Zander and Zayne

My story

Hello World! We’re Zander and Zayne—and we are pleased to meet you. We are two sweet, bonded brothers who are ready to find a forever family where we can continue our journey together. We may be different in size (Zander’s the sturdy one at 20 lbs, and I, Zayne, tip the scale at 12), but we’re perfectly matched in heart, loyalty, and the art of lap lounging. Our dad was a handsome bichon and our mom a cute little Maltese. Zander looks like dad and I look like mom. We’re about 2½ years old and have already mastered the ultimate duo move: synchronized snuggling! Our favorite pastime? Curling up together on a warm lap, rolling around for belly rubs, and soaking up every bit of love you’ve got to give. We’re affectionate little guys who find comfort in each other, and our happiest moments are when we’re cuddling with our special person --and each other. Zander is the gentle, steady one. We're learning to be calm in the car, great on walks, and have made big strides with potty training! Zander tends to follow my lead, but once he trusts you, he’s all in for tummy rubs and soft pets. I'm the smaller and the more confident of us so we balance each other beautifully. We’re both good with other dogs and have been working hard on building trust with people. Zander has a deep big dog bark when new folks visit, but if you ignore him and give him a moment, he settles down quickly. You see, we’re still learning about the world and haven’t spent any time with cats or small children, so we’re thinking we'd do best in a home with adults and/or older children who can help us continue to build confidence and feel safe. We sleep in our crates, enjoy yard play, and have moderate energy—we’re not wild guys, but we DO love a good romp. We’re also super smart and would love to learn more commands and tricks and hope to do so with our forever family. Since we are so smart we know there's a lot we can accomplish with a little time and patience. Our Ideal Home MUST Have: - People with big hearts and gentle hands - A calm, structured environment - A home ready for both of us—we’re a packaged deal! _ Other pups in the home are fine, too! Experience Level: - Previous or current dog experience - Adults or a family with children over the age of 8 In our previous home we had love but very little socialization, so we’re still learning about the world; every day we’re growing, trusting, and opening up. So if you’re looking for a duo that’s full of love, potential, and undeniable cuteness, we might just be your perfect pair. With cuddles and wagging tails, Zestful Zander and Zany Zayne
