Meet Bella & Sebastian, a bonded pair of Shih Tzus. These two adorable seniors find themselves in need of a new home together through no fault of their own.

Sebastian is 10 years old, approx. 18 lbs., neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all of his vaccines, plus, interestingly, he has two different color eyes. He is house trained and uses the doggie door. He’s also crate trained, and walks perfect on a leash.

Bella is 11 years old, approx., 16 lbs., spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccines. She is house trained, crate trained and does great on a leash.

They both get along with other dogs, cats unknown, and need to be adopted together.
