WASHINGTON – Say hello to Terry Boot and Susan Bones.
These two 7-year-olds were reluctantly relinquished to the Washington Animal Rescue League when family health issues made it impossible for their owner to give them the attention they deserve.
Described to us as Labradoodles, we think this brother and sister look a bit “Schnauzerish” as well, although we can’t say for sure.
What we can say is that these gentle giants are both calm, well-adjusted and laid back. They enjoy each other’s company at the shelter and, if placed separately, would do well with another canine companion to hang out with.
Don’t miss the opportunity to welcome one or both of these wonderful dogs into your home!
