Arlo and Kimbo

My story

Senior bonded Shih Tzu cross pair, Arlo and Kimbo, are looking for their forever home to live out their golden years. They were surrendered by their owner who could no longer care for them. They are 10 and 11 years old, neutered males, friendly with visitors, dogs, and cats. This loving duo would enjoy nothing more than snuggling up with you and yours on the couch and going on a short walk or two daily. They love walks, car rides, getting belly rubs, and all the pets. They can be vocal at times so a home without shared walls would likely be the best fit for them. Kimbo is a little on the fluffy side and is on a weight management diet. Arlo has been diagnosed with bladder stones and is receiving treatment. We suspect that they did not have a regular housetraining/walk routine in their prior home and they are brushing up on their housetraining. They can go through the night without having accidents now with pee accidents in the daytime decreasing the longer they are in our foster care. Is this the dynamic duo you've been waiting for?
