This lovable pair is out to steal your heart! We first spotted Walter and Felix at Chicago's Animal Care and Control, where they had been given up together and were sleeping on top of each other. These poor boys were so confused by their arrival at the shelter and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, we have a soft spot for pairs and we know that their chances of staying together can be slim. These boys are clearly bonded and we wanted them to be together, so we took them into our program. Though their “brotherhood” binds them closely, they each have their own personality, complementary to the other.

Walter is our 11 year old Bichon Frise with the mind of a puppy! Just like his brother, he loves to work for his treats. We have been working with him on waiting patiently, but he always catches on quickly. This little guy would be the perfect cuddle bug, perfectly content with warming your lap at any given time. Walter sometimes does forget his size, and gets a little excited around some larger dogs, but he will always calm down quickly with a little assurance and a lot of love.

Felix is our lovable 9 year old Shih Tzu. Complete ham! This youngling loves his belly rubs, and is just looking to get loved on. He is very people driven and is more than prepared to accept a treat from you. He’s a gentle little soul, ready to be in his forever home with his brother, Walter.

Because these two have spent their lives together, we would like the rest of their lives to be together. They are currently in a foster home with dogs and cats. They’re very low maintenance, relaxed pooches who still have lots of love to give.
