Story
Looking to rehome together My family offered to take Oso and Chico and find them a new home as they were in a neglectful situation. We cannot keep them long term as our family already has 2 dogs. Oso is 10 month old male maltese/poodle/terrier mix. He is friendly and likes people and kids. He warms up to other dogs pretty quickly and has not been around cats. He is high energy and playful. He needs exercise and play otherwise he will not settle to sleep. Chico is a 7 month old male chihuahua and friendly with people, kids, and warms up to small dogs quickly. It take a bit longer for him to warm up to bigger dogs. He has not been around cats. He is playful but can settle with some attention. He sleeps well through the night. Both are unneutered and in good health. They are not potty trained and will need to finish learning general household manners. They have been given the bordetella and dhlpp vaccine. They also received credelio flea medicine for dogs. Anaheim area
