My story
Update: Ashley and Heather.Ashley and Heather are still looking for their forever home. We’ve been fostering these two nuggets for a while now and their personalities are showing. More and more. They’re coming out of their shells and are starting to play more but are pretty content to be couch potatoes.They adapted well when we took them in. They’re housebroken and learned the routine quickly with only a few accidents in the first few days. They are very treat motivated. They’re littermates and have their own little language with each other. They are a bonded pair and should be adopted together.Ashley (black) is the more talkative one. Heather is more timid initially but does warm up quickly. They get along with their foster siblings who are medium sized. Unknown how they react to children or cats. They sleep through the night in their crate and go into their crate when told. But, they’d be more than happy to sleep on the bed with you.Neither one of them is interested in toys so bonus they’re not waking you up at 5:00 with a squeaky toy. They regularly keep up what the other one is up to. They love lounging in the sun. They’d like nothing better than to spend the day cuddling on or next to you. Well, maybe except for going on walks which they love.They’re estimated to be about 10 years old. They were surrendered by family members when their owner passed away. Ashley weighs around 14 pounds and Heather is around 12 poundsUpdate: Ashley and Heather. We’ve been fostering these two nuggets for a while now and their personalities are showing more and more.

They’re not particularly fond of being carried, especially Ashley. They do bark to alert you but quiet down when you tell them to.Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else.
