Sookie and Ivy are a pair of rescued senior dogs. Sookie was adopted in 2011 when she was eight months old, after spending only one day in a local SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). She was surrendered by her previous owners to the shelter.
Ivy was adopted in 2013 from Orange County Animal Services. She was between six and ten months old at the time and was found wandering near the airport. Suffering from an upper respiratory infection and skin infection, she didn’t meet her new sibling, Sookie, for three weeks. But when they finally met, they became fast friends.
Sookie and Ivy are both Staffy mixes, a mixture of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier with another breed of dog. And they’ve become Internet sensations thanks to their adoptive pet parent, Jani, and her unique hobby and love of crocheting dog hats of interesting shapes.
