2 very smart loving bonded senior sisters, who have lived together their entire lives and have become inseparable best friends. With that being said, they will ONLY be ADPOTED as a PAIR. With hearts as big as their fluff. Molly, collie mix (black) is the life of the party, as she doesn't quite know she's 11 yrs old and her faithful 11 yr old sister Darcy, great Pyrenees (white) is the reasoning, calm, voice behind all matters. These 2 lovely bonded girls are so gentle, smart and tolerant of anything thrown their way. They are living with another small-13 lb dog and large 90 lb dog. With proper intro, could live with other animals. Neither have a care in the world for the chickens; they visit and say hi too, on a daily basis. Darcy, has some arthritis issues, which have been managed very well with meds and adequate and proper exercise. Molly is just starting to show the sign of slight arthritis herself, but has also been managed well, with just 1 med a day. Brushing is needed daily, both do very well. But never the less, don't let the word senior or the assistance of meds, play a roll in their spirits. These to lovely bonded seniors, have plenty of love, life and happiness to bring a furever family.
