PARIS – A1111168

“We are family”…Yes, they are… Eleven year old Precious and her nine year old daughter,  Paris are with us as their owner could not care for her pets anymore. Both gals have grown up  and played with children,mingled with other small dogs and even a cat…They are friendly, playful, sociable and well mannered and seem to be true family dogs, happy to be around all creatures, big and small, humans or animals…Although I truly think they have been loved, Paris and Precious could have used a  little bit more TLC. They are quite matted and a stop by the grooming salon is definitively a must. Both will be absolutely gorgeous after their makeover…Mom and daughter are very gentle, needy of human affection(they love the lap), good little walkers and probably house trained as indicated by their former owner. They like soft treats and take them very politely from my hand.  Precious and Paris have many more years ahead of them providing they receive proper care and love. They are active, lively, very sweet , loving and come with great recommendations..They are a promise of happy times to come. Seniors make wonderful pets. I can vouch for that having had a number of them in my life…
