We are bonded one and a half year old brothers. We stick together and look for each other when we are out in our foster mom's fenced yard.We do scope out the fencing to see if we can get past the fence to explore ...my foster mom says it's a good thing we can't get past the fence.Charlie is easily led around by keeping a hold of Luca. A fenced yard is a must because they do like to sedately wander and explore. The boys chill a lot in the open kennel together. Both handle being kenneled all night, rarely barking at this point but everything is still new. They can be kenneled together or separately, doesn't seem to bother them either way. When outside, Charlie likes to be close to his human but prefers to be behind and will nose touch me often but Luca likes to be just out of reach. Once you have a hold of them they enjoy being petted but at this point they aren't clingy or begging for attention.Each boys adoption fee is $600 plus sales so for Charlie and Luca's adoption fee it's $1,200 plus sales tax $54=$1,254.00   My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 16, 2024, 2:05 pm

I have just begun my journey to live life as a house pet. I am working on house training, learning to chew on what puppies are supposed to chew on. Wearing a harness and walking on a leash..... that's all new ;) I am learning I now have a name, I still don't listen when my foster mom says 'Come, sit or stay' what's that all about ;)   I do need a fenced yard to keep me safe since I don't come when called and I loooooove to run, chase and play with the other dogs in my foster mom's fenced yard. I am shy and need another small dog in the house. When I meet new people I run so my foster mom had to keep a leash attached when in the house and put in the yard so she could catch me.   Can you be my furever home? I am 6 months old my adoption fee is $600 plus sales tax $27=$627 My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 16, 2024, 9:59 am
