Kimmy
Chihuahua MixAvailable for Adoption!
Kimmy is a sweet, young, little girl who has transitioned into her foster home very quickly. Her breed is a guess of possibly chihuahua and papillon?
Her pictures show her double cherry eyes but they are going to be surgically corrected on August 9th, 2024. Over the past month Kimmy's vision has been upgraded to good in both eyes!! Her poor vision was significantly restored with proper care and vetting once she came into rescue.
Kimmy loves playing with humans or other dogs who do not mind her puppy energy. Two of the dogs in Kimmy's foster home are small and Kimmy's same age, and the three of them are beginning to play and run together. She is a submissive girl once she gets to know and trust the other dogs she comes in contact with. She is very smart and catches on quickly to redirection and correction when she becomes "mouthy", using her teeth to go after hands, only when playing as puppies do. She never purposefully bites, she has just never had social skills taught to her since she came from being on the streets.
Kimmy loves people and is most often found lying on her foster mom's lap or right beside her on the sofa. She loves to be pet anywhere and everywhere.
Overall, Kimmy is a very quiet and calm girl, especially for her young age.
Kimmy rides very well in the car.
Kimmy is doing amazingly well with house training, as she uses a crate when her foster mom is not home and is taken outside immediately when her mom gets home. She has a very occasional accident in the house but that's amazing for the short time she's been living inside a home.
This little lady is going to make a perfect little companion for someone!

health information
Heartworm Test: Negative
Vision: Kimmy's vision has improved to good since her eye infections have been treated.Cause: Cherry Eye and infection
Notes: Kimmy will have surgery to correct her cherry eyes on August 9, 2024. Her vision should improve even more after that surgery!
Vet report: Kimmy is a healthy little girl! Kimmy has bi-lateral cherry eye. She has some remnants of corneal scarring caused by debris getting trapped in her cherry eyes. Very good prognosis for restored vision. With the corrective surgery and a few more weeks on eye drops to help with tear production during her recovery, her vision should return to almost perfect.
