Story

Hi, I'm Cochise or Cheesy as my foster fam calls me. I am a total mover and a shaker! I am younger and active. I love to play - with dogs and people!! I may be small but my personality is HUGE! I’m small enough to sit on your lap and cuddle but rambunctious enough to go on any adventure that comes my way. All my days are happy and fun. I'm a smart, happy, loving and energetic little fella. I love food, treats and a nylabone or antler (I do slow down for a good nylabone). I promise to give you laughs and days with smiles - my motto is "It's pretty easy for me to be Cheesy". So, if you looking for an upbeat, cool little dude - send that application in - I'm your boy!

Story

Hi, my name is Paco, nice to meet you! I am an older guy with lots of life left. I'm missing a few teeth and am a little hard of hearing but don't worry, it doesn't slow me down. I am over any rambunctious shenanigans and am just looking to enjoy life. I am a good boy and get along with everyone but being older I would prefer a calmer sibling that will give me some space. I'm also perfectly fine if it's just me and you! I totally love pets, nap time and dinner time. I also love treats and am very food motivated. So, if you want a mature guy who is looking to just kick back and enjoy retirement - that's me!!
