Say hello to Hachi and Uma! These two little guys are a little shy, very sweet, and can't wait to rock their ugly sweaters this holiday season. They have lived together their whole lives and would love to find a home as a bonded pair. They are shy around other animals but warm up with a little bit of time. If you're looking for a couple of squishy little lap dogs, these pups might be the perfect fit for you. Uma and Hachi are currently in foster care, if you are interested in them please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours and email cshamgochian@parl.org to set up a meet and greet.
