About Momo

Momo and her daughter, Half-Pint (Snowflake), are a tight-knit duo looking for a quiet, stable home together. Momo is a confident, affectionate 8-year-old Chihuahua mix with a steady, loving temperament, and her daughter Half-Pint brings a gentle touch that matches her mom’s calm presence. Since arriving in foster care, they’ve shown how adaptable they are—both thrive in slower-paced settings and reward their people with loyalty and companionship. Both Momo and Half-Pint get along well with other dogs and don’t pay much attention to cats either. Their nature is low-key and mellow, making them an easy fit for anyone looking for more peaceful pets. While it’s unknown how they’d do with kids, their sweet personalities suggest they’d settle in well in many situations. The catch? They’re inseparable—their bond is unbreakable—so applications are only considered for the pair together. If you’re seeking double the snuggles and twice the heart, these two could be just right.
