DOB 7/1/23, weight 11 lb.

Hey there, everyone! I'm Kathy, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It's understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kate in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn't take long for my heart to heal, and now I'm all wiggles and wags. Sometimes I can be a bit jealous of other dogs, but generally I get along well with the small dogs in my foster home, and I hit it off great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn't you know that cuddling in Foster Mom's lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. Plus I'm kennel-trained.

Unfortunately, one of the consequences of having irresponsible owners the first time around is that I tested a light positive for heartworms. I'm currently undergoing the Moxi-Doxy treatment protocol, which HOPE will pay for until it is completed. Given my young age and good general health, I'm expected to make a complete recovery.

Now I'm ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give - all I need is YOU! Although we're available separately, Kate and I think it would be the cat's meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!
