Description

Meet Mara (red) & Emily (black & tan); aka Ginger & MaryAnn, lol.  These bonded sisters are 12 years old & the sweetest pair ever!  They are on the smaller size, weighing in at about 11 pounds each, are up-to-date on their shots & are spayed. Both are potty trained as long as taken out regularly.  They are crate trained & sleep the night thru together.  They get along with other small dogs, not sure about cats or large dogs.  Both are a little shy at first, but warm up to new people very quickly.  Mara & Emily do well on a leash and enjoy lizard hunting in the backyard or sitting in the sun like most doxies. Mara is a bit more special needs and has IVDD, so she gets a monthly Librella injection at the vet which keeps her mobile.  She gets around on her own & does not need any help pottying.  Mara doesn’t do stairs but has learned to use a dog ramp to get to her favorite spot on the couch. They both had horrible dental disease, so DARE recently had dentals done; Emily lost all her teeth & Mara still has about 4 remaining.  Therefore, they are on soft foods. They love snuggling together when they are not snuggling on the coach with their person.  These two gals are very low key & easy going girls who would do best in a quiet home. Mara & Emily MUST stay together & are being fostered in Orlando but travel very well in a car.  If you think these two would make a good addition to your family, please fill out an adoption application & put their names on it. ♥
