About Frodo and Samwise

Meet Frodo and Samwise, two tiny best friends on one big adventure. These bonded Chihuahuas, each weighing just 4 pounds, are in search of a forever home together. They've faced challenges, yet their companionship has seen them through it all. Samwise arrived with a severely broken leg that had to be amputated, but don’t let that fool you; he’s adapted beautifully to life as a three-legged dog. Meanwhile, Frodo has a unique wiggle-walk due to a congenital knee condition, but this doesn’t hinder his spirit. He’s full of life and joy, even if he requires a little assistance getting on and off furniture. Both boys are working diligently on their potty training and will need a patient adopter to guide them. They thrive on outside time but should never be left unattended due to their size—protection from potential dangers is essential. These happy little dogs are looking for a family that will celebrate their quirks and keep them safe. Remember, they come as a package deal, and their next adventure should be together, for life!
