Are you a fan of unlikely duos? Meet the best brothers in the world! They're a bonded Pitbull and Jack Russel/chihuahua mix, but their size difference doesn't stop them from doing everything together!

Biggie, true to his name, is a large guy but he's got the big heart to go with it! Biggie loves everyone he meets and will rush up to them, tail wagging, for pets and lots of kisses. He is a joyful dog who is always happy to play, cuddle, or walk- he just loves life!

Poppy is more cautious and will bark/growl at new people, but once he sees Biggie happily befriending them, he will come over to sniff and join in the fun. Poppy takes longer to fully trust someone or be comfortable with them touching him or picking him up, but earning that trust is well worth it. Once Poppy likes you, you've got a friend for life! He is extremely loyal as well as affectionate and playful, and will sit on his chosen people's laps, give kisses and even allow them to pick him up and carry him!

Poppy also has epilepsy which is well-controlled with medication, but if must be administered on time every 12 hours without delay. Luckily he takes his small pill very well in a treat and Biggie gets a treat too just for being cute!

Biggie and Poppy do everything together and get distressed if they're separated for more than a few minutes. They take all their walks together and walk well on a split lead despite the size difference! They also will often cuddle together at night, though they appreciate the option to have their own beds as well.

These boys are feeling a bit cooped up here at the shelter and are looking for a forever home (or a foster home!) where they can stay together while each getting a bit more personal space.

They would do best in a home with adults only, or children who are teens or older. They would also prefer to be the only dogs, because they have more than enough love to go around!
