Searching for Peanut and Jake

It’s “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week” from today through next Sunday, September 25!

Ah, what’s “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week”?

Peanut (f)

I’m glad you asked! Last week at BlogPaws bloggers were challenged to “Be the Change for Pets” by posting pictures of less adoptable pets from today through next Sunday, September 25.

On that note, may I introduce you to Shih Tzus Peanut and Jake.

The hope is that by giving these sweeties more exposure online someone will find it in their heart to provide them with their forever home.

They are awfully cute. What makes them less-adoptable?

Great question! First, they are older dogs. Peanut is 10 and Jake is 11. Second, they MUST be adopted together because they are very attached. They’ve lived their whole lives together. Separating them would, well, tear them apart.

What’s their story? Why were they given to a rescue?

Jake

Their owner passed away. They are sweet as can be and are both fond of people and love to go for car rides. Jake is very laid back until he sees a leash– he absolutely loves to go for walks and knows how to strut his stuff. Peanut is the sweetest thing on four paws, and the kind of dog you just want to hug.

I might be interested in adopting them. What should I do?

Excellent question! Click on this: Colorado Shih Tzu Maltese and Lhasa Apso Rescue. Scroll through the right side-bar and you’ll find pictures of Peanut and Jake, pictures of successful adoptions, an adoption application, contact information, and lots more.

Thanks. Just one more question. Why this rescue? Are you associated with them?

LOL! Well, sort of, but not really. Sadie’s BFF, Romeo, has a human sister who has a nanny. Her name is Nancy and she’s the director of foster care for the rescue. I take Sadie to Romeo’s almost every day during the week and over time Nancy and I have talked a lot about dogs. Last week I told Nancy about the “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week” and asked if she had any dogs that needed homes. Peanut and Jake immediately came to her mind.

Thanks for answering my questions. I hope these darling dogs find a forever home.

Wait! I have one more question. How can I get involved in this campaign?
