Charlie and Gidget are looking for their forever home together! Sadly, their owner passed away, and there is no family that can care for them.
Charlie is 12 years old, neutered, and weighs 11 lbs. He is believed to be a Pembroke/Chihuahua mix. He is the sweetest little cuddle bug. He is a happy, sensitive, lap-loving boy. All he wants is your love, affection, to hang out with Gidget, and eat doggie treats. He enjoys playing with his soft toys and keeping them gathered in a tidy pile.
Gidget is a 9 ½-year-old terrier mix, spayed, and weighs in at a tiny 7.5 lbs. Gidget is missing her right front leg due to an accident when she was only a few weeks old. She gets around very well and can climb stairs and slopes just fine, but needs assistance going down some staircases and on steep downhill slopes as it is hard on her back. She will also need assistance to climb up into your lap or sit beside you, which are her happiest spots. She is curious, peppy, lovable, and charming. One more thing, when Gidget looks in the mirror, she sees a Great Dane!
Charlie and Gidget are cuddle buddies and are inseparable. They are both lap dogs and don’t mind sharing a single lap. They eat together, play together, sleep together, and they must stay together as a bonded pair. They are both housetrained and will let you know when they need to go out. They are also trained to go on pee pads. They get along well with other small gentle dogs, but neither of them has ever met a cat. They both enjoy short walks. Charlie keeps a watchful eye on Gidget and will not go back inside the house without her. They love their doggie beds and fuzzy blankets and lie in them wherever you place them, as long as they are together. They will alert you of potential danger with a couple of barks but will quiet instantly with a gentle hush. These pups merrily greet you when you come home and will be the perfect companions to someone who needs them as much as they need you.
