About Kryptonite D

Kryptonite D is a small Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix originally from Arkansas. He gets along well with dogs—especially those similar in size—but manages with larger ones too. He’s also friendly with cats and children. Although not yet neutered, he’s making progress with house manners thanks to a regular outdoor schedule, and no longer marks indoors. Kryptonite is not comfortable using a leash, but he enjoys time spent in the yard. He rarely makes a sound—barking isn’t his thing. Kryptonite has a deformed back leg, but it doesn’t slow him down much. He can manage a couple of steps to get outside, but more than that is tough, so he’ll need help with stairs. At night, he sleeps with his foster’s daughter, and spends time in a kennel when alone during the day. For those looking for a quiet, sweet companion who doesn’t mind being carried sometimes, Kryptonite D could be a great fit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
