Meet Nellie and Neddie, a father/daughter combination, full of love and devotion for their special human.

Nellie is a 4-year-old, 7 pound, "blue" long coated Chihuahua. She has white and brown markings as well. At first look, her coat appears to be a dark brown but is actually a blue/grey fur variation in dogs. Nellie is very friendly and gets along with all of the other dogs and cats. She is a "selective" eater and considers herself quite a princess.

Neddie is a 12-year-old, 7 pound tri-color Chihuahua. He is believed to be Nellie's "daddy". Neddie is still very playful and likes to walk on his leash and play with Nellie and the other fosters. Neddie is also a "selective" eater, and has a regal air about him until he rolls over to get his little belly rubbed. Neddie gets along with other dogs and cats and is a friendly chap.

Nellie and Neddie are understandably comfortable with each other. They are from a high kill shelter and were confiscated together. They often sleep together and check up on each other. It would be nice to have them adopted together if possible. The ideal home could include other dogs or cats and older children and adults. Please no young children, Nellie and Neddie are small and fragile.

Nellie and Neddie are both up to date on their vaccines, HW checked and on Prevention and Nellie has been altered. Neddie will be altered this week.

If you are interested in Nellie or Neddie together or seperate, please contact Megan of Limbo Chihuahuas at bonoball@tampabay.rr.com or 727-423-0226. Limbo Chihuahuas is a not for profit rescue soon to have 501c status. All adoption fees are used for medical care of all the dogs in the rescue. Donations - material and otherwise - are allways welcome.
