My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kimmy is being fostered in PA.

Update:
8/25/24
Kimmy has had her double cherry eye surgery, was spayed and recovered extremely well. She is on cyclosporine drops for a few more weeks and then she should not need any eye drops.
She does have a luxating patella (kneecap that is a bit loose) that her foster mom wouldn’t have even noticed if the vet didn’t find it upon examination. No treatment is necessary at this time. She also has a cute habit of placing her tip toes of her one back foot on the floor when standing and /or eating. She has scar tissue on her one toe from an older injury so she may have gotten in the habit of favoring that foot when she was a stray. There is no sign of injury or discomfort at other times and it does not limit her at all.
Her playful mouthiness is almost completely non existent unless she is extremely excited but she is very easily redirected with a chew toy.
Kimmy continues to charm everyone she meets and even those who observe her from a distance. Her foster mom and others describe her as the perfect girl.
Kimmy’s vision has improved to excellent since her eye infection and cherry eyes have been corrected. She does not appear to have visual impairments at this time but if she does, they are minor.
She is a wonderful lap dog, loves her human and is good on a leash.

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 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 amazing 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!
