About Koji & Korra

Koji & Korra are a tiny, deeply bonded pair seeking a quiet forever home together in Bethel, CT. Surrendered through no fault of their own, these two have leaned on each other for comfort and need to stay together—no exceptions. Koji, a 2-year-old long-haired Chihuahua at just 5.5 pounds, is shy with new people but becomes affectionate and loving once he feels secure. He’s happiest when held or tucked in a cozy bag, always close to Korra. Koji is house trained, pee pad trained, and crate trained. Korra, an 8-10-year-old Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix at 6.5 pounds, is friendly and calm, enjoying sunbathing and snuggling with Koji. She gets along well with people and small dogs, walks nicely on a leash, and knows basic commands like “sit.” Both pups are well socialized with other small dogs and need a home with no large animals or young children, simply because of their size. Their adoption fee covers both dogs, and Koji & Korra are fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and heartworm negative. Ready to bring home two sweet, tiny companions?
