About Minnie & Pepper

Meet Minnie and Pepper, a delightful bonded pair of 6-month-old Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu mixes. These charming girls bring a combination of fluffy sweetness and playful energy to the table. Minnie, the smaller of the two at 12 lbs., is a bit timid and relies on her sister, Pepper, for confidence. She warms up quickly to gentle small dogs and gets along well with cats. Once she trusts you, expect her to curl up on your lap for some tender petting. Pepper, weighing in at 16 lbs., is confident and takes the lead, helping Minnie develop her own bravery. Initially shy with new people, she soon becomes an affectionate lap companion. Both are playful, intelligent, and eager to explore their surroundings, making them perfect additions to your home. They are already house trained and do well on a leash. If you can provide a loving home and a fenced yard for these sweet girls, they are excited to make lifelong memories with you. Embrace the joy and snuggles that Minnie and Pepper have to offer!
