Then Shoes

Meet Pants First and Then Shoes—the most adorable “get ready” routine you’ll ever fall in love with. <br/><br/>These scruffy little terrier mix brothers are about 1–2 years old, weighing in at a perfect 28–30 lbs each—short, stocky, and built for maximum cuddles. With their happy expressions and wagging tails, it truly looks like they’re always smiling… and honestly, they kind of are.<br/><br/>Pants First (the white one) and Then Shoes (the brindle one) are the definition of best friends, but they’re confident, social boys who can absolutely thrive adopted together or separately. Think of them as your perfect “pick your outfit” situation—either way, you’re winning.<br/><br/>These boys are people lovers through and through. Wherever you go, they’ll happily trot behind you like your own little entourage. They don’t demand the spotlight—they just want to be near their humans, quietly soaking up the love. And bonus: they’re respectful house guests who don’t get on the furniture (yes, really!).<br/><br/>They’re great with other dogs and have done well with older kids. They likely would do fine with younger kiddos too, but they do get a little bouncy when excited—so homes without toddlers might be the best fit just to avoid accidental knockovers during their “OMG HI!!!” moments.<br/><br/>Curious about cats? They’ve smelled the resident cats in their foster home and basically said, “meh.” So they appear very cat-tolerant.<br/><br/>They’re mostly potty trained and did what a lot of dogs do on day one—tried a little “new place, who dis?” marking—but quickly settled in and stopped. In a new home, a short adjustment period is totally expected, but they’re already well on their way to being solid house dogs.<br/><br/>At night or when you’re out, they kennel well. They might give you about 15 minutes of “hey, I miss you!” protest, but then they settle down quietly and keep their space clean and dry like good boys.<br/><br/>And let’s talk personality:<br/>They’re playful without being wild, affectionate without being clingy, and just the right mix of goofy and chill. Whether they’re exploring the yard, following you from room to room, or just sitting there looking ridiculously cute and scruffy, they bring an easy kind of joy to everyday life.<br/><br/>So… are you a Pants First person?<br/>Or more of a Then Shoes type?<br/>Or maybe you’re ready to take on the full outfit and double the love?<br/><br/>Either way, these smiling, scruffy brothers are ready to step right into your life—and your heart. <br/><br/>Apply at adoptapal.org/adopt to meet one or both of them! They are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and come with a free month of pet insurance.<br/>EACH DOG'S ADOPTION FEE IS $450. Can be applied for together or separately.
