and snuggling all day. She doesn’t bark much and is potty trained! At first, she can be very timid to new people, but with a gentle hand and some patience she warms up quickly and you will see this lil spark of joy come to life! Previous small breed experience would be best! She needs to be the only animal in the home as the terrier in her drives her to chase smaller animals or push away other dogs. She is a princess after all. Lovey has lost everything she has ever known and deserves a family or owner of her own who will love her.
