PHILIPPE (BONDED WITH PIERRE) - MALTESE / POODLE (TOY) / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Toy) / Mixed. Hi I’m Philippe with the floppy ears! My brother Pierre and I are two distinguished gentlemen of 15 years, and we come as a perfectly matched set of Maltese mixes. We are a small dapper duo, about 10 lbs each, but our presence is mighty in the ways that count: loyalty, calm companionship, and the art of a good nap. Our previous person couldn't take us with them when they went into assisted living and Underdogs Rock! Rescue saved us quickly so that we could stay together. Now we’re looking for a peaceful, loving home where we can spend our golden years together. Our ideal day involves an easy, leisurely stroll to sniff the interesting things, followed by the main event: finding the perfect, soft spot for cuddles and peaceful nap time. Long hikes or frantic games of fetch though are too much for our little aging bodies, but we do like to play with toys occasionally! We have hearty appetites, love getting treats, and enjoy our daily walks. As little seniors go, we have some expected aging health things like poor teeth, but we just went to the vet and got our bloodwork done and are in great shape for our age. Our rescue will be talking with the vet about getting a teeth cleaning and extractions if needed. We do well if we need to be crated, ride well in a car, and have good house training habits when we are taken outside as needed. My brother and I have so much love left to give, and we're hoping to find a kind human (or two!) to share our peaceful world. High energy homes with active young children will be too much for us. While we’d prefer to be the only dogs in the home, we get along well with other dogs and wouldn’t mind joining a family with other dogs with similar energy. Could you be the ones to give us the gentle, loving home we're dreaming of? Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee for both of u is $390. They are being fostered in SE Portland. You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog.
