Story

Toshi and Lilli are looking for a home together where they can be loved and spoiled. Toshi is 14 years old and Lilli is 15 years old. Both weigh 12 lbs but have very different body types. Lilli could be described as a bowling ball of fluff. She has tiny legs and so much fur. She does have some arthritis so she can sometimes be stiff when walking, but she gets around just fine. But, no stairs for this girl. She does take gabapentin daily for arthritis. Lilli is on eye drops daily for dry eye, but she's great for her eye meds. Lilli can be vocal when she wants something, usually food. She absolutely loves to cuddle. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and has recently had full blood work. Toshi absolutely loves walks. This old man can keep up with the puppies! Toshi does have a grade 5 heart murmur, but a recent echo indicated stage 1 mitral valve disease and no medication is needed at this time. But he will need future echocardiograms to monitor. Toshi was recently diagnosed with a UTI so he's currently on antibiotics. Toshi will bark at noises and people coming and going so we suggest no apartments. Toshi is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and recently had full blood work. Both Lilli and Toshi are guaranteed to make you smile. They have such cute and loving personalities and we're excited to find them a home.
