Marley & Cocoa - Dachshund and Corgi Dog for Adoption in Momence, Illinois

Marley & Cocoa came to us last week because their Dad passed away! His daughter did take them to give them their furever home but unfortunately her 2 German Shepherds were very accepting of them! It broke her heart to give them to us but she knew it was the right thing to do for them. They do get along with other dogs and kids. Their Dad had them their entire lives. He is all they knew. So they can be a little shy and nervous at first because they have been through so much. But they are the sweetest and gentlest babies ever. Marley & Cocoa are 5 yr old Doxie/Corgi mixes! They are brother and sister and are a very extremely bonded pair. Cocoa will not go anywhere without her brother. So they have to be adopted together.
