***Bonded –Penny & Molly are bonded and must be adopted together.***

Meet Penny and Molly! Hi, we’re Penny and Molly, a bonded pair of Chihuahuas with big personalities and a lot of love to give! Don’t let our age fool you – we are full of energy and charisma.  We’re affectionate, silly, resilient, and very loyal once we acclimate to our new environment. 

Penny: I’m a 13-year-old Chihuahua girl weighing 7.2 pounds. I love curling up in the coziest spot I can find near my person.  I also love food so I might need some tricks to slow me down.

Molly: I’m a 13-year-old Chihuahua girl and weighing 8.6 pounds. I love giving kisses to my special person and any spot close to them is my favorite place in the world. I like food and though I love my bestie, Penny, it’s usually a good idea for us to eat separately so we’re not tempted to share.  

Favorite Things: Molly and Penny are very affectionate and bond closely with their special person as their trust builds. They do best in a calm environment with limited foot traffic, but they can handle being home alone for a few hours, as long as they have each other!  They can take or leave toys, much preferring to hang out with each other and their person. They do love their food and are very food-motivated, which helps with training. They also love neighborhood walks and relaxing on the couch with their humans in the evening. 

Training & Manners: Penny and Molly are working on housetraining and do best when let out on a regular schedule. They'll need continued coaching and patience with house manners but already do well with leash walking.  They enjoy their walks and the exercise helps them settle.   They are fine on car rides and sleep soundly in the people bed at night in their foster home.

Health & Care: This pair are both up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed, and recently had dental cleanings.  They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Regular baths and nail trims will keep them looking and feeling their best.

Other Animals: Penny and Molly have experience with other small, laid-back dogs.  They have not been tested with cats, but their foster mom suspects they would not be a good fit.

Children: These two sweethearts would do best in an adult-only home as the high energy that children generally bring unsettles them.  Molly in particular is uncomfortable when someone moves too quickly into her personal space.  

Ideal Home: This pair isn’t picky and could do fine in an apartment, condo, townhouse or single home.  They can be left alone in the home in a secure space for a few hours without issues.

Overall: If you have a heart and home big enough for two sweet Chihuahuas who make wonderful companions for their people and each other, Penny and Molly might be the ones for you. If you think they might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation for the pair is $300.
