Kunal is a 4-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua mix with a quiet spirit and so much love waiting to bloom. Though shy at first, he’s already showing his sweet, cuddly side in his foster home—especially with the help of a confident dog buddy who’s teaching him how to relax and enjoy life.
Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Companion
🐾 4 years old and just 12 pounds—small in size, big in heart
💤 Calm, house-trained, and sleeps soundly through the night
☀️ Loves napping in the sunshine and snuggling with his foster family
🐶 Enjoys the company of other small dogs who help him feel secure
🚶♂️ Still learning to walk on leash and adjust to new experiences
💖 Blossoms beautifully with patience, kindness, and routine
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A quiet, loving home with another small, confident dog
✔️ A patient, dog-savvy adopter who understands shy pups
✔️ A calm environment without young children
✔️ Extra care and safety while he continues building confidence (he can be a flight risk)
Kunal has come such a long way already, and with gentle love, his true personality will continue to shine. 🌼 He’s the kind of dog who rewards patience with deep trust and endless affection.
