amp;bull; Must Be Adopted Together
Birdie and Minnie are a tiny, enchanting team who prove that love, trust, and joy don’t require sight. These two beautiful girls are blind, but once they feel safe in their space, you’d never know it. They learn their surroundings quickly, explore with confidence, and will happily follow their foster parents around the house and yard like the sweetest little parade.
They’re world‑class snugglers, generous with kisses, and absolutely devoted to their humans.
Meet the Girls
Birdie
~5 years old 9 lbs Possibly a Chihuahua/Spaniel mix (but who really knows!) The steady leader of the pair — Minnie’s guide, comfort, and maybe even her mom Minnie
~2 years old 5.5 lbs Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix with a gloriously fluffy coat that makes her look bigger than she is The tiny shadow who follows Birdie’s lead with total trust Both girls are spayed, had dentals just last week, and have been evaluated by an eye specialist at Sage, who believes they’ve been blind since birth.
A Bond Like No Other
Birdie and Minnie are inseparable. They play together, sleep curled up together, and even share a food bowl. If Birdie does it, Minnie is right behind her. Their connection is deep, comforting, and absolutely heart‑melting.
What They Need
Because they are blind, Birdie and Minnie can startle at new sounds and need time to adjust to unfamiliar environments. They thrive with gentle voices, predictable routines, and a safe setup. It is ideal for blind dogs to have a patient sighted dog in the home. We'd love for the future home to have a gentle sighted dog.
A few things their future family should be ready for:
Baby gates for any stairs A protected, consistent home layout A cozy safe space (we can provide a pen) Patience as they map out their new world Experience with visually impaired dogs is preferred but not required — their foster family will guide you through everything you need to know.
Meet‑and‑Greets
Birdie and Minnie are currently in Palo Alto, and all meet‑and‑greets will take place in their foster home where they feel secure and confident.
These girls are pure sweetness, resilience, and devotion wrapped in two tiny, fluffy packages. If you’re ready to open your heart to a bonded pair who will love you endlessly, Birdie and Minnie are waiting.
