Lucy and Ricky - Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle mix, bonded pair

Throwing one dog out of the house is bad enough but two at the same time? Maybe the owner thought that since there were two of them, they'd be able to survive on the streets of Toronto by themselves. Or maybe they met on the streets and became an inseparable duo.

Either way, Lucy and Ricky have a well honed survival instinct. These two pint sized pooches can be ferocious in their kennels with people who peer in on them but once out the door, they melt into cushy lapdogs. The two of them are a bonded pair which means they like each other too much to be separated. This is sweet but makes it harder to adopt them out because we'll need to find someone who is willing to take two dogs at the same time. I'm crossing my fingers on this one.

For adoption information on this dog and other dogs (and cats and other animals), please visit Toronto Animal Services.
