About KitKat

Meet KitKat, a delightful chocolate chihuahua who tips the scales at just 9 lbs. KitKat came to us after her owner had health issues, and she was very much loved in her previous home. She has a friendly history with cats and is known to do well with dogs, though we're introducing her to her foster home gradually. KitKat is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea prevention. She is completely potty trained and prefers going outside, but will use a piddle pad if necessary. Given her petite size, she is best suited for a home without small children. If you’re in search of a sweet lap companion, KitKat is your girl! Who can resist a chocolate cutie?
