What he really wants to take, though, is his heart full of love for his favorite human — and find someone new to give it to.If you’re looking for a loyal, quirky, and affectionate companion who knows exactly who he is, Meldon is ready to report for duty.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are interested in meeting any of our babies, please complete an online application at https://kykittycats.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6024 If you don't see pictures on Petfinder, please go to our website to view at www.kykittycats.com and we always have a waiting list that hasn't been posted yet.  We are a super small, no kill rescue that is operating way above our capacity.

Sammie is a sweet 10-year-old, 16 lb Chihuahua who found himself back at the shelter when his owner had to move into a nursing home. While this change was tough, Sammie has landed in a wonderful foster home where he’s being loved, spoiled, and reminded just how special he is. This gentle little guy is all about comfort, companionship, and cozy naps. He’s the perfect match for someone looking to open their heart and home to a senior dog who still has plenty of love to give. If you’re ready to spoil a deserving pup and gain a loyal best friend, Sammie just might be your man!
