Tinkerbelle and Annabelle are looking for a furever home because their owner was entering hospice. This sweet bonded pair are looking for a great home together! They are housebroken and are very affectionate.

Foster Update:

• Leash Manners - Both are great on leash and walk very well using a harness.  In fact as soon as you pick up the harness they're begging to get them on.  They also love to ride in the car and stay in the seat and do not try to get out.
• Crate/House Training - They are both crate trained and house trained.  They are crated at night but during the day they have full run of the house whether I am home or not.  They do not chew but do like to lay on the furniture.
• Socialization - Very well socialized with all people, including kids of all ages.  Very alert and will bark to alert me of strangers if someone drives in or rings the doorbell.  Friendly with everyone.  They do well with other dogs bust do better off leash than while on leash.  Not sure about cats because I don't have any.  They do like to chase squirrels in a playful way.
• Energy Level and Exercise - They're not overly active or hyper.  They're very calm and laid back while in the house but do like to run and play when outside.
• Daily Structure and Schedule - When I get up in the AM, they go outside.  Then they eat breakfast, about 3/4 cup mixed dry and wet food.  They eat three times per day but could probably only eat twice a day now that they have gained weight.
• Confidence Level - They are very obedient and eager to please, not alpha dogs.
• Obedience Training - They come when called by name.  They do not dig in the yard or chew anything.  They know Down but most of the time you don't even need to say anything, they read body language very well.
• Behaviors - No bad behaviors, they are two little angels.
• Personality Quirks - They follow me around most of the day, like to be loved up and they get plenty of that here.
• Ideal Home - They would really be great in any home, with or without kids, other dogs, any aged family, etc.

If adopted together there combined adoption fee is only $200.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, there are two distinct varieties of this unusual dog: one is hairless except for its feet, head and tail, and called, not surprisingly, the Hairless; the other is called the Powder Puff. It has a coat of long soft hair. The Chinese Crested originated in Africa where they were called "African Hairless Terriers." The ancient Aztecs kept them as bedwarmers, and believe it or not, did eat them. The Chinese trading ships stopped along Africa on their routes, and it was there that they picked up these dogs because they were excellent ratters for aboard their ships. They renamed the dogs "Chinese Crested" and the name stuck. The stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee, used to breed Chinese Crested. The most popular of the hairless breed, the Chinese Crested are still very rare. These dogs are sweet, lively, playful and cuddly. They are exceptionally loving and likes to hug and smile. Affectionate with children. Children should be taught not to be rough with this breed as it is friendly, but it does not have the protective hair that other breeds have and can get injured easily. They are an entertaining companion. Intelligent and very alert. Puppies should be well-socialized and exposed to loud noises when young to avoid potential timidity. If its owners do not baby them, these dogs can grow up to be a very well-adjusted dog. They have an ability to perform tricks and are generally good with other pets. They are not barkers. Chinese Crested Dogs like to climb and dig holes. They tend to become very attached to their owners and have difficulty adjusting to a new one. Chinese Crested Dogs crave constant companionship. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
