About Hope and Joy

Meet Hope and Joy, a bonded pair of spayed females looking for a loving home in the Dallas or North Central Texas area. These sweet sisters, around 6.5 years old and weighing about 10 pounds each, are a delightful mix of Chihuahua and Bichon Frise. After their previous family could no longer care for them, these two came to the rescue and are now on the lookout for a forever home—together. Hope is the cuddle expert, while Joy brings the playful spirit to the duo. Both love toys, snuggling up for some couch time, and getting excited when their foster mom arrives home. Potty trained and adept at using pee pads, they will curl up together in their dog bed when bedtime comes around. They’d thrive in a calm, patient home, ideally with older, mature children who can appreciate their gentle nature. Though they enjoy quiet moments, they can be a bit reactive to unfamiliar sounds and may bark, so a detached home would suit them better than an apartment. If you're looking for a pair of sweet companions who will fill your life with love and cuddles, Hope and Joy could be the perfect addition to your family.
