Back to all dogs

Meet Buffy and Tina

Buffy and Tina came to CARE together as a bonded pair. Buffy is a maltese and Tina is a chihuahua. Their owner passed away last spring. She was a homeless woman so these two little dogs depended on each other a lot. They were frequently left alone for long periods of time either in a tent or a motel room. Neither had ever lived in a home. They lacked social skills at first but have come a long way since. Buffy is a little skittish around strange people at first but warms up quickly to anyone with a lap for her to snuggle on. Tina is a little more nervous and is frightened of men. Both love their walks and sniffing out all the new smells. Both are crate, leash and potty trained and love treats and snoozing on the couch. Both are UTD on shots, spayed and on flea preventatives. Neither has ever been around small children. The perfect home would be a quiet one with a patient loving lady and a fenced yard. Please no children under 10.
