Cyrus is a big, strong boy with a big head and an even bigger heart. He loves making new friends and going for long walks to find sticks to chew. He’s about 4 years old and previously lived with young children. He’s a big softie and takes his nap time very seriously. He’s gentle on the leash; a treat is an easy way to sway him from any distraction, or to keep his manners in check. He has received treatment for some skin irritation but may have a food or environmental allergy that would need a long-term plan to keep his skin and coat shiny and smooth.

Alvida is a sweet and gentle soul, looking for a warm bed to snuggle in. She can be a little shy and quiet at first, but quickly warms up to new friends and becomes extremely affectionate. She’s good on the leash, never pulling, and maintains an easy, loose stride. She’s also gentle when taking treats. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who will be both your shadow and your best friend, she’s the girl for you.

Cyrus and Alvida are both at Doggie Style Pets in Chestnut Hill, 8100 Germantown Ave.
