Autumn's Story

Autumn and Spring are 2 gorgeous shihtzu/Bassett mixes that have not had the best life.<br/><br/>Autumn and Spring are sisters who were born to a shihtzu mom and a Bassett dad. Ow. We said the same thing. As far as we know, these 2 are the only ones from the litter and the owners kept them, but they were not in a good situation. Thankfully, we were able to get them out of their outside kennels where they received little attention and bare minimums, and into a home where they are loved and being well cared for until their forever homes come.<br/><br/>These sisters were born April 25, 2025, so are under 1 year of age! <br/><br/>Both have wire hire like a shihtzu, and bodies like Bassetts.
