Bessie

Shih Tzu

11 years, Female, Extra Small

Interested in two small fluffy senior dogs? Meet Bessie Boo and her "sister" Daisy Mae, our maltese/shih tzu mixes. They lost the only home they've ever known when their owner passed away and are looking for a new retirement home where they can stay together. 

We dont know if they are actually sisters but they are both 11 years old. Bessie is a black and white ball of fluff and is the larger of the two at 11 lbs. She will not sleep or eat without her motherly Daisy Mae.  They will curl up together with a bed and blanket or sleep in your bed if allowed.  Bessie is quiet but will talk to you if you talk to her.  She does snore softly.  So cute!

Bessie loves being a lap baby and enjoys stretching out on the back of the couch. Larger dogs scare her but she is fine with small dogs and pays no mind to the vets cat. If you tell her go potty she will go outside with you. Both are used to living with a woman, but have no problems with getting attention from men. They have been around older children but not toddlers.

These two have a very special bond and have touched our hearts. We really want to keep them together, so if you have room for two tiny quiet girls, apply at www.caninecollective.org.
