About Miss Chestnut

Miss Chestnut is a playful little "lioness" with her golden, fluffy fur resembling a mane. At only 8 weeks old, she currently weighs between 11-13 lbs and is still growing, full of energy and ready to explore the world. She enjoys her playtime with the resident dogs at her foster home and loves her chew toys. As she settles into her new environment, updates will come soon. Training is highly recommended for her, as it is for all dogs to ensure well-behaved companions. Being a mixed breed, her exact size and breed will remain a best guess as her parents are unknown. Adopters should keep in mind that meetings are by appointment and the entire family should be present, including any current pets, who should be up to date with their veterinary care.
