Meet bonded buds Freddie and Nikki!

Freddie and Nikki were found -- along with more than 60+ other dogs and cats -- in a home in southwestern Virginia. As you can imagine, their world was pretty chaotic. But, they've started adjusting to a more peaceful life.

Nikki (right) is a 15-year-old, 7-pound pup with a permanent mhlem. 😋 She enthusiastically greets visitors with a wiggly b***y and some cute little hops. She likes to be held and doted over and will give you some stinky, wet kisses if you'll allow. Nikki has some itchy skin that will heal with quality food and some soothing baths.

Freddie (left) is a 7-year-old, 10-pound pup who believes his job is Nikki. His day revolves around keeping close tabs on her and ensuring she's safe. Where Nikki goes, Freddie follows. Given their age gap, it would be good for Freddie's world to begin to expand beyond Nikki's existence.

Their new family would be very patient and work on slowly introducing them to new people, places, and situations. They will need help with housetraining and gaining confidence.

This tiny twosome will be a little labor of love for someone very special. 💕 Their new family will have complete support from our behavior and training team, too. You can meet them today from noon until 7 p.m.
