About Kevin

Meet Kevin, a charming short-haired, tan Chihuahua mix ready to steal your heart. Around 2 years old and weighing about 12 pounds, Kevin is a delightful little guy who was rescued along with other dogs after being dumped. While his friends found homes in New York, it's now his turn to find a loving family. Kevin is an active companion who enjoys snuggling just as much as playing. He's food motivated and does well with other dogs, making him a great fit for a home with furry friends. Kevin prefers a calm, quiet environment where he can feel secure and settle at his own pace. While he’s great with people, older children who understand gentle interactions would be ideal, as younger kids might unintentionally startle him. He keeps his crate clean and walks nicely on a leash, making him a well-mannered companion. Kevin has a sweet disposition and loves being close to his person. He feels more comfortable at night with a light on near his kennel. Up to date on all vaccinations and neutered, Kevin is all set for a family that will cherish him. His $450 adoption fee covers his medical care, including vaccines, neuter, microchip, foster care, and transportation from Louisiana to New York. Your new best friend is just one click away.
