When his senior owner moved to an apartment for easier management of his life needs, Tiny and his “brother” Little Bit tried to go with him but the landlord said no pets were permitted. Their dad was heartbroken, and felt that rehoming through the shelter was his only option. The boys were well-loved and are beautifully housetrained, and are adapting well for two seniors whose lives have been turned around. They are enjoying their quiet foster home, and will visit a vet soon. Here is what we know about Little Bit, gleaned from his person and our observations: He is ten years old, and he loves to have his butt scratched. He loves attention of any kind, and does not mind being picked up or held. He is overweight, and probably needs to lose half his bodyweight, but he really enjoys going outside, so maybe more exercise will help him. A fenced area would be lovely for him! He is not an actual blood brother to Little Bit, but they do like each other. I don’t think they are bonded, and I think either one would be happy if he was adopted to a family where he was the only dog and could get lots of attention. As far as we know, the boys were not exposed to young children, but in the brief time they were at the animal shelter, they seemed comfortable with other dogs. Little Bit walks well on a leash; he likes to burrow under a blanket when he sleeps, and he is quite comfortable sleeping on a soft cushion next to his human’s bed. His diet is gradually transitioning to more suitable food so he can shed some weight and feel even better. We already love Little Bit and his friend!
