​

Meet Cookie and Mello, a bonded pair of Shih Tzu’s with a sense of adventure and fun. These two are
excited to go out for a walk where they are both very well mannered, but they are also ready to run around
in your backyard and play. This isn’t to say that they don’t love to snuggle with their people and know
how to settle down when needed. As much as they would love to join you on any adventure you have, and
they do very well in a car, they are also fine with staying home. They have a big crate that they stay in
together whenever needed, including bed time. Whilst they will complain a little to begin with, they settle

down quickly.

​

Both Cookie and Mello are very social and enjoy being around people. However they do have a tendency
to bark at new things that might seem scary to them. For instance new people coming into the house,
however they seem to be settling down quickly after saying hello. They both get along great with other
dogs, we are not too sure about cats, smaller animals or kids, however we believe that they would be fine.
When it comes to the basics this duo is still learning. They know to go outside to do their business,
however they might have a few accidents in a new environment in the beginning. Just showing them
where to go out when necessary should do the trick. They are however through and through two amazing
dogs that are both extremely happy and sweet. They are both very easy going, and find ways to entertain
themselves when needed. Whilst Mello is the snuggler of this duo Cookie likes to instigate play and fun.

The best of both worlds to say the least.

​

Whilst these two know how to entertain themselves, they absolutely love their people. Often being called
little shadows by their foster home. If you are looking for two companions that will be by your side and

give you both snuggles and adventure, these are the two for you.
