Meet Milo & Otis (Bonded Pair)

Inseparable brothers who do everything together! They must be adopted into the same loving home.

Milo is the brave scout who checks out new things first, while Otis is the gentle shadow who loves to lean against your knees for pets. Adopting this pair means double the tail wags and endless entertainment watching them play together.
