Chicago & Fargo
Dallas / Ft. Worth

 
Fargo and Chicago are brothers.  They were born in a puppy mill and separated for almost a year, but as soon as Chicago came here, they bonded again right away.  They can not be separated again!  
 
Fargo has had it tough.  After many months, he is almost the perfect dog.  Fargo is a dog's dog.  He loves to play with the other dogs and with toys and run around.  He sleeps in, and doesn't like to be disturbed when he is asleep.  He's a very happy boy that knows exactly how gorgeous he really is!  He can get along with almost any dog, but doesn't like children of any age at all.   He really enjoys life, and will be a perfect dog for anyone that doesn't have children.
 
Chicago has had a very, very rough life.  When he came to us, he would go potty all over the place if you went anywhere near him.  He wouldn't take treats (even if you threw it to him).  All he did was lay by himself and shake all the time.  It took us moving with all the dogs for him to finally start coming out of his shell.  Not because of the house or even us too much, but because he finally figured out that he was part of a pack.  He is now taking treats out of my hand, running around, playing with the other dogs (he doesn't understand toys yet), wagging his tail, and even barked and growled once.  He doesn't really trust men too much, but he has gone to his foster Dad for "protection" when our friend came over.  He is coming into his own more and more every day.

These two wonderful boys are sweet, gentle, and very loving.  They have both had very bad things happen to them, but with a little patience, understanding, and guidance, they will be loyal to you for life!!  Because of what they have been through, they have to have more than the usual 2 visits.  Please keep in mind these two have been through more in their 2 years than most people have in their entire lives!  With this being said, they most likely will not walk right up to someone they don't know.  But, once you earn their trust, it will be the most meaningful thing in the world!  They have great hearts that have been broken, and we all know every time your heart is broken it takes a little longer to share it again.  If you can offer then the kindness and acceptance that they need, you will be rewarded with years of loyal companionship.
