Kitty, Yorkshire terrier and toy fox terrier mix
Kitty is a lovable female Yorkshire terrier and toy fox terrier puppy currently housed at Pooch Match.
Kitty will get along great with cats, dogs and kids. She is vaccinated.
Notes from Kitty's caretakers:
Kitty is four months old and weighs four pounds. She will at least double her size to be full-grown. She is doing well with crate-training and house-training in her foster home. Kitty is very loving and affectionate, she wants to be near her humans most of the time. She has an adventurous side too — she likes to play and wrestle with her canine pals. She'd do best with gentle dogs as she is very delicate.
