Mid-Peninsula Animal Hospital would like to introduce two rescued Papillons we are fostering through Paphaven rescue.
Meet Nelly, a young (2-3 year old) spayed female. Nelly came with hardly a hair on her body due to severe internal and external parasites. We treated the condition successfully. Her new coat is coming in and you can really see what a beauty she is going to be. Nelly is a happy-go-lucky girl and quite often lets loose with a melodic chortle!
Pansy is, most likely, Nelly’s daughter. We are guessing her age at somewhere around a year, and she too has been spayed. Pansy is a beautiful tri-color and she is quite the character. Her nickname could be Happy Feet because she sure loves to dance!
A little bit about the Papillon breed, although small in stature they are quite the athletes. Very quick on their feet they are becoming popular in dog sports such as agility. Papillons are often included in the top 5 most intelligent dog breeds. So if you are looking for a small companion who is game enough for a nice hike or game of ball then the Papillon is for you.
They love visitors. Even if you're not interested in adopting, if you would like to meet and play with them, they would love to meet you! So, come by and say Hi!
