About Albus Local July

Meet Albus, a delightful 6-month-old male Chihuahua/Dachshund mix currently weighing in at 8 lbs. This small but charming pup has a sweet disposition, although he can be a bit shy. Rescued from a metal kennel where he lived outside, Albus is looking for a loving home where he can thrive. He's been altered and his vaccinations are up to date, making him a healthy candidate for adoption. Albus gets along well with dogs, which could make him a perfect addition to a multi-pet household. While he may need some time to adjust, his curious nature will shine through with a patient owner. He is not house trained yet, so a little extra effort will be needed to help him learn. You can adopt Albus during our upcoming events from July 10 to July 12, 2026, at various PetSmart locations in Rhode Island. The adoption fee is $600, which covers his spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
