Millie and Buster

Meet Millie and Buster, mother and son. They are in a foster home right now and available for adoption, to the right home, through Adopt-a-Pet in Fargo. Information from Adopt-a-Pet's web site:

Millie and Buster are a mother and son team. Millie is about 3 ½ years (16 pounds) and Buster is approximately 3 months old (7 pounds). They are Poodle/Terrier mix possibly with Maltese or Lhasa Apso. Both are current on their shots and on heartworm. Millie has possibly had a few batches of puppies, and has not been spayed yet. She will need to be spayed by end of August. Buster will need to be neutered in October.

Both dogs love people and have a quiet temperament. Millie is submissive but protective of Buster. She loves to be held like a baby with her tummy scratched. Buster is very energetic and is learning to play fetch. They are both learning how to interact with other dogs and cats and are doing well. They’ve had limited interaction with children but have done fine. They are only kenneled at night, and do well when kenneled together. They are left in a large entry during the day with access to a dog door and large fenced yard, and don't have any accidents in the house. However, Buster does have occasional accidents in the evening when having the run of the house. They will both need continued patience and commitment working with house training.

It would be best if Millie and Buster would be adopted together. Buster is VERY attached to Millie. Buster is constantly curled up sleeping with Millie or following her around. He definitely prefers having a canine companion, and because of that and his energy level, his new forever home will be a more enjoyable experience if Buster has a constant playmate.

Millie and Buster's foster home are much attached and want the perfect dog lover home for these two.
