Peppermint Patty and Sally

My story

Cuteness Overload!Double the snuggles! Double the wags! Double the laughs! Double the love! Double the trouble! ~ JK Peppermint Patty and Sally (presumably mother and daughter) were found as strays in Oklahoma, seemingly dumped, fending for themselves and relying only on each other. One of our rescue partners reached out and shortly after, they made the long car ride to their foster home in western Maryland. Because of their close bond and all they’ve been through, we ask that they be adopted together. Peppermint Patty – Patty is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix, approximately 5 years old, weighing roughly 10 pounds. She has a lot of energy but knows when it’s time to Netflix and chill. She loves to play, play, play; she could play all day! She is curiously and playfully mischievous. She loves to roughhouse with her humans and romp around with Sally. She even initiates play with her 60-pound foster brother. Patty absolutely loves to snuggle with her foster parents. Wherever her humans are, Patty is never far behind. She warms up to people quickly and is very outgoing. She is housebroken and crate trained. She has some (manageable) sass to her, hence the nickname - Krabby Patty. Likes: eating, zoomies in her fenced-in backyard and after bath time, fresh bananas, stealing slippers (while her hoomans are wearing them), and Sally. Sally – Sally is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix, approximately 2 years old, weighing roughly 8 pounds. It is impossible to look at her and not feel the cuteness overload every single time. She does the cutest “spinnies” when it’s feeding time. Much like her Momma, Sally has tons of energy and loves to play, play, play! It takes Sally a little longer to warm up to people; it took about 3.5 months for her to open up completely to her foster parents. After you earn her trust entirely, you will see her personality shine! She is learning to use her ramp more and more to safely get up and down furniture. Sally isn’t fond of loud noises and sudden movements, so she’ll need a quiet home, and we don’t recommend a home with young, rambunctious children. Sally is housebroken (although she can be sneaky during inclement weather) and crate trained. Likes: eating, snuggling with Patty, “boxing” with her foster mommy, kongs filled with frozen yummies, and boiled cabbage. Together – Patty and Sally have a bond that is so sweet to witness, but their bond is not unhealthy (they’re not codependent nor do they have separation anxiety), but you can tell by watching them that they absolutely adore each other and love spending their days together. They love sleeping in the big bed with their hoomans; Sally will snuggle right next to your chest. They get along great with their three big foster dogs and politely respect their space. They have not been tested with cats, but with slow and proper introductions, we think they would do just fine. They’ll keep you laughing and smiling all day every day. Because of their high energy, they need an owner who will stimulate them both physically and mentally. When arriving at their foster home, it was plain to see that the girls weren’t familiar with any rules, boundaries, or commands. They now know “Sit,” “IN” for crate, “Come,” and how to wait politely for their meals. And although they’d never admit it, they are eager for structure. They need someone who will continue to teach them how to be the goodest girls. They love to learn and are very food motivated, so training should be fun and easy. They love their leash walks and hikes; they enjoy seeing and smelling the new world around them! They go on multi-mile hikes with their pittie siblings; their record is 6 miles and looking to break that every time they hit the trails! They love car rides and would be excellent travel buddies; they are thrill seeking adventurists! If you’re ready for a life filled with laughs, adventures, and love (so much love), this power pair might be the perfect fit for your family.
