Double the dogs, double the love! Beau and Chica are two adorable little sisters looking for a home together, as they’ve never known life without one another and are not just sisters, but absolute besties too. These lovely girls are happiest when life is calm and cosy, whether that’s snuggled up in a comfy bed, enjoying plenty of cuddles (Chica is particularly enthusiastic about those!), or soaking up the sunshine during one of Chica’s favourite sunbathing sessions. They also have a serious appreciation for hot dog sausages, so if you’ve got those in your pocket, you’ll have two very interested little shadows! They can be a little wary of new people at first, but Beau usually likes to check everything is safe before Chica takes her cue from her sister. It doesn’t take long before they’re both happily enjoying all the love and fuss on offer.Beau and Chica would love a peaceful home in a quieter area, away from lots of traffic and hustle and bustle, where they can truly relax and be themselves. They could live with older teenagers and above, as younger children can make them feel anxious, and they’re looking to be the only pets in the home as other dogs and animals can be a little overwhelming for them. They’ve previously been comfortable being left for a few hours, making them a lovely match for many households. If you’re looking for two sweet little companions with hearts full of love, adorable personalities and a lifelong friendship that comes as part of the package, Beau and Chica are ready to bring twice the warmth, twice the cuddles and twice the smiles into their new home.
