Meet Kerry *Arriving 5/30*

Meet Kerry, the sweetest little Chihuahua with the most adorable underbite that will melt your heart! Kerry is an affectionate girl who loves nothing more than being in your lap, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. She’s playful at times, but mostly, she’s all about cuddling and enjoying quiet moments with her favorite humans. Kerry can be a little shy and hesitant when meeting new people, but once she gets to know you, she warms up quickly and becomes your best friend. She’s also a wonderful nighttime snuggler and loves curling up with you for a peaceful night of sleep. Kerry is an intelligent girl, always eager to please, and she’s quick to learn and adapt to her surroundings. This sweet mama dog came to us with one puppy, and she was the most devoted mom. She took amazing care of her little one, and now she’s ready to find a home where she can enjoy all the love and pampering she deserves. Kerry may be a bit shy at first, but with patience and love, she will become a loyal, affectionate member of your family. If you're looking for a sweet, intelligent, and cuddly gal, Kerry is waiting to steal your heart! Kerry is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 05/30/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.  Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program.   Click here   to learn more about this program.   This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease and is available through our Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian. Click Here to learn more about heartworm disease.   If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
