My personality

My story

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

We just welcomed lookalike duo Bernie and Cleo! These adorable pups are closely bonded and we plan to keep them together. We believe they are mother and son Yorkie / Beagle mixes around 11 or 12 years old.

Bernie and Cleo were devastatingly surrendered when their elderly owner's health declined. They are in good shape but you can tell which one may be the faster eater - Bernie’s one thick boy and his mama Cleo is a little thin! Both pups did wonderfully meeting other dogs and are an incredibly sweet and fully bonded pair.

It’s reportedly been awhile since they’ve seen the vet, so we are eager to see how they’re doing medically. At first glance, we know some serious dentals are definitely in store! Mama Cleo is also on anti-seizure meds which apparently have worked well for her.

Cleo is approximately 12 years old and 11 lbs; Bernie is approximately 11 years old and 21 lbs.
