About Thelma & Louise

Chihuahua
Age: Adult
Sex: Female

Thelma & Louise What has 8 legs and are sweeter than sugar? Thelma and Louise.The 9 year old Chihuahua duo that's who! After a couple months in foster care they are now ready to start looking for their new furever home. They have endured quite a bit of vetting and will be able to get adopted together in September. These 2 didn't have the best life from day one. From what we were told they were born into a puppy mill and lived in a cage together for about 7 years. Then a rescue took them but because they had a hard time adopting them out as a bonded pair they handed them over to someone that could keep them safe and sound until we swooped in and started fostering them. Thelma, the doe headed, long legged beauty will wrap you around her little paws once she warms up and trusts you. She takes a couple weeks to come around but once she does watch out she will shower you with love and do the 'happy feet' dance when she's excited. She had her gallbladder removed the beginning of August. Once she gets her staples out and her bloodwork rechecked she will be in tip top shape. Louise, the apple head with fur so soft you would think she uses Downey is quicker to trust. If you don't continuously shower her with love and attention she will let you know she is displeased by giving you the stink eye. She has arthritis and is on Dasuquin to help keep her limber for life. Because of the arthritis we believe a home that is furnished with ramps is best for her well-being. She is also on a special diet for her urinary tract. She has crystals in her urine and the diet will help to keep stones from forming. They are both currently using potty pads and going outside to do their business. We have them on incontinence medication. When we first got them they both would go anywhere and everywhere but now that they are more comfortable in their environment we are starting to believe that they were not potty trained and just didn't know what to do. This may be able to be discontinued at some point.They do require a fenced yard as they have not mastered walking on a leash- they like to play 'dead' when going for a walk! Dentals were done in June. Thelma lost 7 teeth and Louise lost 2. They don't mind having the comradery of other dogs in the home (we have 6 doxies of our own). These bed hogs love sleeping in nooks and crevices with their foster family and when we are away from home they are content lounging in an open crate with a pee pad. If you are looking for low maintenance pups that just want a safe place to give love and be loved you would hit the jackpot with them. Once you meet these two sweethearts you will have a hard time not falling in love with them. They are being fostered in Seven Hills, OH. Please feel free to email their foster parents with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet.
