Pets of the Week: Betty and Benny

Say hello to Betty and Benny! These two Shih Tzus are a bonded pair seeking their forever home. They absolutely adore each other and rely upon one another for comfort and companionship. Needless to say, they are looking for a loving home that will welcome them both. At seven years young, these dogs have plenty of love to give! These well-behaved little ones boast impressive house manners and are a joy to have around. Their calm and quiet dispositions make them an excellent choice for someone who is looking for a couple of low key companions.

Although Benny is deaf, he’s not adversely affected by his lack of hearing. His sister is always there to serve as his ears when needed. Both dogs are just under 20 pounds and are in good health. They get along well with other dogs and generally ignore cats. Betty and Benny prefer mature companionship, so they are looking for a home with adults and older teenagers.

This lovely pair enjoys leisurely walks and simply spending time at home with their favorite people. They bond quickly to those they trust and like to devotedly tag along wherever their person goes. Betty and Benny are patiently waiting for their new family to discover them. All they need to do is find that special person who is ready to open their heart to two wonderful dogs.
