Fall River Forever Paws Pet(s) of the Week Mickey and Missy are all about being in your lap and wanting attention

A tiny terrier duo looking for their forever home together!

Fall River Forever Paws Pet(s) of the Week Mickey and Missy are both seven-year-old terrier/chihuahua mixes. Mickey, the silver fox, is about 11.5lbs while Missy, the beautiful blonde, is about 8.5lbs.

If you’re looking for two little sprigs of sentient dandelion fluff to bop and frolic around your house, these two are IT for you.

Both are nervous nellies at first which is understandable because this is a brand-new environment and there is A LOT going on here. If you were only 9lbs and random hairless giants kept picking you up, you’d probably be terrified of life too. Once they have time to settle (which, honestly, takes barely any time at all), they are all about being in your lap and wanting attention. Mickey is SLIGHTLY more outgoing than Missy…but not by much.

Neither of them have much interest in toys at the moment, though that could always change once they’re settled in their new home. Right now, they prefer just paling around with each other and with people. They’re both pretty good on a leash, mainly because they’re small and can’t take you for a ride if they see something interesting. They’re mild-mannered, low-energy, scruffy gremlins but are still definitely capable of the occasional zoom.

They would do best in a quiet home without a ton of coming and going. Other dogs are fine (though Mickey can be sassy in the sense that if another dog gives him attitude, he’ll give it right back) and cats are fine as well. Older kids (12+) would be best.
