We at Forgotten Paws understands the need to sometimes keep a set of dogs together. If they have been together all their lives, we try our best to find them a home together. Finding single homes is tough enough so placing two dogs at once is even tougher.
However, I, as the Director of the group, always had a fear that if something happened to me, that my two little girls, Sandy and Sugar (beagle mixes) would be separated. I made everyone in my life promise me that it would not happen and they would forever be together. I guess this is where my passion for keeping dogs who are bonded together in the same home.
We appreciate you thinking about adopting a "set". I also believe that two is always better then one. They entertain each other and keep each other company when you are not home.

Ducky and Dot are the last remaining pups of a litter of 10. They are the shyest of all the pups and never would interact with anyone at adoption events. They are very attached to one another and where Ducky is, Dot is never far away. These two cuddle together, play together, and I don't think they would know what to do if separated. They are wonderfully sweet little babies but we know that if they are placed in a new home, it must have a fenced yard and someone with lots of patience. It will take weeks for them to get over thier fears.

Zoe and Indy have been together since birth. They were confiscated by a man who had poured bleach on them to get rid of fleas and cut their tails off at home with pruning sheers. They were very young so luckily they don't seem to remember all that!
Zoe and Indy are so sweet and loving. They are both very submissive and shy although they do have separate personalities. Indy loves to rub her belly in the grass and roll around happily. Zoe is a princess and the queen of the couch. These girls do love each other but they have made separate lives here.
They will require a secure fenced yard. We WILL separate these two if a good home comes along for one and not the other.

Laverne and Shirley were taken from a Hoarder in Alabama. These girls grew up on her farm in a pen out back with little to no socialization. We have had them for 2 years now and they just love to be loved especially if you have a brush in your hand! They give kisses and bounce a few inches off the ground with happiness when they first see you.
They have never been apart and we feel that although Laverne would adjust, Shirley may not. Laverne is the more outgoing, happy go lucky one, while Shirley worries more. They are both very good on leash and listen very well. They love to lay outside and get the fresh air and enjoy the sun but they also want to be near their person.
Laverne is a toy hoarder and will take them all and not allow Shirley to have any. They have to be fed in two separate bowls b/c Laverne will steal her food as well. However, if you take Laverne off with out Shirley, you can see that she is in constant worry and gets very timid until Laverne returns. Peas in a pod is the best way to describe them.
These girls would do great in a home with a big fenced in yard where they can hang outside all day and inside at night. That would be their dream. We WILL NOT separate these girls just yet. We truly hope that someone will open up their hearts and homes to these big babies. |

Benny and Luke were rescued from a Hoarder over in Alabama. She had over 100 dogs on her property and these poor babies had been born in a pen on the back of her farm where they lived all of their lives and were never touched. Even after we placed all the dogs and these boys were the only ones left behind, she ignored them completely. They came to live with me 2 months ago.
Benny and Luke and their siblings have never been separated. They are very very shy and timid of new things and seem to go better when they have each other. At the farm they had been separated into different pens and Benny and Luke were together. They love each other. They lay on each other in positions that you think would be very uncomfortable. They are side by side all the time and Luke follows Benny lead most of the time.
Benny is outgoing and wants desperately to be loved. His tail goes 90 miles an hour and he wiggles around when you have treats or you use baby talk. He comes to you for treats and will lean in to get them. If you sit you can pet him and he is happy. Luke is like Benny but much shyer. Only if Benny goes to you will Luke go to you. If you move to fast he will decide it isn't worth the treat and go lay down while Benny things the treats are worth anything!
These boys will need a person who is very gentle, very patient and who has a very tall fenced yard. This someone has to be willing to listen to me b/c I know these boys and I know the looks on their faces when they get freaked out and what you have to do when it happens. The key is to ignore them and walk away and they will follow you but if you go towards them they will run and YES they can jump a 6 foot fence is they feel they need too.
These boys are wonderful and they have it in them to be wonderful but they need a chance. They have had nothing in their lives until now. If you can FOSTER them that is all we are asking at this point.
We WILL separate these boys if we can find the homes with other outgoing dogs who they can learn from. PS - there are two more of this litter now listed!
