When a good Samaritan found 10-week-old Kiwi wandering in the woods, the puppy weighed just 2 pounds and was barely bigger than a softball. Nearly frozen in the frigid temperatures, the tiny Chihuahua was thin and dehydrated and suffered from a severe genital infection. The person who found Kiwi immediately called PETA for assistance.
After receiving some much-needed medical care and TLC, Kiwi was adopted by PETA members who can't believe the fantastic puppy was homeless. Kiwi's new family includes a 70-pound canine "brother," Higgins, who is so enamored with his little pal that he won't eat a bite of his own food until he knows Kiwi doesn't want any of it. Kiwi is always game for adventures at work, school, or wherever his family is heading. What a happy ending for this little fella!

LOOK AT HIM...HES ADORABLY CUTE!!!! awww i want him. you guys did so good on finding and adopting him before anything happened!!:)
To anyone who has No Kill shelters in their area.
No Kill closes the doors to new admissions when they get "full" and unfortunately people then often abandon their pets on the streets.
Keep an eye open for suffering abandoned animals on the streets and in the woods and PLEASE bring them in and call for help!
Okay, this pup is adorable. I vote you make him your mascot! Get him a little PETA bandana! More pictures!!!!!!!!!!!
Congradulations on adopting Kiwi! He is absolutely adorable! I'm so glad he got a happy ending indeed and I know PETA will take extra care of him :).

@milindesai - We thought the orange and white stripes would give it away, but that’s a leopard-print polyester fleece blanket, not real leopard fur.
