About Kale

Meet Kale! At 9 years young, Kale shows that the sweetest hearts often reside in small packages. This charming fawn Chihuahua found himself in need of a new home after his owner passed away. When the family couldn't keep him, they reached out to Mac's Mission to ensure he would be safe and cared for. Kale is an affectionate boy who thrives on attention. Though he can be a bit vocal, it's just his way of expressing himself. Beneath that cheerful bark is a loving soul eager to be close to his people. He recently had his dental work done on 10/30 and is neutered. Kale has a grade 4 heart murmur, so potential adopters should consult with their veterinarian on this matter. Car rides aren’t his favorite, but he hopes to find a home where travel is minimal. Senior dogs like Kale have so much love left to share; he is ready to find someone special to connect with. Could you be the one to give this sweet boy his happily ever after? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
