About Lil Bit Bonded To

Lil Bit, formerly known as Briar Rose, comes as a bonded package with her companion Tilde and they must be adopted together. She’s got a lovable side and a protective streak, especially once she gets to know you. Lil Bit is wary at first around new people or places, but with patience, her playful spark comes out—especially when she's around dogs her own size. Large dogs intimidate her, but she thrives in the company of similar-sized friends and enjoys bursts of active play. Treats are the key to her heart, and she’s already picked up some basic commands. Between play sessions with Tilde, she loves couch time, crinkle toys, and tossing around a ball. Lil Bit is fine with dogs her size and, while she hasn't met any cats, she’s likely to do fine with them. Because of her nervous energy, Lil Bit isn’t recommended for homes with children.
