Psst… night owl. Hi. Pretty Girl & Shiner (BONDED PAIR) here.
We're a package deal—two senior ladies who've weathered life together and know exactly what we need: stairs-free living, someone home most days, and a partner willing to learn our care routine because we're absolutely worth it.
Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.
I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Millis.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Pretty Girl & Shiner (BONDED PAIR)

About Pretty Girl & Shiner (BONDED PAIR)
Shiner (Momma) and Pretty Girl are a bonded senior pug pair—14 and 12 years old—who came into rescue together after their previous owner entered hospice care. Deeply attached to each other, they rely on one another for comfort and confidence and must be adopted together. Both girls have arthritis and cannot navigate stairs; they need a one-level home or someone willing to carry them, as well as a household where someone is present most of the time to provide gentle support. Shiner is deaf and has vision issues from pigmenting keratosis requiring daily eye cleaning and medication. She cannot move independently outdoors and needs manual bladder and bowel expression three to four times daily—a procedure her foster family can teach prospective adopters. She takes NSAIDs and probiotics and is generally cooperative with care. Pretty Girl, at around 23 pounds, would benefit from weight management to ease her mobility; she is otherwise healthy. Both completed antibiotics for Lyme Disease and will need evaluation for additional medical history before adoption. Timid at first meeting, both girls blossom with patience and kindness, settling beautifully once they feel safe. They get along well with other pugs and friendly small dogs and enjoy a calm household filled with couch time, naps, and snuggling with their people. They are loving, loyal, and grateful for kindness, ready to spend their golden years as a bonded pair with a family committed to meeting their ongoing medical and care needs.
