About Lance & Bailey Bonded

Lance and Bailey are a bonded pair of 5-year-old Chihuahua mixes looking for a home where they can stay together. Both are tiny, close companions who share a remarkable bond—when they're near each other, their confidence shows and they find comfort side by side. These two need a calm home with an understanding family that will give them time to settle in and bloom at their own pace. They warm up slowly but, once they feel safe, they're gentle, loyal, and love to cuddle and be near their people. The transition into a new space may take some patience, but you'll be rewarded with their genuine affection. Lance and Bailey do well with respectful older kids who understand boundaries. Dog introductions are welcome, but their relationship with cats is unknown. They are not fully house trained yet, so a little extra support on that front will be needed. Adopters must take both dogs together. If you're seeking a devoted duo that sticks together through thick and thin, this pair could be a perfect fit. Ready to fall in love?
