About Appa

Appa is a young male Chihuahua mix who recently joined us from a high-intake shelter. Since he's new here, we’re still learning about his personality and background. Our staff is eager to get to know him better and will update his profile as we gather more information. For now, he hasn’t interacted with other animals, pending clearance from our vet. If you’re considering becoming Appa’s forever home, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. We process applications on a first-come, best-match basis and can't hold animals. When you meet Appa, it's essential for all household members, including kids and any other pets, to join the introduction to ensure compatibility. If it feels right, we encourage you to complete the adoption the same day! He’ll come home to you spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and with a starter bag of food. This little buddy is waiting for someone special. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
