Meet Kyle! Your new extra-super-duper happy best friend!

Found as a stray in Chicago, this approximately 2-year-old, 9-pound dynamo is ready to trade street life for the good life! We were told Kyle was a Chihuahua, but we suspect there’s some Miniature Pinscher in the mix, too. Whatever his recipe, the result is one tiny dog with a whole lot of personality!

When Kyle first arrived at his foster home, he was so excited to be indoors that he immediately did a victory lap at approximately 100 mph. Kyle is equal parts energy, smarts, good vibes, and pure entertainment. His daily zoomies are a full production, and his foster family has front-row seats!

But Kyle isn’t all speed and shenanigans. This little guy is SUPER sweet and absolutely loves his people! Expect to be showered with kisses, smothered in snuggles, and greeted with wiggles so fast his entire body practically turns into a blur. He flops around with wild abandon, too, because apparently a regular greeting just isn’t dramatic enough. Subtlety is not his strong suit, but making you feel loved? He’s a professional.

Kyle loves other dogs, is doing well with the cats in his foster home so far, and is good with kids. He has no trouble meeting new people, rides nicely in the car, and is crate trained. He’d likely be a great candidate for doggy daycare, too, because apparently having an entire household to entertain just isn’t enough.

With his speed, enthusiasm, and eagerness to have fun, Kyle might even be a future dog-sports superstar! Agility? Rally? Fast CAT? He’s a 9-pound package of untapped athletic potential. (We recommend stretching before attempting to keep up.)

Kyle is looking for an active, fun-loving family ready for plenty of playtime, laughter, kisses, snuggles, and a little controlled chaos. If you want a dog who makes every day feel like the best day of his life and loves you like you’ve been gone for 47 years every time you walk through the door, Kyle is your guy!

Small dog. BIG energy. Ridiculous amounts of love. Zero shortage of enthusiasm.

Could Kyle be your new best friend?
