My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Leah and Mia are reported to be 11-year-old siblings. We aren’t sure about that but we do know that these very senior girls had been medically neglected for a long time. When they came to us they had almost no teeth and the ones they did have were loose and rotted. Because of the infections their lower jaws had become weakened. Leah’s is not as severe but Mia’s jaw has deteriorated to the point that it has separated. We scheduled a dental immediately so they would not need to suffer any further. They came through the surgeries like the little troopers they are and feel much better and are eating well even though they are completely toothless. Leah weighs 4.5# and Mia weighs 3.9#. They are bonded to each other but not in the extreme.

They must be adopted together and only to a family with experience in caring for senior, special-needs dogs. For more information about these tiny girls, please e-mail or fill out our online adoption application.

Leah & Mia are friendly and calm, but do tend to startle easily. They will potty outdoors if carried outside, but otherwise use puppy pads or paper. They like to spend time on the couch but aren't attention-seeking, and tend to curl up on the cushions together. They are in the front row when it comes time to share handouts of people food during meals in their foster home.
