About Lil Bit

Lil Bit and Bow Wow have spent years as inseparable friends, and they are looking for a home together. Lil Bit is a small, three-legged Chihuahua, about 13.5 years old, and she is the leader of this bonded pair. She enjoys staying on top of household security—barking to announce guests or new faces. Bow Wow, a 10-year-old Cairn terrier blend, looks to Lil Bit for direction and brings his own happy energy to the mix. Both are mellow, relaxed, and prefer companionship over toys. Lil Bit especially loves a lap, while Bow Wow appreciates an ear scratch and will show his joy with a signature wiggle. They're both house trained with a routine, have solid basic manners, and walk well on leashes. They sleep separately in their own beds but always remain close. Lil Bit and Bow Wow are healthy, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and have had recent dental care. Lil Bit will need help with regular baths and nail trims because of her physique, and Bow Wow benefits from professional grooming every couple of months. This duo does well with other small dogs and cats as long as introductions are gradual. They're looking for a quiet home, ideally with older kids (12+), no stairs or pool, and a secure fenced yard since Lil Bit has only three legs and likes to explore safely. Lil Bit and Bow Wow can be left alone for a few hours, content in a secure space. If you want a gentle, loving pair who bring comfort and routine, they might be the right fit. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
