Benito and Lil Zig are two adorable brothers, part of a litter of five, looking for their forever homes. The baby boys were born on Dec 12 as an "oops" litter.... the neighbor's dog jumped the fence and impregnated momma dog. They are a mixed bag of small breeds, the momma dog was a 10-pound chihuahua and while dad is unknown, we were told he weighs less than 20lbs. Both currently weigh in at approximately 6.5lbs at 10 weeks old.
These brothers eat like wild pigs - absolutely love their meals and treats. They are always touching one another or one of their foster siblings. They are getting more confident and sassy with each passing day.
They are doing well with use of potty pads and are kept in a puppy playpen for their safety while foster mom works from home in the other room. Cuteness is a distraction!
They have had their first puppy shot, have been dewormed and will be neutered with adoption. They are happy healthy puppies and. would be great in a home with other dogs or cats.
If you would like to meet Benito, or for more information, please email PetRescueOfMercer@gmail.com . Applicants must live within 60 min of Hamilton, NJ to be considered. A vet check will be conducted for each application and a solid vet history for current and past pets will be verified. All current animals in the home must be up to date on vaccinations and preventatives prior to the vet check.
