Description:
Bess and Pearl came together as owner surrenders. They have been together for years but are not necessarily a bonded pair; they are independent enough to consider separating for the right homes. Both girls are extremely small and quite shy and skittish at first. Bess is the less shy of the pair and is also more playful- she enjoys small dog toys as well as exploring her surroundings. Bess is almost completely black and is even smaller than Pearl, which is not easy- these are some very little Dachshunds! The girls' foster mom feels that once the two settle in they will lose a lot of that initial shyness. They will need a very secure environment and must be supervised while outside due to their small size and skittish nature- we don't want to risk any escapes or predators! On a positive note, the two are very cute, not at all aggressive, and appear quite healthy. They are just having a bit of difficulty adjusting to a new environment. For a loving, patient owner who appreciates loving, cute little girls, these are great pets!
