Patch Pets: Charity and Candy Belong Together

Animal Friends is looking for a home for a loving mom-and-daughter duo.

Charity and her daughter, Candy, are two adorable beagles.

Until they came to Animal Friends, the only home they knew was an outdoor cage. This mother and daughter are very close. They worry when they are apart, so they need to be adopted together.

Charity is 5 years old, and Candy is 4. They recently spent a few weeks in a foster home where they loved living indoors and being part of a family.

Their foster mom described Charity as friendly, gentle, curious and very affectionate. Her favorite activities are cuddling, taking long walks on her leash, napping and lounging on the couch with her family.

Both Charity and Candy are crate-trained and appear to be house-trained. They get along with other dogs and ride very well in the car. Candy knows the “sit” command and walks very politely on a leash. Their foster mom said she will make a great canine companion for a lucky family.

Charity has been an especially busy girl since her arrival here, and she has enjoyed every moment of her new experiences. She recently went on a field trip to a local school where she spent the day with two groups of children, ages 6 to 9. She was well-behaved and very content sniffing around the room and taking in all of the activity. 

Charity also has a cloudy eye, which is probably the result of a prior injury. Our vets found that she does have full vision.

If you can offer this sweet mother and daughter the forever home they so deserve, contact the Animal Friends adoption desk and arrange to meet them soon.
