My name is Harper!

Hi!  My name is Harper and me and Hannah were living with a third small dog with our owner in rural south GA.  Hannah appears to be a chihuahua mix, is about 12mos old, and she only weighs a little under 11lbsOur owner's son came to ride out Hurricane Helene and brought his GSD who went after us small dogs.  Rather than separating us, he threw us outside to fend for ourselves; unfortunately, our friend did not make it but we survived by huddling under a car next to one of the wheels.  After the storm, our owner contacted a small local rescue to see if they would take us in as she didn't want us to get hurt.  A volunteer with that rescue contacted BCAA to see if they could help us and they said yes!  We are not bonded and can be adopted separately.   I appear to be a chihuahua mix, am about 12mos old, and only weigh a little under 11lbs; Hannah appears to be a maltese mix, is about 18mos old and she only weighs a little under 8lb.  We are both kind of shy when we first meet new people, but our foster mom has been super nice to us and it didn't take us long to trust her and now we love getting attention.  We have gotten along with all of the other small/medium sized dogs we have met and haven't bothered the cats.  Once we learned the schedule to go out we have done really well in our crate without any accidents; we aren't barkers either although we would prefer to be out with you and exploring.  We both love food and treats, and we have eaten side-by-side without any issues (we do see who can finish first!).  We are not good on leash as we probably never had one on before so we will require a physically secure fenced yard (I will need a 6' fence as I can easily go over a 4' fence in my quest to be near my person).
