About Rosie and Rufus

Meet Rosie and Rufus, two delightful chocolate-brown Shih Tzus who showcase that some things are just better together. This bonded pair is seeking a forever home where they can continue their joyful companionship. Rosie is around 1.5 to 2 years old, while little Rufus is still under a year. They are playful, affectionate, and genuinely thrive in each other's company. When we tried separating them, it became clear that their happiness lies in being together. They entertain each other and bring comfort to one another, making them a perfect duo. Both are crate trained and full of love, and they get along wonderfully with other dogs and children. Rosie and Rufus come vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. Adopting these two will fill your home with double the joy and companionship, as they are happiest side by side. We recognize that adopting two dogs is a bigger commitment, but the love and laughter they bring is worth it. Their adoption fee for both is $700, a special rate to help them find a loving family.
