About Lincoln & Washington

Meet Lincoln & Washington, an inseparable pair of brothers who take their roles as vigilant watchdogs very seriously, but they’d rather take cuddle breaks any day. Lincoln, known formally as Lincoln Leroy only when he’s naughty, is the brown one, while Washington, affectionately called Bubsy, is the white one. These two are the last of their nine-puppy litter, born to a wonderfully caring mama rescued on a cold night. Every day, they patrol their territory and make sure to sound the alarm at anything they deem suspicious, although their threat assessment might be a bit generous. Playtime sees them racing around, tossing toys back and forth like pros before they settle in for some serious snuggles. Washington is a bit shy initially but will quickly roll over for belly rubs once he warms up, while Lincoln, the dedicated lap dog, enjoys both cuddles and the thrill of a good game of chase. Treats? They are their motivators, and the fastest way to their hearts is through the snack jar. It’s vital to note that Lincoln and Washington prefer to be the only dogs in the household. They are protective of their human and do not readily welcome cats or other pups into their domain. They require a home with kids aged 12 and up; younger children might not handle their enthusiastic spirits appropriately. A fenced yard is essential for their patrols, and while they are crate trained and leash walkers, they certainly like to pull, so bring along some strong arms. Ready for two furry bodies to brighten your day? These boys are looking for a forever home together.
